Coronation Street fans were wondering if they had blinked and missed a rather important event on the soap on Wednesday night. Last week viewers watched in disgust as Rick Neelan's funeral was gatecrashed and his coffin spat on.
The former loan shark was laid to rest by his daughter Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap after his body was discovered in the site of the new Weatherfield County training ground - three years after Gary Windass killed him in self defence after he threatened his then-girlfriend Sarah Platt and their families.
Before Rick's body was found, Gary confessed what he did to a then-dying Laura Neelan and after initially thinking of going to the police in order for Kelly to get inheritance when she died, the mum had a change of heart and she took to rap herself and was charged with murder to ensure her daughter could stay with guardians Gary and his wife Maria.
