Coronation Street villain Rick Neelan’s body will be found next week.
Having seen the news on her phone, his daughter Kelly Neelan’s (Millie Gibson) horrified to learn the police are at County’s new training ground searching for a body.
As they find a body at the construction site, Kelly clings to the hope that her dad’s still alive.
However, DS Beckett ( Kate Rutter) confirms they’ve found Rick’s body. Kelly breaks down, utterly bereft.
Kelly confides in Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) how both her parents let her down and she’s grateful to have her and Gary Windass (Mikey North).
Gary reaches a decision and tells Maria he’s going to confess to Rick’s murder.

Maria’s horrified and begs Gary to reconsider, pointing out he’ll destroy their family and Kelly’s life.
Fans of the ITV soap will remember that Gary killed loan shark boss Rick and then buried his body in the woods.
Gary has spent the past two years lgetting away with murder but, with a terminally ill Laura Neelan (Kel Allen) determined to find out once and for all what happened to her ex Rick, the clock is ticking for the one time loan shark.
Laura has hired a private detective forcing Gary to answer some very tricky questions and when news reaches him of a new building development planned for the very place he buried Rick’s body it looks as though the house of cards is about to come tumbling down.
Coronation Street boss Iain MacLeod said of the upcoming storylines: “It’s an exciting time for the show and these stories will propel us into the hour-long era with a bang and all the characteristic drama, humour, twists and intrigue that Corrie viewers have come to expect.
“We’ve got high-octane action with tragic heroine Abi, leading to life and death dilemmas.
“We’ve got riotous romantic intrigue for Daniel, with deliciously dastardly Daisy pulling out all the stops to keep her man.
“We’ve got the uber-complex Gary, who has finally turned his life around and is atoning for his sins with Kelly, only to find himself facing a final reckoning with the ghosts from his past.
“And we’ve got heart-stopping, high-stakes drama for Sarah, featuring a knife-edge showdown between Adam and his tormentor Lydia, which will leave you wondering which one’s the bad guy.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 8pm
