Who was Rick Neelan?

Rick Neelan was the loan shark with a vicious side who tormented several Weatherfield residents over the years.

He was Kelly Neelan‘s dad, and Laura Neelan’s husband.

Rick first appeared in Coronation Street when debt-ridden Joe McIntyre borrowed money from him.

The loan shark reared his head again a couple of years later and ended up kidnapping Rita on the day of her wedding to Dennis Tanner.

In the end, Rick was arrested, but when he was released from prison in 2019, he showed up on the cobbles once more wanting Gary to pay back a debt.

But Rick had met his match in Mr Windass. After several violent confrontations, Rick tried to kill Gary.

He managed to get away, but the next time they met – in the woods there was a vicious fight, and Gary killed Rick.

Later, he moved the body. Only Sarah Platt – and Gary’s wife Maria – know the truth about Rick’s death.
