Emmerdale has announced it will air a special episode as part of Faith Dingle's cancer story.

Faith (Sally Dexter) has been told that her chemotherapy isn't working and she bravely makes the decision to stop any further treatment. Her devastating diagnosis continues to impact the lives of her children as they navigate this heartbreaking turn of events.

It is set to be a devastating week in the village as the Dingles begin to understand what this diagnosis and decision will mean for the future.

As the matriarch of the Dingle family, Faith has always had a complicated relationship with her children Cain and Chas, and the episode will see Chas (Lucy Pargeter) try to get Cain (Jeff Hordley) to open up and be there for his mum, as the pair reminisce through the night about their childhood.

Lucy said: "Chas is desperate for her brother to reconnect with their mother before it's too late and these scenes really explore the reasons behind their complicated relationship.

"Chas and Cain have a real heart-to-heart and I loved having the opportunity to explore their past once again. The scenes were emotional to film and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they come together as part of a really moving episode."

Jeff said: "Filming these scenes was a genuine and emotional experience. These episodes are beautifully written and great to act and I am pleased to have been given the opportunity for people to see another side of Cain."

The episode will also see Faith disclose her news and decision regarding her treatment to her close friends Eric Pollard (Chris Chitell) and Brenda (Lesley Dunlop).




Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
