Bruce Murray, who has been a key grip on the soap for several years, has been diagnosed with stage 4 oesophageal cancer. 

A Go Fund Me page has been set up to raise funds for Bruce’s family while he undergoes treatment. 

‘Recently our beloved, good friend, Bruce Murray was diagnosed with Stage 4 Oesophageal Cancer which has unfortunately gone into his blood stream and formed multiple cancers on his bones – ribs, spine, collar bone, sacrum, and hips’ the description on the fundraiser reads. 

‘Bruce will be starting Radiation Therapy on the 3 most urgent bone areas – spine, ribs and hips and soon be starting a combo of Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy’ it continues.
