It's A Sin true story, the real story of Jill Baxter. It's A Sin actress Lydia West said her character is based on a real person, who also acts in the show.

But he was determined not to be forgotten and, perhaps even more importantly, for everything positive that he d experienced not to be overshadowed by his illness.
