Coronation Street’s Millie Gibson ‘crying constantly’ amid emotional exit storyline

2022-09-14

Coronation Street star Millie Gibson has confirmed she was "a wreck" whilst she filmed her final scenes as Kelly Neelan.

Teenage character Kelly will depart the show in dramatic fashion soon, with a huge stunt week leaving lives on the line.

Kelly eventually discovers what really happened to her dad Rick, and finds out about the murder at the hands of Gary Windass. Setting out to destroy him – her plans backfire.

While actress Millie will be leaving the show, it's not known if Kelly will escape the ordeal with her life as she faces potentially fatal scenes alongside Gary.

While details of the show are being hidden from the public, Millie says her last moments on the cobbles were "emotional", and she burst into tears on-set.

Trying to avoid revealing any spoilers, Millie described her final filming moments as "sad" and "hard" to film, but she confirmed that she was grateful for her exit storyline.

Millie said: "I've been a wreck. If you ask anyone, there were a good two weeks where I was just crying constantly just because I think I was just so overwhelmed, and so grateful of the scenes and the storyline that had been given to me but there's a specific scene that sticks out to me.

"Basically throughout Kelly and Gary's relationship we've never hugged, and we've always spoken like, 'why have you never hugged me?'. But there was a scene where Gary hugs Kelly, it's a really simple scene.

"And as soon as we did it, and we shot it, I just burst out crying, I'm getting choked up now. It was just like, God, it's the beginning of the end. I think when we started filming our last scenes of being nice to each other, that's when we were like this is getting real now but yeah, it's been an emotional journey.

"It's because it's so beautiful, our relationship on and off screen. It's just been really emotional thinking about each other, 'Oh, we're never gonna act together again'."

She continued: "I can't say too much but there was a day with Mikey [North] at the end of the day. It was me and Mikey's last scene and I could not stop crying. I've never cried on a film set more, even on the line run it's like a seven-page scene with just me and Mikey, and I was choking up on the line run. It was so hard.

"It was such a hard scene but I'm so excited to see it because it's just a really good scene. It kind of wraps it all up. It's really sad and it was very hard."
