Corrie fans were 'crying their eyes out' on Friday night over the death of Laura Neelan in heartbreaking scenes. Laura passed away from stomach cancer while taking with her the dark secret that Gary Windass had murdered her husband Rick Neelan.
In her final days, Laura decided to take the rap for Gary after he confessed to murdering his loan shark boss back in 2019 after he had threatened him and his loved ones. Gary, who Laura had asked to be guardian to daughter Kelly following her death, admitted everything after she hired a private investigator to find out what had happened to her husband.
In a final sacrifice she led her daughter to believe she had killed Rick. And she was charged with murder so that her troubled daughter could continue living in the care of Gary and his wife Maria.
