Horror for Nicola & Eileen!
PHELAN’S DAUGHTER IS FORCED TO HAVE HER BABY EARLY – BUT WILL MOTHER AND CHILD SURVIVE?
This is the shocking moment when pregnant Nicola’s comatose body is discovered at the bottom of the stairs at No 11 – after Eileen’s stalker strikes again!
For a number of weeks, Phelan’s traumatised wife has been the target of a vicious hate campaign that has included silent phone calls and criminal damage to her property. However, the perpetrator ups the ante this week by sneaking into Eileen’s home to spook her – as viewers finally learn the culprit’s identity.
“In a horrifying twist, pregnant Nicola is caught in the crossfire when she hears a suspicious noise inside the house – which causes her to take a terrifying tumble,” reports our Weatherfield insider. “She is knocked out cold and bleeding, and her unborn baby is in danger too.
Both of their lives are on the line.”
PHELAN RETURNS?
The tense drama unfolds after another nightmare week for Eileen, who is continuing to receive prank calls – and even returns home one afternoon to find two strange men carrying away her furniture.
The fellas explain that someone called Pat booked them to clear out the house and gave them a key, which of course chills Eileen to the core. Then she realises that her stalker is targeting Streetcars as well, after the minicab firm falls victim to a hoax fare.
However, both incidents pale in comparison with the moment terrified Eileen later answers her mobile phone – to the sound of evil Phelan’s voice at the other end!
“Eileen’s blood runs cold, as she is convinced she sent her murdering husband to a watery grave,” explains our mole. “Following weeks of believing him to be dead, she is finally forced to question whether Phelan could actually still be alive and out to get her.”
STALKER REVEALED!
After discovering his shaken pal, Steve calls the police – and Eileen tells them that her dead hubby appears to have made contact! The suggestion is put to her that Phelan’s voice could have been lifted from a previous voicemail message, which leaves Eileen horrified to think someone would go so far. But who is responsible?
Eileen’s prime suspect is Alya, whom she accuses of making the nuisance calls. However, as she receives more abuse – and later discovers a brick has been thrown through her window – it seems that her tormentor isn’t finished yet.
Elsewhere, we witness someone hiding in the ginnel, fresh from having committed their latest hateful act – and at last learn the stalker’s identity.
“When viewers find out who it is, the motive behind that
person’s behaviour will quickly become clear,” reckons our snoop. “We’ll then go on a journey with that character and be privy to what happens next – just as the situation spirals rapidly out of control.”
THE FALL GIRL
The police insist to Eileen that the guilty party can’t possibly be ‘dead’ Phelan, and they’re doing everything they can to trace the rotter responsible.
Meanwhile, Nicola is home alone when she hears a noise upstairs, causing her to stumble and fall down the steps. Having heard the commotion, Fiz rushes round from next door to find Nicola unresponsive – and it’s not long before they are joined by Eileen and Seb.
Thankfully, the mum-to-be regains consciousness, but complains of stomach pains upon arriving at Weatherfield General – where the doctors deem her condition so serious that they hurry her into theatre for an emergency caesarean.
As Eileen holds Nicola’s hand throughout the procedure, will mother and baby survive?
