Another kidnapping horror looks set to be on cards for Kelly Neelan in Coronation Street. Last month the teen, played by Millie Gibson, was left panic-stricken as she was held prisoner in a darkened cellar after her good intentions went dangerously wrong. Unbeknown to her guardians Maria and Gary Windass, Kelly had been using the cash that belonged to her late dad to put right his wrongs.
She was seen trying to return the money to the people he ripped off over the years. Corrie fans suspected this was the case months ago when the school girl was presented with a bag of cash Gary found while cleaning her dad's former house. Unwilling to stop despite Gary and friend Aadi Alahan's pleas, Kelly was seen calling at a house and introduces herself as Rick Neelan’s daughter.
As she hands Ross an envelope full of cash, she explains that she’s trying to make up for her dad's wrongdoing. That didn't deter Kelly and despite a dramatic showdown with Gary, Kelly ultimately seals her own fate by ignoring his words and meeting up with one of Rick’s old cronies.

But in shock scenes, Kelly was captured by one of her dad’s evil old clients, Kieron, and she was seen left locked in a cellar, terrified that her days were numbered. Luckily for her, Gary came to her rescue. But it wasn't long before Gary was knocked to the ground by Kieron with a crowbar.
After he came back around, a violent fight ensued and it was left to Kelly to help, picking up the crowbar and knocking the kidnapper unconscious. But Gary's rage continued and Kelly begged him to stop before they escaped the room. They have since been living their life as normal, with Kelly still unaware that it was Gary who killed her dad three years ago.
However, Millie is reported to be leaving the cobbles months after picking up her first major award. And the 18-year-old is rumoured to be bowing out of the soap in an "explosive" storyline later this year.
Last week, Millie shared some teasers from filming during a night shoot. She shared pictures on her Instagram stories between scenes after she was left awestruck by a bright full moon on Friday (August 12) and also uploaded a video on location. "The camera did it more justice than my iPhone," she wrote before adding: "Perks of a night shoot."
And it appears Kelly is facing danger again if these first-look pictures are anything to go by. Millie has been spotted filming at the Holiday Inn Express in Leigh Sports Village, donning a pink mini dress with her blonde locks styled into waves.
The Weatherfield resident is seemingly in trouble when a gang grabs her on a night out. She is seen screaming and struggling with a hand over her mouth, as she is brutally accosted by the group of men.
She is then seen being dragged into a darkened van and Corrie viewers will be left wondering if anyone will come to her rescue in time.
Rumours of Millie's exit from Corrie came after ITV teased what is to come on the famous street as it revealed what is to come on the network over the autumn. Corrie has teased that family matters will dominate the coming months with returning relatives, couples in crisis and shocking secrets causing chaos on the cobbles.
The clock has been ticking for Gary Windass ever since he took in the teenage daughter of the man he murdered. Increasingly seeing Gary as a father figure, Kelly Neelan was left further indebted to Gary when he rescued her from the clutches of dad Rick’s shady associates in scenes aired in July.
But having witnessed how far Gary is willing to go to keep her safe, Kelly starts to wonder if he has crossed that line before. Meanwhile, Gary’s wife Maria continues to struggle with the unwanted online attention her council work has brought and Gary is determined to protect her. But Is Gary’s past about to catch up with him?
