Coronation Street: Kelly kidnapped
After finding money that her loan shark dad had left behind to her, Kelly wanted it to go to good use, knowing he ripped people off.
Kelly has been finding her dad’s past clients and trying to give money back to them.
Last week Kelly returned money to more of her dad’s clients.
She went to return some money to a man named Ross, but as she left his house, Ross made a phone call.
Later Kelly was seen being locked in a cold, dark cellar.
In tonight’s episode (Monday, July 18 2022) Ross and Kieron came down to the cellar.
Kieron explained that he use to be Rick’s business partner and Rick caused him to lose everything.
He wanted £50k back to repay what he lost, but Kelly tried to explain she didn’t have they money to give him.
Meanwhile Gary and Maria were concerned to find out Kelly hadn’t returned home and hadn’t spent the night with Aadi, who she was due to go on a date with.
Kerion instructed Kelly to text Gary letting him know she’s okay. But when Gary saw Kelly asked him to let her mum know she’s okay, he realised something was off.
Later Kelly saw Kieron left her phone just outside the room she was being kept in.
She used voice activation to try and call Gary but he didn’t respond.
Kieron saw what she had done and called Gary himself. He demanded £50k if he wanted to see Kelly alive again.
Will she survive?
Spoilers: Gary has a plan to save Kelly
This week Maria heads to the police station, having been summoned by Craig.
Meanwhile Gary has managed to get £24k together in cash and goes off to meet Kieron and Ross in a side street.
He hands the money over, but they make it clear unless he finds the rest of money Kelly’s life will be hell.
However Gary has a plan.
Having put a tracker in the money bag, Gary finds the cellar and reveals to Kelly how he managed to find her.
They are just about to escape when an angry Kieron comes in holding a crowbar.
A fight breaks out, but Kelly is horrified when she realises just how far Gary is willing to go to survive.
