EILEEN DESTROYS PHELAN?
The end is nigh for the cold-blooded murderer…
Time is officially running out for cobbles killer Pat Phelan – and it could be his own wife who finally brings him down!
Corrie producer Kate
Oates has confirmed that the Weatherfield villain will get his comeuppance later this year, and that his nearest and dearest will be the ones who see justice served…
“2018 is going to see the demise of Phelan,” teases Kate. “Connor [Mcintyre] is so up for this challenge. He’s so excited about it and he’s playing it brilliantly.
“What I like about Phelan’s downfall is that it’s very much to do with Eileen,” she adds. “It’s to do with her realising who she’s married. It’s to do with Nicola and that child. You’ve got the high drama balanced out with the emotional family domestic drama, which is when
I think Corrie is at its best.”
Phelan has several deaths on his conscience already
– but could there be more bloodshed before the builder pays for his crimes? According to Street favourite Mikey
North, who plays Phelan’s arch-nemesis Gary Windass, there’s still a lot of drama to come before the storyline reaches its conclusion.
“I know that this is the beginning of the end, but we’ve still got a few more months to run on it yet,” said the actor recently.
“I’m not sure it’s set in stone how Phelan’s demise is going to happen. But the viewing figures are great, and it’s got people talking about it, hasn’t it?”
