Coronation Street fans break down in tears as Kelly Neelan misses mum Laura’s final moments

CORONATION Street fans have broken down in tears after Kelly Neelan was too late for her mum’s death.

The teenager – who is played by actress Millie Gibson in the ITV soap – missed out on saying goodbye to her mum Laura after she confessed to killing her dad Rick.

Viewers know Laura took the blame for Gary Windass so he would protect Kelly after she died.

But in tonight’s episode Kelly refused to see her dying mum – until it was too late.

“I just don’t want to see her like that,” she told Simon Barlow.

“I don’t want that to be the last memory I have of my mum. And I am never going to forgive her but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to miss her.

“What if I can’t cope? I don’t know if I’m strong enough.”

He got through to her and she decided she wanted to say goodbye to her mum.

But in hospital, Maria was with Laura begging her to hold on.

“You’re a good woman, you are. I can’t believe what you’ve done for Kelly and for Gary and for all of us. 

“I’m going to be right here with you until Kelly gets here.”

Kelly found Gary and they raced to the hospital – but it was too late.

A devastated Maria broke the news to her that her mum was dead.

“I’m so sorry Kelly,” she said sobbing.

Kelly ran into the room to see her mum’s body and crawled into bed with her before breaking down fully.

And fans were in tears with her, unable to hold back their own.

One wrote: “Kelly’s scenes were heartbreaking. What a cracking actress she is. I can see her being one of the few who will go on to some starring roles. #CoronationStreet”

A second said: “Kelly breaking her heart over her mum’s body has just about finished me. #Corrie #CoronationStreet”

Another added: “Ooh that one got me. Kelly breaking her heart broke my heart. Brought back memories. #CoronationStreet”

“Full of tears at Kelly Neelan. That Millie Gibson is phenomenal,” another fan posted.
