Coronation Street's Neelan family may be down to just one member following the death of both of Kelly's parents but off-screen, they've found a new member. Millie Gibson, who plays the teen in the ITV soap, reunited with her on-screen mum earlier this week.
Kel Allen, who left the popular soap as Laura Neelan in tragic scenes earlier this year, joined Millie and former co-star Georgia Taylor in Manchester for a catch-up over some tapas. It comes amid a busy time for Georgia as her character Toyah Habeeb faces being found guilty of killing her husband.
Corrie fans were shocked earlier this month when Toyah and new husband Imran were involved in a car crash just as Imran appeared ready to confess all about his secret tactics to win custody of his baby son Alfie, who he fathered following a one-night stand with neighbour Abi Webster.

Though it was soon confirmed that the counsellor hadn't tried to avoid the scaffolding-clad building and there were no attempts to use the breaks, suggesting she rammed into the building on purpose. Despite acting the hero and getting Toyah safely out of the car, it was solicitor Imran who lost his life, suffering a cardiac arrest as his wife was put in an ambulance to be taken to the hospital.
With her husband dead, her stepson took back into care, with Abi now able to spend as much time with him as possible, and no chance of adopting Elsie, not to mention being on bail, Toyah could use all the family she could get.
Off-screen, Toyah actress Georgia looked like she'd fit right in with the Neelans as she matcher her current and past co-star's with freshly dyed blonde locks. The Wigan-born soap star got in a selfie with Kel and Millie, who recently celebrated her 18th birthday.
Posting the stunning snap to her Instagram Story, which showed Georgia smiling for the camera alongside Millie and Kel who could almost pass for mother and daughter, she said; "I only went blonde so I can be a Neelan."
Kel has since shared the photo to her own Instagram page, writing: "When Battersby / Habeeb became a fully fledged blonde Neelan. Welcome to the family @realgeorgiataylor." Millie was quick to comment on the post, writing: "Charlie’s angels," while Georgia replied: "love you both."
Samia Longchambon, who plays Kelly's guardian in Corrie Maria Windass, also shared a string of heart emojis before adding: "Gorgeous girls!" But Jane Danson, who is best known for playing Georgia's on-screen sister Leanne in the ITV soap, wasn't having it and responded: "Nope … sorry she's always gonna be a Battersby."
Fans, however, were still gushing over the snap. Fan page @kels_neelans wrote: "Look at you beauts!!" @josh.fairbridge_29 said: "Three gorgeous ladies." @grant697 commented: "Looking amazing all of you."
@kay.campbellx replied: "Name a more iconic trio.... I'll wait." @iancraigedmonds30 shared: "Triple blondes so beautiful." @davdcunningham added: "Looking fab ladies."
