Last week Coronation Street viewers watched Laura confront Gary after being told by a private investigator they believe Rick is dead and Gary is the last person to have seen him alive.
Gary admitted to killing Rick in self-defence after the former loan shark tried to harm his then-girlfriend Sarah Platt and her children. Initially planning to report him to the police, Laura, who is terminally ill, reconsidered when she realised he will need to be there for her daughter Kelly.
As they made their way home, police were already waiting to make an arrest and saw Laura and not Gary being escorted away in handcuffs. Soon, fans will see Laura do everything in her power to convince the police she murdered Rick in order to protect Gary and set up a future for her daughter.
