Following his journey from the initial signs to the stroke and its severe consequences, the outcome will see a massive effect on Patrick and those around him, which will continue to be explored throughout the rest of the year.

“This is an important storyline in so many ways. Not only does it give the wonderful Rudolph Walker the chance to shine, but we also hope it will raise awareness of the warning signs that come before a stroke and the difficulties of caring for the elderly in 21st century Britain”.
