Coronation Street will honour Sinead Tinker in moving scenes over New Year.
The show is currently exploring a big grief story with Daniel Osbourne, following the death of his wife Sinead back in October.
Sinead passed away at home following her battle with cancer, but Daniel has been tormented over the kiss he shared with Bethany Platt in the days beforehand.
Daniel's struggles will continue over the coming weeks, as he prepares for Bertie's first Christmas – but also his first one without Sinead.
Determined that he shouldn't be on his own come New Year, Daniel's family will rally round him and Bertie as they prepare to see in 2020.
As the Barlows call in at Daniel's flat, they insist that he can't spend New Year's Eve alone and come up with a moving way to honour Sinead's memory.
What to Read Next
Daniel is touched as the clan raise a toast to Sinead, but what does 2020 hold for him?
Show boss Iain McLeod recently hinted that Daniel could play a big part in Bethany Platt's upcoming exit story.
When Iain chatted with Digital Spy and other media, he teased how Daniel's guilt over his kiss with Bethany will continue taking a toll on him in the months ahead.
"We have got the interesting next chapter of the Daniel and Bethany story, which is about Daniel's grief," the producer said.
"One thing that soap typically struggles with is telling a realistic grief time-frame because we're in that person's house, head and mind every day, and it gets to the point where as a viewer you think, 'This is really truthful, but it's getting quite dark now'.
"But I think we've found a really clever way of realistically portraying the next chapter of Daniel's grief.
"I think we've cracked what's a really interesting grief story, which isn't just Daniel sitting in his flat feeling really lonely. That's going to be quite big at the start of the year and ultimately form part of Lucy Fallon's exit story, without saying too much more about it than that."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
