In this latest storyline, long-standing character Diane Sugden is diagnosed with colon cancer which was discovered whilst she was being treated for stab wounds following an incident with Chas Dingle.

Diane quickly begins chemotherapy treatment, the scenes of which were filmed on a specially designed set fully equipped by Medical Hire. The set design included specialist chemotherapy chairs, side tables, drips and syringe drivers, as well as a host of other accessories and consumables.

Medical Hire also provided the Yorkshire-based soap with a ‘cold cap’ to use during filming – a specialist piece of equipment which helps to reduce hair loss caused by chemotheraphy. Filled with a chilled gel, the cap is designed to keep the scalp cool before, during and after treatment.
