Fans of the show will know that Alice was diagnosed with cancer while she was pregnant with Samson but refused to abort the baby and start intensive treatment.

As a result, by the time the baby was born, the cancer had spread and Alice was told she would die.

When she became too weak to even hold her baby son, she asked Sam for his help in ending her life instead of waiting for the cancer to kill her.

He obliged and helped her take an overdose of her pain medication.

The police became involved and eventually Cain Dingle confessed to the crime, telling Sam that his infant son didn’t deserve to lose two parents.

But when Sam tells Samson his part in Alice’s death, the schoolboy reacts badly and calls Sam a murderer before storming off.

When Lydia goes after him to try and talk him round, he lashes out and accidentally pushed her down the stairs.

Lyds is rushed to hospital and it’s here that a consultant points out that she has a suspicious-looking mole on her leg.

But seeing Sam’s distress over re-living his ordeal with Alice and her cancer, she decides to keep her news to herself.

Later, Sam and Samson ask her to go along with them to Alice’s grave.

When their conversation turns to cancer, Lydia becomes unsettled and Sam realises something is wrong.

Will she admit to him what the consultant found?
