And since her death, Sam has remained silent as he's tried to cope with her death.
But fans were thrilled to hear Sam speak again - although briefly - as he spoke through the walkie-talkies that Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) was given for her Christmas present.
One wrote: "Sam finally spoke! I’ve missed hearing his lil cute voice #corrie."
"Oh wow Sam talking, amazing. Lovely to see how Hope has helped him. #Corrie," a second added.
A third shared: "Sam's talking, it's a Boxing Day miracle!! #Corrie#CoronationStreet@itvcorrie," as a fourth added: "Good to hear your voice again, Sammy #Corrie."
Sam wrote a poignant letter for his mum after her tragic passing, and fans of the ITV soap were crying as they listened to Sam's heartbreaking goodbye to his mother.
"Mum, did I tell you that I loved you? Did I say the actual words?," he said, "Did you know anyway?
"Because I'm scared that you didn't, and I'm scared that when you used to kiss me with your sticky strawberry lip gloss, I pulled away because I'm not a fan of sticky strawberry lip gloss.
He added: "I'm scared that when you wanted me to dance in the kitchen with you, that I didn't dance enough. That I should have spun you like you spun me, and I don’t know why I didn't.
"I'm scared that when you used to come in my bed in the mornings, that I pushed you away, only because your toes are so cold, not because I didn't love you. I love you Mum, I love you but it's all too late now."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
