"Hollyoaks stars reveal tearjerking new details of Jade Albright's death
"Jade slowly slips away in Alfie's arms."
Hollyoaks stars Kassius Nelson and Richard Linnell have revealed some heartbreaking new details about Jade Albright's tragic death.
Earlier this week, the popular cast members officially confirmed the news that fans had been dreading - Jade won't win her brave battle against cancer.
It's now been confirmed that Jade's final episode will air at the end of next week, when she and her boyfriend Alfie Nightingale daydream that they're in Southport together.
The touching scenes play out after Jade develops a serious infection due to her weakened immune system, which ultimately leads to her slipping away.
Kassius told Inside Soap: "Jade had a difficult upbringing and was in and out of care, but her happiest family memories happened when she would go to visit Southport with Sonia and their mum.
"She doesn't want to die in the hospital and would go to Southport and sit on the beach if she could. So she asks Alfie to enjoy this moment with her and imagine that they're there.
"They sit on the beach talking and looking at comets, and Jade says she's cold and has to go, because of course the reality is that she's dying.
"It's been a long struggle and she's said goodbye to everyone, and now that she knows they're okay with letting her go, she's ready to let herself go too."
Richard Linnell, who plays Alfie, added: "So Jade slowly slips away in Alfie's arms. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to this story. It's wonderfully loving through horrendous circumstances, and makes you laugh and cry at the same time."

"Hollyoaks bosses want to bring back Jude Cunningham again next summer
There's great news if you're a fan of Hollyoaks schemer Jude Cunningham, as Davinia Taylor is already planning another return to the show.
Davinia reappeared on the Channel 4 soap last week after 18 years away from the role of Jude, but make the most of her while you can, because she's only back for a few weeks.
Don't fret though - it turns out that Hollyoaks boss Bryan Kirkwood was so delighted to see Jude back that he's making plans for another exciting comeback at the same time next year.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning today (October 12), Davinia revealed: "I've got four children and they just see me as 'mum'. I've been asked many times to go back and it's always been when I'm doing the school run - I'm always there for the babies - or I've been pregnant, one or the other.
"So I got a call and I think I was just serving lasagne or something and my eldest said: 'What do you mean, go on TV? You? You do nothing'.
"I was like: 'Well, excuse me young man, I'll show you'. So I did. And they managed to schedule it so it was through the summer holidays, because we have a huge break, about 8 weeks.
"So I moved up north, camped everyone up there and had a fantastic time up at the TV studios. It was hilarious. There were people up there from 18 years ago. Guys in make-up were exactly the same and people like the boom guys - it was like catching up on 20 years of wrongdoing."
She continued: "Bryan the producer said that he thought so much of the character coming back, that he said I can go back again next summer if I want to. And do you know what? That studio's notoriously freezing in February so I said: 'That sounds fabulous to me'.
"We're going to try. We're going to see what the storylines are like, but it's something that I'd completely consider. It's like a family and it gave me a self-esteem boost that I needed, because all I do is watch you guys [on This Morning] followed by Loose Women, and Jeremy [Kyle] early on.
"There's nothing wrong with that but enough's enough. I've spent 8 years gawping at you guys and it was nice to do something creative."
