Last week, Gary Windass (Mikey North) told Laura he killed her ex-husband Rick<\/a> (Greg Wood) in self-defence after it became clear that his body was close to being unearthed<\/a>. Laura had spent the past few weeks trying to locate Rick to secure money for their daughter Kelly\u2019s (Millie Gibson) future.<\/p>\n When the private investigator revealed that all angles pointed to Rick being dead and that Gary was the prime suspect, she confronted him \u2013 prompting his big admission.<\/p>\n In order to ensure Rick could be declared dead, and therefore his assets can be released to Kelly, Laura insisted on reporting Gary to the police.<\/p>\n But upon hearing her daughter\u2019s affection for Gary and Maria (Samia Longchambon), who have treated her like family, Laura took the blame and was arrested.<\/p>\n While viewers wait to find out what happens next, star Kel Allen has revealed what is going through Laura\u2019s mind right now. \u201cIt is a massive shock to her, she can\u2019t believe that Rick\u2019s dead,\u201d she says of Gary\u2019s revelation.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe hadn\u2019t even considered that as an option, so she\u2019s grieving for the loss of a man that she had already lost but now she knows he is dead and it is Kelly\u2019s dad, how is she going to break the news to her?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd she is so angry. But you\u2019ve then also got the fact that she had planned her daughter\u2019s future with this man and now [Gary] has told her he killed Rick but it was in self-defence. And now she is questioning the real reasons that Gary took Kelly under his wing, and realises it was motivated by guilt.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n Allen added that Laura went through a range of different emotions in between speaking to Gary and calling the police.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the scenes between Laura and Gary, you saw the progress and the moment she saw the truth. What Gary did he did in self-defence and you know what, Rick was a bad person and she knows that more than anyone. She never agreed with the lifestyle that he lived. That\u2019s why they split in the first place. She didn\u2019t want that.<\/span><\/p> \u201cNow she has the chance to leave a legacy for her daughter and know that she is with a man who is more decent than her father was. And when she heard the conversation between Kelly and Simon where Kelly was talking about how happy she felt with Gary and Maria, she knows she can\u2019t take that away from her. She hasn\u2019t done it for Gary or his family she has done it for Kelly\u2019s future.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n The actress notes that Laura has thought her actions through at this point, as she ensures the police believe her story.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the forefront of her mind is her confession and making sure that Kelly\u2019s secure, so she is determined to do this right. She has got all the information she needs from Gary about the murder to be able to repeat it and make them believe she did it. She even knows where the body is buried and how he died. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is harder than she thought because the police are sure she is lying as they have had their eye on Gary for this for some time and just needed the proof, but here is this woman who knows all the detail and wants to take the rap.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n Indeed, if Laura\u2019s plan works then Gary looks set to get away with murder! But as the actress explained, Gary may not be able to live with letting her take the fall.<\/p>\n \u201cI think she can see he is riddled with guilt, \u201d she explains. \u201cThere are the scenes just after the court scenes where she tells him that he can\u2019t ever let Kelly know the truth, this is so important to her as Kelly would lose another family if Gary went to prison. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBefore Laura was arrested Gary had started saying his goodbyes to Maria and Liam and was preparing for prison and now he feels guilty that she has saved him. She just hopes he holds his nerve and lets her go through with it.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n Regardless of this outcome, we know that Allen is definitely leaving Coronation Street. Laura has terminal stomach cancer, and the star admitted that filming her exit was a moving experience.<\/p>\n \u201cOh my god, it\u2019s emotional,\u201d she said. \u201cI get emotional and start filling up just thinking about it. What a way to go. When they asked me to come back for this final storyline I couldn\u2019t believe it, it was too good to turn down. As an actor to get your teeth stuck into something so heartbreaking, dramatic and even with humour thrown in is just incredible. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been three years in the running and people have been desperate for the truth to come out but I don\u2019t think they were expecting that twist. Because of that twist, the death scenes when they come are even more emotionally charged.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0<\/strong>Coronation<\/strong>\u00a0Street<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0page\u00a0<\/strong>for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.
