Coronation Street defends Hope's cancer storyline


Coronation Street producers have defended criticism of Hope's cancer storyline after some fans claimed it was “offensively” unrealistic.

The reaction on twitter to this picture and tweet from @itvcorrie says it all.

The Independent reports that fans with personal experience of neuroblastoma have branded Coronation Street's treatment of the aggressive disease a “farce”.

Rob and Victoria Young, whose three-year-old daughter Ruby is a sufferer, wrote a message on their daughter’s fundraising page describing their “disgust”.

Coronation Street have issued a statement reading: “We have not at any stage said Hope is not cured at all. This is an ongoing story which has been researched throughout.”
