ITV Coronation Street filmed attending funeral as details of plot emerge

Potential plot news has been leaked after members of the cast of ITV's Coronation Street were seen filming recently. Actress Millie Gibson who plays Kelly Neelan in the show, has been spotted during filming shedding a tear at what is set to be her father Rick's funeral.

An eagle-eyed photographer spotted filming and snapped the scene. According to reports in Manchester Evening News, Kelly is set to be hit by the devastating news that her dad is dead in upcoming Coronation Street scenes.

The 17-year-old actress was spotted filming at a church in Manchester alongside Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass, and Samia Longchambon was also seen as Gary's wife Maria. The burial is arranged after Rick's hidden body is found at the building site of the new Weatherfield County FC ground. Previous pictures showed former loan shark Gary looking very shifty as he filmed dramatic new scenes.

The reformed Weatherfield villain was seen in a compromising position as he appeared to be attempting to break into a construction site for the new Weatherfield County FC ground. He looked rattled after being disturbed by a security guard on the site and told to sling his hook.

But in later scenes, police and forensics swarmed the area and found a body at the building site. Now, Gary has been seen comforting Kelly as she cries over her father's death in the ITV soap.

Corrie viewers have recently seen Gary feeling the heat as Rick's wife and Kelly's mum Laura hired a private investigator to track Rick down in order to get his cash to give to Kelly before she dies. As fans know, gangster Rick, played by Greg Wood, terrorised the residents of Weatherfield for years.

Builder Gary turned to the dark side in the soap after owing Rick money and encouraged Underworld boss Carla Connor to spend £60,000 on the factory roof after a botched job by his late nemesis Pat Phelan. When Carla refused in order to save cash because it would mean the closure of the factory for months, Gary took the matter into his own hands and sabotaged the roof, which killed Rana Habeeb.

In June 2019 Gary killed Rick, buried him in a shallow grave in the woods and pretended he'd gone on the run. While most people in Weatherfield are none the wiser, Maria does know what her husband did and is equally concerned about Laura's quest to find her estranged husband. Now, with a funeral set to take place, viewers will be left wondering if Gary will be able to keep his guilt a secret or will he be facing his own demise as well.

Millie, Mikey, and Samia were all snapped filming in the graveyard of the church over the weekend. But despite the emotional scenes, the actors were able to share a smile between takes as they donned their blue and red ITV puffer jackets over their black attire. And Samia must have been feeling the chill as she tucked herself into her hood as she watched her co-stars.
