Evil Pat Phelan gets his comeuppance
it’s been a cracking couple of months in Corrie, so i’m delighted that Street boss Kate oates has given us an exclusive preview of the exciting things in store for my favourite characters, including David, Eva and Phelan, this Spring…
With three murders under his belt – Vinny Ashford, Andy Carver and most recently Luke Britton – along with the rape of Street favourite Anna Windass, Pat Phelan has earned himself the title of Weatherfield’s number one villain.
But the law of soap dictates that all baddies must get their comeuppance, and as we head into Spring,
Phelan’s reign of terror will finally draw to a close.
Corrie bosses don’t want to give too much away about how the dastardly builder will depart the cobbles, but there are a few tantalising teasers that we can reveal. Firstly, the gripping denouement will take place away from Weatherfield in an isolated location. Secondly, Phelan’s wife, Eileen, will have a hand in his demise – quite literally. And thirdly, the action will revolve around a stunt.
‘A character like Pat Phelan was always going to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and the exit we have in store for him will definitely pack a punch,’ promises Corrie producer Kate Oates. ‘Between now and then, there’ll be plenty of twists and turns, as the pressure mounts and Phelan fears his dark secrets will be uncovered.’
