Coronation Street's Kelly makes shock discovery over Rick's murder

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street kicks off Kelly Neelan's exit storyline next week, as she realises that she has been lied to over her father's murder.

Kelly has spent the past few months believing that her dad Rick was murdered by her mum Laura, who took the blame for the crime before her death in April.

Laura, who was terminally ill, made a false confession as she wanted to make sure that Gary Windass – the real culprit – would be around to take care of Kelly once she had passed away.

In next week's episodes, Kelly is sent some of Laura's old belongings, which she had left in Spain.

What to Read Next

Kelly finds a digital camera and looks through the old photos, finding one which proves Laura was on holiday abroad on June 17, 2019.

Kelly knows that this is the date her dad was murdered, so Laura couldn't have committed the crime after all.

In heated scenes, Kelly confronts Gary with the photos and demands to know who really killed Rick.

Is this the moment that Gary will finally come clean?

Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod had already confirmed plans to expose Gary's guilt over Rick, wanting to revisit the storyline before Kelly leaves the show.

Speaking about upcoming scenes, MacLeod recently told Digital Spy and other press: "Gary has to retrace his steps back into the forest of doom, where he once fought for his life with Kelly's dad Rick Neelan.

"It's a really brilliant tying up and full stop on that story, which began with that desperate act from Gary all those years ago.

"At times we've toyed with blowing it all up and revealing the full secret to everybody. But finding ourselves in a position where we're having to exit Kelly, it just means it's now or never."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
