Faith decides on a do-not-resuscitate order and chooses Cain to have lasting power of attorney. Although Chas understands Faith's decision, she can't help feeling stung.

"Then we will work our way into our storm week."
She continued: "The Faith story is such an emotional and heartbreaking story. It's going to be huge across our 50th.
"I think everybody involved in that story is pulling out some of the most amazing performances I've seen in soap for a long time. So that's got a huge part to play."
