Stan (Timothy West), and Cora's (Ann Mitchell) wedding day will end in tragedy when Stan Carter passes away during celebrations.
It's been a painful three year's for Stan, and that will come to an end when he passes away on his wedding day.
Stan is admitted back into hospital when the Carters are informed that Stan must spend his last days in hospital. They're heartbroken when his life comes to an end, sooner than they thought.
Cora, Mick and the rest of the Carter clan all gather to celebrate the wedding in the hospital ward, but Stan begins to feel pain again and asks to be left alone.
He asks Shirley and Mick to stay by his side, and he shares a heart to heart with them. Apologising for his mistakes in his alocoholism days.
He speaks to each of his children one by one. But it's too late for Tina, as Stan dies speaking to Shirley.
Stan is officially pronounced dead. Once we've lost a Carter, we've gained another, as Cora becomes Cora Carter. But Unfortunatley, her husband won't be their any longer.
