Earlier this week, Juliet's terminal diagnosis was commemorated with Hollyoaks revealing a campaign, Ode to Juliet, to encourage viewers to share their personal experiences with cancer.
"Juliet's Hodgkin lymphoma is now terminal. Over the next few weeks, you'll see Juliet tell loved ones, live out her last days, and then she is going to die," Niamh Blackshaw, who plays Juliet, said in the promotional video. "In a way to commemorate Juliet as a character, and to do something positive, we want to come together and share stories of loved ones who may have been touched by cancer."
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
