ITV Corrie star makes on-screen daughter cry again as she shares brilliant throwback photo

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Corrie fans were in tears on Friday night (April 9) as Laura Neelan lost her battle with stomach cancer. Viewers were in bits as her teenage daughter Kelly failed to make it to the hospital in time to see her before she died.

Kelly had refused to see her mum after she took the rap for murdering Kelly's dad, her late husband Rick. Instead of turning his killer Gary Windass into the police, she made the sacrifice so that Gary could become Kelly's guardian after her death.

There were heart wrenching scenes as Kelly held her mum in her hospital bed as she wept. And away from the cameras Millie Gibson, who plays Kelly, and Kel Allen, who plays Laura, were overcome with emotion.
