Samaritans fear Hayley's Street death could lead to copycat suicides

Coronation Street’s Julie Hesmondhalgh said there was “an almost holy atmosphere” during her last scene when her character Hayley killed herself in the face of incurable cancer.
She filmed the scene in one take with David Neilson, who plays her on-screen husband Roy, and said she was “shocked” at how upsetting it was to watch it again.
