Corrie viewers were spooked by brutal soap scenes as teenager Kelly Neelan plotted her revenge against Gary Windass. Kelly was left distraught after finding out from close family friend Sharon Geary that her late father Rick Neelan had been murdered by the man she looks on as a father figure.
Kelly, played by by Millie Gibson, has been living with Gary and his wife Maria as a family, unaware that the former loan shark killed her dad back in June 2019 after Gary discovered that his boss had planned to bury him alive. Troubled Kelly, who has become a reformed character after being wrongly accused of murdering Seb Franklin, has now reverted back to the dark side after Sharon blurted out that Gary wasn't to be trusted.
Before the start of Tuesday night's episode, as Kelly's exit week gets underway, Corrie fans were warned of 'scenes of a threatening nature'. And just seconds in they were freaked out by the menacing sight of Kelly appearing behind Gary wielding a baseball bat to the pounding soundtrack of Massive Attack's Angel.

There was an outpouring of screaming emojis as viewers reacted to the sight, quickly realising as the bat disappeared that it was just Kelly imagining how she could do away with her guardian. @j_raff2021 gasped: "Oh god! Kelly is trying to hit Gary with a baseball bat." And @ShakyWoon tweeted: "A dream sequence scene of Kelly about to batter Gary with a baseball bat."
Then there was another surprise as her late dad appeared in ghostly form, urging her on to commit murder. @j_raff2021 exclaimed: "Rick’s ghost! My goodness!"
@karen_renton asked: "I thought he was dead." @VampLover27 wondered: "Where was the paranormal warning?" while @sofaneilas said: "Man do #corrie do a good crazy ghost."
@tvtweetings praised: "Loved the opening scene of #Corrie tonight the team are loving dream sequences at the moment." @DN13LSN said: "Nah Corrie is on one tonight. King Dass. Rick Neelan. Kelly in revenge mode. Scenes of a threatening nature. Buzzing off this." and @j_raff2021 applauded: "That was the best opening scene I ever seen for Kelly’s final week."
As Kelly stewed over Gary she approached Todd Grimshaw and, making out that she’s acting on behalf of a friend, asked him if he’s got any dodgy contacts. Todd asserted she’d be best to go to the police.
Later Kelly approached her father's former henchman Kieron and offered him £10,000 to kill Gary. Fans reacted in disbelief at what they were seeing from the girl who has planning to marry her neighbour Aadi Alahan after a sweet whirlwind romance.
@j_raff2021 cried: "Kelly wants £10k to kill Gary!" @sofaneilas gasped: "Kill Gary for 10K! whaaaa? little Kelly - damn man the apple don't fall far from the murder tree eh! haha." And @xxAlicia89 tweeted: "'I'll give you ten thousand pounds to kill Gary Windass' daamn Kelly."
