KELLY Neelan is given a lifeline by Gary Windass after she is fired and made homeless again.
The troubled teen – played by Millie Gibson on the ITV soap – will turn to drugs after she loses her job and struggles to adjust to life after leaving prison last month.
Viewers know she began the attack that cost Seb Franklin his life earlier this year.
She was recently released from prison for the crime after it was proved Corey Brent carried out the final attack.
Next week, Kelly’s chuffed when Maria offers her an apprenticeship.
However, Abi is left reeling when she finds out that Kelly will be living at No.7 and working at the barber's.
Later in the week, Nina tells Abi how she found Kelly in a bad way and although she can’t forgive her for what she did, it’s time to put a stop to all the hatred.
Meanwhile, Aadi finds Kelly packing, she explains that for Abi’s sake, she needs to find somewhere else to live.
