EastEnders' Jean Slater will hear some devastating news from her new friend Daniel Cook next week.
Jean (Gillian Wright) has recently struck up a bond with Daniel – who she met during her chemotherapy treatment earlier this year.
As Jean prepares for her operation, she lies to her family about it being postponed – not wanting them to fuss.
Seeing through her fibs, Daniel is quick to step up to support Jean and attempts to distract her ahead of the important day.
But as Daniel's efforts fall flat, Jean quickly senses that he's not his usual self and questions him about what's going on.
When Daniel quickly leaves as a result, Jean's suspicions intensify and she's relieved when Kat turns up to offer her support.
What to Read Next
After her operation, Jean couldn't be happier when Kat gets Stacey on the phone, but her good mood takes a dive when Daniel finally opens up to her.
Knowing he needs to be honest, Daniel shares the devastating news that his cancer has spread. How will Jean react?
EastEnders airs these scenes on Friday, September 13 at 8pm on BBC One.
