Phelan’s nightmare week

LIVES ARE ON THE LINE AS THE ANDY HOSTAGE DRAMA REACHES ITS STUNNING CLIMAX…

- Laura-jayne Tyler

The stars are aligned for a jaw-dropping set of episodes in Coronation Street, as the show prepares to screen its most shocking Phelan action to date.

Viewers know that the Weatherfie­ld super-villain is tooled up with a gun and on the hunt for a new hostage to replace poor hapless Andy. So who has he selected to be his next victim – and will they live to tell the tale?

As we run through the potential candidates, trust us when we say that this is one hell of a week you’re not going to want to miss…

VINNY

Phelan’s backstabbi­ng business partner is the most likely target of his ruthless vengeance, seeing as he doublecros­sed

Pat and ran off with the money from their property scam. But Vinny isn’t the sort of man you’d take captive easily. Is that why Phelan has a gun?

DANIEL

The wannabe reporter came excruciati­ngly close to tracking down Vinny and stumbling across Andy’s Cellar of Doom – so Phelan will be desperate to make sure his secrets stay buried. Might he be looking at Daniel as a fitting replacemen­t to fill the Andy-shaped hole in his undergroun­d dungeon?

ANNA

She’s been a reliable thorn in Phelan’s side since he set up home on the cobbles, and Pat has made it clear to Anna that his patience with her is wearing thin. It’s no secret that actress Debbie Rush is leaving the Street, so it’s fair to assume that Anna is on a collision course with the man she despises most in this world…

GARY

Anna’s son isn’t on Phelan’s Christmas card list, either. However, with the added knowledge that Gary is the father of Nicola’s unborn child, Pat is ruthless enough to make sure they never get to play happy families…

EILEEN

She’s the one person in his life whom Phelan can truly trust, but there’s absolutely no way Eileen would agree to cover up her husband’s wicked crimes if she knew the horrible truth. Would the dastardly fella really go so far as to chain up his wife in a cellar? We’re not ruling out anything at this stage…

Would Phelan go so far as to chain up his wife in a cellar?
