Coronation Street spoilers: Tragic death leads Kelly Neelan to turn to drugs

Kelly Neelan will find herself turning to drugs after her mum Laura tragically dies on Coronation Street.

Laura, played by Kel Allen, found out that Gary Windass (Mikey North) had killed Rick Neelan following his confession.

But, knowing that she would die and Kelly would lose all of the parental figures in her life if Gary were to go to prison, Laura lied to the police and said that she had murdered her husband.

Following her mother's death and - not knowing the truth about her tragic sacrifice - Kelly tries to come to terms with what has happened.

However, Kelly is overwhelmed when she discovers she will inherit everything from her dad, including the family home.

She asks Gary to go and check on the house for her and when he goes there, he's faced with a photo of a smiling Rick.

After he packs up some belongings and heads back to Kelly, who is overcome with emotion as she sees the reminders of her childhood.

Numb with misery, Kelly takes out her mum's bottle of morphine from her pocket and unscrews the top, just as Abi arrives...

Abi manages to intervene and takes the morphine away from her and Kelly later tells Imran about how Abi saved her.

Yet Imran looks set to use this against Abi and, knowing that she is in possession of a bottle of morphine, intends to fight for custody of Alfie.

Later, Maria admits that she's considering not attending Rick's funeral as she has her council reputation to think about, but Gary is angry and says that she should put Kelly first.

At the end of the week, they all attend the funeral and Gary is left glancing around nervously, hoping that none of Rick's acquaintances turn up.

While they gather at Rick's graveside, a man approaches and spits on the coffin, telling Kelly that he hopes he rots in hell.

Snapping, Gary punches the man - a moment which is captured by a man hiding in the bushes...

*Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV
