FAITH Dingle wants to live life to the fullest before her cancer takes fully hold of her.
But her deteriorating health takes a turn next week in Emmerdale as she collapses during a party.
The veteran portrayed by Sally Dexter made the decision to not undergo any chemotherapy and accept her life is coming to an end and she intends to make the most of her last moments.
Coming up, her palliative care nurse tells her that the important thing for her to focus on is dying without any regrets.
Faith is left thoughtful by the comment and decides to make a list, encouraged by Eric Pollard (played by Chris Chittell) – although emotions run high when they contemplate what's ahead of her.
Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) is hit with the same bitter reality when her mother struggles during a country walk.
