Coronation Street fans were left on the edge of their seats after this week's episodes following the escalating feud between Gary Windass and loan shark Rick Neelan at the end of last month.

Gary has been revealed as Weatherfield's new villain following the death of Rana Habeeb when the factory roof collapsed in March, and is now set to embark on a darker path - but the return of Rick Neelan could mean the character's demise.

After the pair scuffled a couple of weeks ago, Rick kidnapped Gary and beat him up to within an inch of his life, but Gary was able to save himself.

However, new sneak peek pics have revealed that Rick will be returning to the cobbles to get his revenge on Gary - and it's not looking good for the builder. Show bosses have released three new pictures for the upcoming scenes, and said, 'Rick lures Gary into the woods, but it's a trap!

'Gary fights for his life against a much stronger, more prepared Rick... Will this be the end for him?'




You may be wondering what the spade is all about... But things are about to take a drastic turn for Gary as Rick is planning to bury him alive, having prepared a grave. Although Gary looks to have the upper hand to begin with, Rick quickly overpowers him and throws him to the ground, putting his full weight onto him.

It's hard to see how Gary will worm his way out of this one - but there's always the chance that Gary will actually get out of his dire situation and put Rick in the grave.

When Bethany shows Gary a picture she took on her phone of Rick on the street looking for them, Gary's thoughts immediately turn to Sarah. With Sarah away on business, Gary goes to track her down to keep her safe.

It's looking a little scary! But of course, this wouldn't be the first time a 'buried alive' storyline has been used in Soapland - remember when Tanya Branning and Sean Slater buried her estranged husband Max Branning alive, before getting cold feet and digging him up?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
