Coronation Street airs heartbreaking death as Seb Franklin dies after hate crime attack
Will Corey and Kelly get away with it?
Coronation Street aired heartbreaking scenes this evening as Seb Franklin (played by Harry Visinoni) died after he was attacked.
Earlier in the week, he was subject to a mindless hate crime attack along with girlfriend Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher), purely for the way she dresses.
And in tonight's devastating episode, Seb failed to recover from his injuries and passed away, leaving his distraught mother, Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) grieving the loss of her son.
His girlfriend Nina pulled through but when questioned by the police about their attackers were, she struggled to remember.
Viewers know Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) and Kelly Phelan (Millie Gibson) were behind the attack and throughout the episode made attempts to clear their names and get those all important alibis.

"I never intended to stay in the show forever, and it was always a goal to play a major part in a story that is as big as this is for the show. It wasn't something I could pass up."
