- Storyline
Cathy Jamison is the main character of the drama series The Big C. She is a high school teacher who, at the start of the series, has been recently diagnosed with melanoma. Reluctant to burden her family and friends with the news, she keeps it a secret for months. She does reveal her illness to neighbor and friend Marlene.
Her behavior dramatically changes as she begins to make reckless choices in the face of oncoming death. These include kicking her husband out of the house, spending money on an expensive car and having an affair. She befriends Andrea, an obese and mouthy student. Desperate to make sure her teenage son is on the right path before she dies, she unintentionally drives a rift between them. She ends her affair when it is exposed, and allows her husband to move back in after finally revealing to him that she is sick.
She gives Sean Marlene's house, that she left for Cathy in her will. She decides to undergo a treatment with great risks because she wants to live.
Season 1
After being diagnosed with melanoma, and after being told just how little time she has left to live, she lets go of her old, boring, routine-based lifestyle and does things she would never have done before, such as get a pool-hole dug in her backyard (but she ends up not being allowed to actually make it a pool) buy an expensive new convertible, take out the money she has been saving for her retirement, and attempting to become closer to Adam and Sean; however, she does the opposite with Paul, throwing him out of the house without any explanation; however, during her brief affair with the painter Lenny, Paul sees them having sex in the garden, and this damages their relationship even more. Cathy also strikes up a friendship with her unamiable, elderly neighbour Marlene; at first Marlene is irritable and unwilling to become friends with Cathy, but they become closer as the first season goes on. Marlene is one of the first people to find out about her cancer (apart from Dr. Todd and the cancer group Cathy briefly takes part in), and, although somewhat insensitive, she is good support to Cathy. Their friendship abruptly ends when Marlene commits suicide by shooting herself in the head, after almost shooting Adam because of her Alzheimer's. Cathy also becomes friends again with her old college room-mate Rebecca, a man-hungry blonde who Cathy hasn't spoken to since her wedding, because Rebecca was the bridesmaid, and didn't turn up because she met a man. Their relationship has always been strained because of Rebecca's hunger for men, and this continues when Rebecca and Sean begin a relationship; however, when Rebecca becomes pregnant, Cathy is extremely excited.
