Biography
Rick Neelan is a dangerous loan shark, who first appeared in November 2009 when he bought Joe McIntyre's debts from a development firm and demanded payment. Despite Joe's efforts, Rick kept adding on "interest", adding more stress to Joe. Joe attempted to fake his death for insurance money as a last minute resort, but ended up accidentally killing himself for real on the lake district. Despite Joe's (original) disappearance, Rick attempted to extort money from Joe's wife Gail and his daughter Tina, and even tried to set fire to her and her boyfriend Jason Grimshaw's flat. Rick was later arrested and charged.
