Sinead’s (played by Katie McGlynn) current storyline on Coronation Street broke hearts across the nation when it was discovered her cancer had returned, with little chance of recovery. In the coming weeks on the ITV soap, the residents of Weatherfield will bid farewell to their beloved neighbour as she succumbs to her diagnosis. However, with guilt hanging heavy on his shoulders, will Daniel (Rob Mallard) make his wife’s final days even more heartbreaking?
Since his wife discovered her cancer had returned, Daniel has been in a state of turmoil as he’s worried how he’ll cope caring for the young mother in her final days.
Although the pair believed a course of chemotherapy would give them more time, next week’s instalments will see the young couple deliver some devastating news.
Upcoming episodes will see Sinead and her husband tell their loved ones her cancer is terminal, meaning she only has a few short weeks to make the most of her time with her young family.
However, before the recent diagnosis, Sinead and Daniel were going through a rough patch as they squabbled over whether they wanted to make their marriage official.
