EE's producers must really rate/love Heather's character that she becomes one of the rare people (last time it was Dot I think) who had a whole episode devoted to them. IMO, I hope that Heather does die because if she did, that would make her situation more stand out and shock the viewers. Where as we all know what will happen, Darren discovers her, she gets rushed to the hospital, lives, comes back out and is showered with affection and financial gifts, seems to be on the mend and she'll drift into the background as Shirley's side kick and her money worries will be forgotten! Rightly as people have said, she should be surviving if she gets benefits or maybe in soapland, benefits don't exist as real life issues of benefits hardly get a mention. Not a great episode, found it hard not to laugh at times.
