Coronation Street fans are certain Laura Neelan is lying about her stomach cancer diagnosis – and all said the same thing as she turned up at Speed Daal to inform her daughter Kelly.
Kelly’s slap up meal with Maria and Gary was interrupted by the appearance of Laura, who promptly told her that she has just “months” to live after a tumour was found in her stomach.
However, as Laura began telling Kelly about the “squalid” bedsit she’s currently holed up in, both Kelly and viewers at home were certain she was making it all up for a quick handout.
And plenty of fans were wondering the same thing as the scenes played out on-screen – whether this means Gary will ‘fess up to murdering Laura’s husband Rick Neelan.
Taking to Twitter, one fan posted: “Will Kelly’s mum learn the truth that Gary murdered her husband? Self defence or not, if she’s dying she deserves to know the truth.”
Another echoed: “Laura sorry for abandoning Kelly, is Gary going to pipe up and say he is sorry for killing Rick? No, thought not!”
“How do Gary and Maria sleep at night! Gary killed Rick, Maria knows about it, they’ve taken in Ricks daughter Kelly as their own and they are both keeping the fact from Kelly that Gary killed Rick???” someone else ranted.
A fourth fan said: “Gary telling Kelly to ditch Laura when he’s hiding a few secrets himself. He caused the factory collapse and killed Rick Neelan!”

“Kelly really will sink if she ever finds out the truth about how Gary killed her dad!” another pointed out.
Later, Kelly tearfully told Gary that her mum did look ill – but, with her propensity for lying coupled with child neglect in the past, nothing is beyond Laura.
And fans are sure she’s lying, with one demanding: “Laura’s making it up, isn’t she?”

Another said: “Laura is definitely lying. She is so insincere. She couldn’t even tell Gary what stage her cancer was at!”
As someone else agreed: “If I was Kelly I’d want three doctors’ reports, X-rays and a written diagnosis – and I still wouldn’t believe Laura!”
“Why on earth would anyone believe Kelly’s mum? I’d ask to see proof from a bona fide NHS hospital!” a fourth posted.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30pm on ITV.
