Coronation Street fans claim to have spotted Kelly Neelan's return to the soap - thanks to her 'double'. The character, played by Millie Gibson, was last seen in Weatherfield back in 2022.
During actress Millie's time on the ITV soap, she wasn't short of challenging, dramatic, and emotional storylines. She was part of the shocking hate crime storyline, inspired by the tragic story of Sophie Lancaster who was killed in 2007.

Thanks to Nina, played by Mollie Gallagher, Tanisha Gorey's character Asha Alahan, and Stu Carpenter, played by Bill Fellows, Kelly was eventually cleared as Corey finally got his comeuppance.

And the drama didn't stop right up until her exit as Corrie viewers saw Kelly's attempts to right her dad's wrongs - by giving money back to the people he ripped off over the years - go drastically wrong, finding herself panic-stricken and a prisoner in a darkened cellar after meeting one of her dad’s evil old clients, Kieron.
