I heard hope has cancer, but not that she dies. I know it's awful, but it does happen in real life, and as long as they portray it well it will be a good story line. Same with the Calum thing, it's awful, I found the bits where he was beating up Jason hard to watch but it's a good story line I think. Calum reminds me a bit of my husband haha, dunno if that's a good thing!!!!
