Whilst Jean does believe her cancer is back, it’s worth noting that she didn’t actually get the results from the doctor. It has not been revealed if Jean does die or if Gillian Wright is leaving. However fans think Jean’s cancer hasn’t returned. Jean never got her results (if she even had the tests). She's only saying what she believes to be true. #Eastenders — Shannon (@Shannon_xoxo) March 23, 2021 https://twitter.com/tamlizann/status/1374480256879403010 Yeah I remember her assuming it had come back but I don’t remember it ever being confirmed. I hope it’s not. God though, thank god you were wrong about you too!! That must have been such a relief and loads of emotion. — Paul (@PJN74) March 23, 2021 Jean’s going to look a right fool once it turns out she isn’t dying. #EastEnders — Peta Fox (@TheRadioFanatic) March 23, 2021 https://twitter.com/katiephipps/status/1374456276545990667 I’m sure Jean is lying about the cancer so the charges get dropped #eastenders — Deborahmonet????
