But luckily for Gary he managed to escape Rick’s clutches when his back was turned. However, it seems his luck might have run out next week when Gary finds himself targeted by Rick once again.
The drama starts next week when Gary’s ex Sarah Platt heads off for a secret rendezvous with new flame Adam Barlow.
When Gary and Bethany realise that Sarah is missing, they have no idea that she’s sneaking around with Adam, and instead Gary becomes convinced that her disappearance has something to do with Rick.
Tracking Sarah down to a hotel in Worsley, Gary heads off to save her… thinking that she is in terrible danger.
But when he gets to the hotel he asks the bellboy if he has seen someone who fits Sarah’s description and he confirms that she was at the hotel with a dark-haired man.
Convinced that the man must have been Rick, not realising for a second that it was Adam Barlow, Gary fears the worst and calls Rick, demanding to know where Sarah is.
But Rick uses Gary’s mistake to his advantage, luring him to some abandoned woods under the pretence that he has got Sarah hostage and that Gary needs to meet him there to save her.
As Gary dashes off to rescue Sarah, he has no idea he’s fallen into Rick’s trap and that he’s heading for certain danger.

Before he knows what is happening, Gary is fighting for his life as Rick tries to kill him once again.

Is this the end for Gary? And will Rick get to use that grave he’s been digging after all?
