Coronation Street: Gary discovers Kelly has been kidnapped
Recently Kelly has been trying to return money to her dad, Rick‘s, former clients.
Kelly knows her loan shark dad ripped people off and after his death, he left her his money.
Kelly decided to give back to the people her dad took money from and last week she took cash to a client called Ross.
After Kelly left, Ross made a phone call and later it was revealed to viewers that Kelly was being kept in a cold, dark cellar.
In last night’s episode (Monday, July 18) Ross came down to the cellar with Kieron, who revealed he was her dad’s former business partner.
Kieron explained to Kelly that Rick caused him to lose everything and he wanted back the £50k took from him.
Kelly tried to tell him that she didn’t have the money, but he refused to listen.
Meanwhile Maria and Gary were worried that Kelly didn’t return home.
When Gary found out from Aadi that Kelly had gone to see one of her dad’s clients the day before, he realised she could be in trouble.
Kieron forced Kelly to send Gary a text letting her know she’s okay.
But when Gary received a message from Kelly asking him to let her mum know she’s okay, he knew something was wrong.
Coronation Street fans call out Gary’s blunder as Kelly is kidnapped
Later Kelly saw Kieron left her phone out on the side.
Through a cracked window in the cellar, she used voice activation to try and call Gary.
She managed to get the phone to ring Gary, but he had left his phone on the kitchen counter and gone out.
Soon Kieron came along and saw what Kelly was up to.
But fans were quick to call out Gary saying he shouldn’t be leaving his phone, knowing that Kelly was missing and could be in danger.

#Corrie Gary is desperate to hear from Kelly, so he'd definitely bugger off and leave his phone behind.
