Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street's Kelly Neelan could be sticking around for a while, as Billy Mayhew takes pity on her next week.

Kelly (Millie Gibson) is the troublesome daughter of loan shark Rick Neelan and has already proved to be a destructive force on the cobbles, vengefully sharing Asha Alahan's private video last week.

Upcoming episodes show a softer side to Kelly when she confides in her new friend Summer Spellman (Matilda Freeman) about her family troubles.

What to Read Next

Summer shares this worrying news with Billy (Daniel Brocklebank), who's quick to come up with a solution to help Kelly.

Billy promises that Kelly can move into their flat, giving her a place to stay. But has Kelly changed her ways after what she did to Asha?

Plus, how will Gary feel when he realises that Kelly will be so close to home?

Gary killed Rick in self-defence last year and covered up the incident by burying his body.

Ever since, Gary has lived in fear of his secrets being exposed – and it's fair to say that Kelly being so close is the last thing he needs.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, April 29 at 7.30pm on ITV.
