Jane Rayner

Jane Rayner was the bubbly friend of Hayley Cropper, and they had met in 2014 at a cancer support group. Like Hayley, Jane was dying of inoperable pancreatic cancer. Although Jane had put on a brave face, she had admitted to Hayley that the most scary part about dying was not seeing her children grow up. Jane had later moved into a hospice to spend her remaining days. One one visit, Hayley was shocked when she realized Jane was out of it due to the morphine.

After Hayley had suffered a shock collapse, she was released from hospital and was determined to visit Jane but on the insistence of her husband Roy Cropper was told to rest. When they finally got round to visiting the hospice, they were told by Jane's husband Jeff that she had passed away the night before. Both Hayley and Roy attended the wedding, and seeing the state Jane was in her final days had given Hayley the idea to take her own life, fearing of not remembering who she is.
