Ken Barlow is about to be placed in an impossible situation in Coronation Street when he discovers that Sinead has been diagnosed with cervical cancer – but she swears him to secrecy, meaning he cant tell his own son Daniel about what his pregnant wife is facing.
Sinead recently married Daniel in a surprise pagan wedding and pledged to put her baby first no matter what – meaning that she would be prepared to put her own life on the line and avoid treatment which would put a risk to her pregnancy or mean she would have to have a termination.
Daniel remains in the dark and is excited about the future for himself and his new wife and their baby. But Sinead is hiding a desperate secret and struggling on her own.
When Daniel is offered a place on a Masters course, he feels the time is not right but Sinead insists he takes it as she cant bear to ruin his education.
