Killer Phelan buried alive?
The twisted builder gets trapped in unset concrete as he desperately tries to hide Vinny and Andy’s bodies…
Phelan is losing control, but his answer to that is to take
control
Is this the week that evil builder Pat Phelan finally gets his comeuppance? It certainly looks that way when he falls into some unset concrete as he’s trying to hide Vinny and Andy’s bodies.
The scheming Scouser is trying to cover his tracks at the time. Earlier, he arrives at the mill site to find that work is well underway on draining the lake – where Andy and Vinny are currently making friends with the fishes after he dumped their bodies there. As the day draws to a close, he’s horrified to see one of the bodies emerging from the water.
Fearing his dark secret will be exposed, Phelan hangs around as his oblivious colleagues head home. He then puts on some waders and drags both bodies out. Let’s hope we don’t get any close-ups – they’ve been in there for four months.
‘Phelan is losing control, but his answer to that is to take control,’ says Connor Mcintyre, who plays the murdering psychopath. ‘He thinks very clearly about his actions – “Okay, I do X, I do Y, I do Z.” Does he think it’s game over? Never in a million years!’
With a concrete mixer and a half-built development at his disposal, he quickly comes up with an idea. He drops the bodies of Andy and Vinny into the column mould in the mill foundations, then turns on the concrete. Only things don’t quite go to plan...
Back on the cobbles, Liz has thrown a ‘Getting to know Pat’ party, in an attempt to build bridges with her best mate’s fella. Sounds like a hoot. What’s on the playlist – Dead or Alive? When the main man is a no-show, Eileen calls him up. But Phelan has left his phone on some scaffolding, and, as it buzzes, the vibration causes it to fall off into the foundations. As Phelan tries to retrieve it, he, too, tumbles into the unset concrete.
The twisted killer desperately tries to pull himself out, but when the scaffolding falls on him, he becomes trapped and loses consciousness.
Over at the party, Eileen frets about her AWOL husband, prompting Tim to offer to drive her over to the mill to see if he’s still there. But will the pair reach Pat in time, or will he be buried alive?
