There have been mixed reviews regarding Monday night’s emotional final farewell to one of Coronation Street’s long-standing characters, Hayley Cropper. The storyline has been played out over the last few months, capturing the hearts of viewers nationwide and covering a number of sensitive issues. 

Watching Soaps has become a normal and daily occurrence in many households, with people forming emotional bonds with beloved characters. This is one factor that has really made the storyline hit home. However, many people have lost someone dear or have had some experience with terminal illness and the effects this can have on not only the afflicted, but their loved ones too, making the last episode particularly difficult to watch.
