Coronation Street scenes when her father Rick Neelan's body is discovered.The notorious loan shark went missing in 2019, but unknown to the Weatherfield residents, he was murdered by Gary Windass (Mikey North).Rick had terrorised Gary after he failed to pay Rick his money back, with Gary eventually snapping and killing Rick instead.With the discovery of Rick's body, it is now only a matter of time before the truth is exposed.Rick is one of Coronation Street's most famous villains, and away from the soap, actor Gary Wood has led a very interesting life too - from rival soap roles to a romance with a famous actress.Although Greg is best known for playing Rick in Coronation Street, the actor has also had leading roles in other popular rival soaps.His debut TV role was in Channel 4 soap Brookside as drug dealer Terry Gibson in 2002, before going on to star in TV series including Casualty and The A-List.He also starred in one episode of Emmerdale as Nick Callow in 2006.10 years later in 2016, he starred as gangster Trevor Royle in Hollyoaks, who was stabbed to death on his wedding day to Grace Black by teenager Nico Blake.However, Coronation Street viewers remember Greg for his role as loan shark Rick , who terrorised Weatherfield residents including Gary.Between 2009 and 2019, Rick made the lives of characters including Terry Duckworth a misery, before Gary put an end to his reign of terror and killed him.Since then, viewers could not believe how different Greg looked away from the cobbles, with the actor posing for an Instagram photograph showing his long grey hair, beard and round Harry Potter style glasses.He captioned the post "Pottering around… Get it… Get it?? #loveadadjoke."However, the actor was soon spotted outside

The decision to have the awards from eight categories (documentary short, film editing, makeup/hairstyling, original score, production design, animated short, live-action short, and sound) handed out at the beginning of the ceremony, before the event actually went live on television, was met with strong resistance from all corners of the industry.

Jurgen Klopp has no intention of letting Caoimhin Kelleher leave Liverpool - but he admits the Cup hero may go on loan in the future. Kelleher, 23, was the Reds’ Carabao Cup saviour as he scored from the spot in the dramatic penalty shootout win over Chelsea. The Irishman also made some big saves in the 120 minutes to keep the game goalless.

Jurgen Klopp insists talk of Liverpool winning the quadruple is crazy as he played down the Reds’ hopes of landing four trophies this season.The Merseysiders captured the Carabao Cup on Sunday with a dramatic penalty shootout win against Chelsea.Klopp’s men trail Manchester City by six points in the Premier League but have a game in hand and a clash with the defending champions next month.While they have one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they take a 2-0 lead into their last-16 second-leg tie against Inter Milan next week.And on Wednesday night the Reds take on struggling Norwich in the FA Cup fifth round.But Klopp said: “No team in the history of English football ever won the quadruple, right? Because it’s really difficult.“We are not even close to thinking about crazy stuff like that.“We have won the Carabao Cup, we are behind City in the league and now we have Norwich in the FA Cup after 120 minutes on Sunday.“Even Manchester City with all their quality did not win it.“The reality is [that] to win something you have to be focused on the next step and the one after that – that’s what we do.“I don’t see it as a compliment [if people think they can] but it’s better people think we can do good things rather than be useless.“I don’t need this kind of compliment – we are close to nothing at the moment.“We face a lot of good teams between now and the end of May.

Liverpool stars in his best ever team-mates XI and even had room to squeeze in Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer.The three-time Premier League winner, 36, has enjoyed a decorated career playing for some of the biggest clubs in England.And despite the world-class talent in Milner's XI, there are still some high-profile omissions - neither Mohamed Salah nor Sadio Mane appear in his star-studded side.But Liverpool selections did feature heavily in the Englishman's 11 with current team-mates Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk all making the cut.Partnering the Dutch defender at centre-back is Jonathan Woodgate, a Leeds United team-mate of Milner's who he describes as a "superstar.""Woody was exceptional at Leeds and so unlucky with injuries, but before that we all thought he was a superstar," Milner told Four Four Two."Put it this way: I’m leaving both Rio Ferdinand and Vincent Kompany out of my side, which shows just how much I thought of him.” Popping up at left-back is Chelsea and England ace Ashley Cole who Milner described as the "fittest footballer around" - high praise indeed from a 36-year-old Premier League regular.Sitting on the fence in the age-old Steven Gerrard vs Frank Lampard debate, the Liverpool midfielder has named both in his best XI.Though he did note the current Aston Villa boss as "the best all-round footballer I’ve ever played with."HAVE YOUR SAY! Should James Milner have included Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane? Let us know in the comments section.Completing the midfield in his preferred 4-3-3 formation is Manchester City legend David Silva, with whom Milner won his maiden Premier League title in 2012.The silky Spaniard was praised for possessing the ability to "decide a game on

Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk's brilliant stare down at Kepa Arrizabalaga during Sunday's Carabao Cup final.The Reds triumphed 11-10 on penalties at Wembley following a pulsating goalless draw to win their first domestic cup since they won the same competition in 2012.Chelsea had substituted Kepa on specifically for the penalty shootout as he replaced Edouard Mendy from the bench during the closing moments of extra-time.However, the gamble failed to pay off as Kepa conceded all 11 penalties he faced including van Dijk's clinical spot-kick, which was followed by a brutal stare down at his rival.As the Dutch defender lined up to take Liverpool's third penalty in the shootout, Kepa shifted to the right-hand side of his goal in an attempt to put off his opponent.Kepa shifted back towards the centre of the goal as van Dijk began his run-up and was unable to stop his powerful penalty.Despite diving the right way, Kepa was helpless to stop the fierce strike as van Dijk called his bluff and found the top corner on the same side Kepa had previously stood.Following the penalty, van Dijk could be seen staring down the Chelsea keeper before he turned and jogged back to his team-mates in the centre circle.Was Virgil van Dijk's penalty the best in the shootout? Let us know in the comments section below.Fans and pundits alike loved the ice cold nature of his penalty and reaction, taking to social media afterwards to share their reactions.Writing on Twitter, Gary Lineker responded by saying: "This is definitely in my top 10 favourite penalties."One fan added: “I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this.

Liverpool midfielder James Milner would have toasted an ice-cold Ribena in celebration of the Reds' League Cup triumph over Chelsea.Jurgen Klopp’s side won the competition for the first time in ten years, after overcoming the reigning Champions League holders in a penalty shoot-out. But while Liverpool shot-stopper Caoimhin Kelleher was the hero of the evening for the Reds, supporters reserved a special mention for Milner.The former Manchester City and Newcastle United ace, who has a dedicated parody Twitter account called ‘Boring James Milner’ dedicated to him, showed excellent leadership throughout the contest.And Liverpool fans particularly loved the way in which he pulled Harvey Elliott away from a mass pushing and shoving contest between the two sides.

Liverpool have reportedly warned Kostas Tsimikas of his responsibilities after footage appeared to show him spitting gum into the stands as Jurgen Klopp's side collected the Carabao Cup trophy. Tsimikas, 25, was an unused substitute as the Reds overcame Chelsea 11-10 in a marathon penalty shootout to win the season's first silverware.

Jamie Redknapp “didn’t like” Kepa Arrizabalaga’s behaviour in goal during Chelsea’s penalty shoot-out defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.The 27-year-old shot-stopper was brought on as a penalty shootout specialist after the two rival clubs failed to score a goal over 120 minutes.But the Spaniard had a disastrous time after replacing the spectacular Edouard Mendy, failing to make a single save out of 11 spot-kick attempts while missing his own effort to give the Reds their ninth League Cup trophy.And Sky Sports pundit Redknapp slammed the goalkeeper’s antics after he attempted to put off Liverpool players with various mind-games but to no avail.Redknapp said: "I didn’t like his behaviour when the penalties were being taken and then he took one of the worst penalties you’ve ever seen.“I don’t like it, I don’t understand why you do it.

Liverpool came out on top in a dramatic penalty shootout to edge past Chelsea at Wembley to clinch Carabao Cup glory.Both sides were indebted to their goalkeepers in an action-packed first half, with Caoimhin Kelleher thwarting Christian Pulisic early on before Edouard Mendy pulled off a spectacular double-save to keep Chelsea on level terms.Mohamed Salah spurned a golden chance after the break before Joel Matip saw a header chalked off by VAR.Kai Havertz had two goals ruled out for offside along with Lukaku, who was denied once, before the lottery of penalties ensued.In a dramatic shootout, it was Kepa Arrizabalaga who missed the decisive penalty after all 20 outfield players succeeded from the spot to hand Jurgen Klopp his first League Cup.Daily Star Sport highlights six things you might have missed from an enthralling finale at Wembley...The Reds arrived at Wembley on the verge of creating history - and they got the job done to clinch a record-breaking ninth League Cup triumph.They made hard work of it though.Chelsea had numerous chances to snatch the initiative before the game went to spot-kicks.And Kepa's late miss ensured the Reds etched their name into the history books at Wembley in the most dramatic of fashions.Do you think Liverpool deserved to lift the Carabao Cup? Comment below.The Blues may have had the shorter trip for Sunday's final at Wembley, but their recent record under the arch has been a rotten one.Chelsea had lost their last four domestic finals before their showdown with the Reds.And unfortunately for Thomas Tuchel's men, it was more capital punishment for the Blues when it was all said and done.The decision to send penalty specialist Kepa on backfired to leave the Londoners glum again after a trip

Liverpool's star midfielder Thiago was spotted in tears ahead of the Carabao Cup final on Sunday afternoon.Thiago had been named among Jurgen Klopp's starting eleven to face Chelsea, with the first silverware of the season up for grabs at Wembley.However, after picking up an injury in the warm-up, Thiago was replaced by Naby Keita in the starting side.And after the national anthem, Sky Sports cameras picked up a heartbroken Thiago, in tears, being comforted by Alisson.The Brazilian had his arm around Thiago, who could barely contain his emotions of the disappointment of missing out on the showpiece.Liverpool didn't expand on the injury, only announcing that he would not be able to play in the clash.The Reds tweeted: "Thiago has got injured during the warm-up.

Jurgen Klopp has revealed why he will not be wearing a suit for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final clash against Chelsea.The Liverpool manager dressed up for his two previous cup finals at Wembley Stadium, but will not be swapping his usual tracksuit and cap combo for a suit this time around.Klopp’s first Wembley final was the 2-1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich back in 2013 with Dortmund, while his second appearance ended in a Carabao Cup penalty shootout defeat to Manchester City in 2016.But the German insists the two devastating losses are not the reason behind his change in approach on Sunday.Klopp told the Liverpool Echo: "I am not overly superstitious. I will not wear a suit but not because I am superstitious."I am pretty sure that someone told me before the League Cup final that I needed to wear a suit."With the Champions League in 2013, honestly, it is really silly but someone told me that it was expected to wear a suit on the touchline and then when I saw the first coach next to me without a suit I thought ‘are you kidding me?!!!’ “That was the moment I stopped it.”Would you wear a tracksuit for a cup final? Let us know in the comments section.He added: "No, I will not wear a suit for a football game unless it is a rule.

Luis Diaz has been wowing fans ever since he made his £37.5 million switch from Porto last month and was at it again during Liverpool training this week.The Colombian was spotted executing a mid-air 'rainbow flick', which supporters on social media rightly labelled "pure tekkerz".Diaz plucked the ball effortlessly out of the sky before sweeping it up over his head from behind, catching it, and knocking it back to his partner in one smooth motion."I literally can't stop watching this," wrote one Liverpool fan on Twitter."This man just rainbow flicked a ball out of the air.

Jurgen Klopp couldn’t even bear to talk about transfers at the end of last season.The Liverpool boss went on holiday in May and didn’t even look at his phone.He was completely drained by a campaign like no other.The Reds had surrendered their Premier League title, lost their central defence to injuries but somehow rallied to finish third in the table to reach the Champions League.It had all been played with the backdrop of Covid-19 restrictions which meant no fans and no real life for Klopp or his players.While he also had to miss the funeral of his mother Elisabeth due to travel restrictions at the time.Liverpool had their ‘wings clipped’ but they still managed to salvage something from an annus horribilis and are now going for four trophies - starting with the Carabao Cup on Sunday.“It was an incredibly intense season and, yes, I was more than happy for a holiday,” he said. “For the first ten days, I didn’t take one time the phone out or whatever and ask could we have this player?“I couldn’t have cared less at that moment, just get through it and that is absolutely true.“Why shouldn’t managers be different? But for all of us it was the same.

Liverpool are weighing up a potential move for Lautaro Martinez with Jurgen Klopp reportedly 'interested' in the Inter Milan star. The Nerazzurri forward, 24, formed a key part of their title-winning side last campaign as Inter romped to a first Scudetto since 2010.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed the significance of his side's 6-0 win over Leeds on Wednesday that cut the gap to Manchester City to just three points in the Premier League.

Liverpool have now been awarded more penalties than any other side in Premier League history following their 6-0 win over Marcelo Bielsa's struggling Leeds United.Manchester United were the previous record-holders, having been given 169 spot-kicks since 1992.But Jurgen Klopp's side have managed to knock them off their perch after being awarded penalty number 170 and 171 at Anfield on Wednesday night.Both efforts were successfully converted by Mohamad Salah - who brought his Premier League goal tally to 17 for the season - while goals from Joel Matip, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk completed the rout for the rampant Reds, who are now just three points behind league leaders Manchester City.Rival fans flooded to social media in a rage as some accused Liverpool of cheating their way to the record."Liverpool have literally dived their way to this record. Unbelievable," wrote one fan."How is it that Liverpool have only been Prem champs once but have won the most pens?? Doesn't make sense," another posted."Why am I not surprised," a third said.However, some saw things a little differently.Do Liverpool get awarded an unfair amount of penalties? Let us know what you reckon in the comments section..."The more intense in attacks a team is, the more they are likely to get penalties awarded.
