Coronation Street has brought back Greg Wood as crime boss Rick Neelan in the latest episode.

As foreshadowed in last week's action-packed trailer for Millie Gibson's final week, Rick has made a ghostly reappearance in daughter Kelly's life to push her for revenge against his killer Gary Windass.

Tuesday's episode brought Rick back as a figment of Kelly's imagination, quoting Shakespeare with a lager in hand to argue for vengeance on his behalf.

"Hey Kelly Tots, here's a bit of Shakespeare for you: 'He that dies pays all debts'," Kelly heard.

Kelly took those words to heart by asking Todd for some help finding dodgy contacts, but he encouraged her to go to the police instead with her suspicions over Rick.

The teen did meet with police later on, only it was a conference with Craig to identify possible suspects in her kidnapping. She noticed one of her dad's former henchmen, Kieron, but pretended she didn't recognise him.

Kelly then met up with Kieron outside the police station to offer him £10,000 to kill Gary. Later, Gary noticed something was up and questioned why Kelly hadn't recognised Kieron at the police station.

Kelly stormed off and met up with Aadi to suggest they turn their engagement party into a leaving party, then quit the cobbles forever.

At the same time, Gary's suspicions continued to grow after Todd shared all about his chat with Kelly earlier. Then, he found out Kelly was planning to remove £12,000 from her trust fund to apparently pay for an engagement party and trip.

Kelly was fast at work setting up Gary's murder, meeting with hitman Kieron to pay him £5,000 now — with a promise he'd get the rest once Gary was dead.
