The latest soap news Corrie’s Michelle shot? Eastenders’ Dot stays!
Will she become Phelan’s next victim?
In what could be the most shocking rumour to emerge from the cobbles this year, we hear that killer Phelan will crash Robert and Michelle’s wedding – and gun down the bride!
The Street super-villain is presumed dead following his cliff-top showdown with wife Eileen, while viewers know that he is alive and in hiding as he plots his next move. Meanwhile, Michelle and Robert are planning to tie the knot – but is their fairy-tale big day doomed to end in bloodshed?
“Phelan will return to Weatherfield just in time to crash Michelle and Robert’s nuptials,” reports a tabloid newspaper. “In all the carnage, she will end up being shot, with Robert desperately trying to save her life before she bleeds out. Inevitably, the other guests will be involved in the madness when he shoots her.”
The gossip comes after Corrie star Connor Mcintyre, who plays the builder, hinted that Phelan’s next victim would be someone whom we might not expect – and Michelle certainly fits the bill, having had very little to do with the madman compared with others who’ve crossed him. So what on earth would prompt Phelan to pull the trigger on Michelle? Could it be that she is simply caught in the crossfire as he takes his final revenge? A show spokesperson has stressed to
Inside Soap that they never comment on storyline speculation, so viewers will need to tune in to find out if the reports are true. However, word on the street is that the explosive scenes will play out in a postwatershed 9pm time slot, which the soap has occupied in the past following the Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals.
Previous storylines to have aired in that particular week – usually at the end of May – include the Underworld siege when Tony Gordon took Carla hostage, the Victoria Court fire caused by Tracy, and Bethany’s horrific grooming ordeal.
So, if these rumours turn out to be true and Phelan’s revenge really is as blockbuster as some of the plots detailed above, it’s certainly going to be a week of Coronation Street that you’re not going to want to miss…
