Coronation Street's Gary Windass appeared to get away with murder yet again on the ITV soap on Friday, just as Rick Neelan's body is finally going to be recovered.
Villain Rick went missing three years ago with Gary the last person to see him alive - while viewers, and few residents, know that he actually killed him and buried him in the woods.
It was self-defence and Gary was the one who was meant to die, with Rick also wanting to kill his then-girlfriend Sarah Platt and her children.
