Kylie Platt's (Paula Lane) life will come to an end in the dramatic double episode of Coronation Street tonight (July 15) on ITV, which viewers can watch at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
Details of exactly how Kylie dies are being kept tightly under wraps by the broadcaster, but moving pictures revealed today show that she takes her final breaths on the street's cobbles, cradled by her husband David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
Chatting about filming the scene, Shepherd explained: "When the cameras stopped filming I couldn't stop crying, the tears were very real. The script is superb, every word, every moment of the scene was exactly right. They are the most moving scenes I have ever had to film. In rehearsal I just had to speak the lines and not look at anyone as I didn't want to let my emotions take over too soon."
He also explained how Kylie's death will result in the crazier, out of control David making a return: "David has had to try and keep it together for the sake of the children but he wants to blame someone for what has happened.
"He is angry at the world, he and Kylie were so close to having the perfect life and now he is a single dad and a widower. He is lashing out and behaving in a way which really starts to worry his family. There is a lot more drama in the coming months as David struggles to come to terms with losing Kylie."
