RICK Neelan is back on the cobbles – and it’s not looking bright for Gary Windass.

Former Hollyoaks star Greg Wood is returning to the Street as bad boy Rick - which can only mean bad news.

Things have been grim for Gary, played by Mikey North, but they're set to ramp up now that Rick is back in Weatherfield.

The pair have been shooting scenes this week – and villainous Rick is stirring things up and preying on weak Gary - meaning there’s more trouble than ever brewing.

In upcoming scenes, Gary starts acting as a loan shark by carrying out Rick's dirty work.

And for starters, Gary finds himself on a dodgy estate trying to resolve his money troubles.

But will he end up making matters even worse for himself?

Troubled with ongoing cash issues, Gary’s relationship with Sarah Platt is really put to the test.

Could Gary be corrupted to the point of no return and become Corrie's newest villain alongside the manipulating bad boy?
