SINEAD Tinker’s cancer storyline will be revisited in Coronation Street next week as she heads to the hospital for an MRI scan.
The scan is a routine one to check that her treatment for cervical cancer earlier this year has worked and the cancer has stayed away, but that doesn’t
stop Sinead worrying about it.
Her partner Daniel Osbourne tries to reassure her, but the couple are anxious as they head off for the scan.
Later, back on the cobbles, Sinead’s aunt Beth – Lisa George – shows her a photo she took of baby Bertie while Sinead was at the hospital. Beth doesn’t get the reaction she hoped for when, overcome with emotion, Sinead rushes out.
A teary Sinead then explains to Daniel how Beth’s photo set her off fearing for the future. Daniel assures her she’s going nowhere and they ask Beth to take some family portraits for them.
Will Sinead get the good news the young family is hoping for?
With actress Katie McGlynn set to leave the ITV soap in the coming months, fans have begun to speculate that Sinead could die from cancer, leaving Daniel and Bertie behind.
Actor Rob revealed at last weekend’s British Soap Awards that he didn’t think his fragile character would be able to cope if Sinead were to pass away.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Rob said: “I don’t think he’d do well at all.
“I think he’s one of those people who thinks that there’s only one person out there for everyone and if you find it, then lose it, it’s gone. He’s very dramatic, isn’t he?
“He needs to give his head a wobble.”
Sinead was first diagnosed with cancer last year just after finding out she was pregnant. She was advised to terminate the pregnancy, but couldn’t bring herself to kill their much longer for baby.
Instead she refused chemotherapy and started alternative homeopathic treatments, but was horrified to discover the cancer had spread.
Bertie was born in January this year by emergency C-section as doctors wanted to start Sinead on aggressive chemotherapy as quickly as possible.
