Coronation Street star Mikey North has revealed that Millie Gibson's upcoming exit from the show will be "emotional".
In scenes airing next week, Kelly's life will be left in the balance as she is held at gunpoint on a rooftop by the men she hired to kill North's character Gary, having learned that he was responsible for murdering her dad.
At the last moment Gary appears and pleads with the men to murder him instead - and soon after, a shot rings out.
"When she's in danger... when they're up on the roof - he will happily go off that roof for that girl. He really will; he genuinely would jump off if it meant saving her," North told reporters last week.
"There's a lot of emotional stuff in there, and it's sort of got a bit of everything for me, personally, you know.
"There's a lot of stunts in there which I always enjoy doing. It's a little bit of fighting. There's a little bit of angry, but there's also a lot of sad, it's sort of showing every side to all of the characters, really."
He continued: "This block of episodes has been the best block that I've ever been involved with in 15 years here. The collaboration of all the departments coming together to really want to make this work.
"And obviously we're using new technology, it needed everyone to really pull together, and they really have. The director, Dave Beauchamp, has been incredible.
"It's been such a collaborative effort for everyone. Everyone's been involved, and I can't speak highly enough of him, and how this block's gone."
Coronation Street airs next week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV.
