Coronation Street fans saw Kelly Neelan leave to start a new life following a dramatic final week in Weatherfield. In Friday's tear-soaked episode the troubled teen said farewell to her guardian Gary Windass after hiring a hitman on him, which went horribly wrong.
Her fiancé Aadi Alahan ended up getting shot after he raced to rescue his love when she was kidnapped by the same hitman she had hired to bump off Gary. Teetering on the roof of the building looking over the city's skyline, it appeared as though Kelly might be killed off.
However, it was Aadi who got shot as Kieron waved his gun at her and Aadi jumped in its path. Thankfully Aadi survived. But realising she was a 'toxic' influence on his life, Kelly gave him back his engagement ring and decided to make a new start on her own.

Back at home, Gary tried to talk her round. But she told Gary that, although she wouldn't go to the police, she couldn't forgive him for murdering her loan shark dad Rick three years ago. After they each said 'I love you', Kelly, played by Millie Gibson, was seen walking purposefully down the street with her bag.
Afterwards Coronation Street shared a clip of Millie's emotional goodbye after filming her final scene on Coronation Street. Her sweet words led Corrie fans to wonder if she'd just teased a comeback for Kelly after the door appeared to be left open for her return.
"It's just been the best experience. I'm going to miss this place so much," said Millie. "Playing Kelly is just going to stay with me forever.
"So thank you so much for being the best family. And I'll never leave the family I'll just vacate for a while." @mitchdavies1996 asked on Twitter: "'I'll just vacate for a while' this mean she could return in the future?"
@NicoleMary2004 tweeted: "Will miss seeing you play Kelly Millie!!! Glad it has been left open for you. Good luck with whatever next comes your way!!! Love you lots Millie."
@janC1955 said: "So there’s a chance she’ll be back." @locoso wondered: "She will return with a baby. The plot thickens."
xxAlicia89 tweeted: "She's just fantastic, what a great 4 years will miss her thank you for leaving the door open for her so she can return whenever she wants or gets asked to." And @JAPC72 wrote: "I'm glad the character wasn't killed off. Maybe one day Millie might return."
