However, she hides how she is feeling from her friends and asks son Cain for a dance, in a heartbreaking and emotional moment between the two.
Since Faith was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, fans have taken to social media to praise Sally Dexter’s performance – and also share that they do not want to see the character leave the soap.
After Cain and Chas learnt that Faith had cancer, one fan said: “Great acting from @HordleyJeff @SallyDexterUK – Don’t want Faith to go.”
A second added: “Poor Faith, she’s trying to put on a brave front RE the cancer in front of everyone, but deep down is so heartbroken/scared about leaving her kids and family, but wants to make the most of the time left. #SallyDexter is an amazing actress.”

With the news that Faith’s cancer had spread, another fan commented: “I didn’t expect Faith’s cancer to advance this fast,” followed by crying emojis.
“Trying not to cry but it’s hard,” said a sixth.
With Faith actress Sally Dexter confirming in recent interviews that the character will not survive the cancer, next week’s episode seems to indicate that her time in the dales may soon be coming to an end – leaving her family, friends and viewers heartbroken.
