Coronation Street: Major character BURIED ALIVE in terrifying scenes

When Bethany shows Gary a picture she took on her phone of Rick on the street looking for them, Gary's thoughts immediately turn to Sarah. With Sarah away on business, Gary goes to track her down to keep her safe.

But Sarah lied to Bethany and Gary and is actually at a nearby hotel with Adam, spending some quality time together. When Gary tracks her wherabouts to the nearby hotel, he thinks it's proof that Rick has her.

Meanwhile, Adam mocks Gary which makes Sarah angry, storming out of the hotel. When Gary arrives and asks the hotel staff if they've seen her, they say she left, being followed by a tall man.

It's all the proof Gary needs. Texting Rick to say he knows he's got Sarah, Rick sees an opportunity and tells Gary to meet at a secluded woodland space, alone – if he ever wants to see Sarah alive again.

Arriving at the remote location, Gary grows concerned when he's confronted by a shallow grave, and no sign of Sarah.

Before he can react, Rick attacks him with a spade, pushing him to the floor. Will Gary be able to protect himself against a much bigger – and better prepared – angry Rick Neelan?
