Coronation Street fans were left 'gagging' following the arrival of an unexpected visitor to Rick Neelan's funeral. In Friday night's episode (April 15) there was drama as Kelly Neelan said farewell to her murdered gangster dad flanked by her guardians Gary and Maria Windass.
But as the devastated teen paid her respects to her father she was in for a shock as a stranger marched into the church and interrupted the service. And when he was asked if he was there to say a few words about Rick, he took aim and vengefully spat on his coffin.
Corrie viewers were reeling from the scene and complained that it was 'disgusting' and 'too realistic.' @DavidMackayy tweeted: "Did we really need to see the spit on the coffin #corrie." @jayne_leigh observed: "Spitting on the coffin...not really covid secure." And @NicoleMary2004 tweeted: "It’s Rick’s funeral, where is your respect? You should never spit on someone’s coffin if you didn’t like them, you should be respectful."
