Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre)

[Perdita]

I think the real problem with the Pat Phelan story and why most people are fed up with it is not so much him and what he is doing, though kidnapping Andy and keeping him in a cellar did stretch credulity somewhat, it is to do with the fact that the only way he has been able to get away with what he has is that the police are portrayed as terminally hopeless and stupid. For example, it is just totally unrealistic, as has been mentioned many times, that there was no investigation aimed at establishing whether Anna did actually go into Adam and Todd's office or where Phelan was at the time he was supposedly a witness. And those are just two examples, there were plenty of other "non" investigations. Also, given the number of times she has been warned by so many different people, that Eileen still thinks he's wonderful.

The actor will be missed as he is doing a great job otherwise we would not love to hate him but not the storylines for his character

Speculation is that it will happen in late May when the semi finals of Britain's Got Talent are on as they will then have the 9pm slot free for the episodes deemed more suitable after the watershed ...

Coronation Street films Pat Phelan 'exit scenes' as he clashes angrily with Eileen on holiday

Coronation Street stars Connor McIntyre and Sue Cleaver have officially started filming Pat Phelan's rumoured final scenes.

Last week, it leaked out that Phelan will suffer a deadly fall from a cliff while on holiday with Eileen in a few weeks' time.

While Corrie has yet to confirm or deny the shock storyline rumours, these brand new paparazzi pictures are certainly adding fuel to the fire.

The sneaky shots show Phelan and Eileen arguing on what was supposed to be a romantic break for the two of them.

Sinister Phelan is then seen reaching for a length of rope, but does this mean that he's about to go on the attack once again?

Last week, tabloid reports claimed that Phelan's story is building towards a huge clifftop showdown between him and Eileen.

On-set sources claim that the bodies of Phelan's victims will finally be found during his time away, which prompts Liz McDonald to call Eileen to warn her.

When Eileen confronts her killer husband, it's thought that Phelan will finally come off worse (at last!) – falling to his death from a cliff.

Although we'll have to stay tuned to Corrie to find out whether the rumours are true, show boss Kate Oates has confirmed that Phelan will definitely face his comeuppance later this year, with some huge stunts planned too.

Absolutely, Perdy. It's a real cop out for him to die without facing trial.

They stretched this story so much but give his ending 2 mins with no real justice or accountability!

Absolutely swim, par for the course now in soaplands extended storylines ,never a satisfying conclusion , kill the villain off, over in a flash. Connor McIntyre had his contract extended ,following the property scam the producers then tried to portray Phelan as not totally the bad guy, before the killing spree started. I wonder if the producers in reality have then and as far as I can see now, have nothing else of significance to offer up storyline wise. I guess this is the price to be paid for moving the programme away from it's grass roots and what used to be character strengths.

I will never forgive him for how he mentally tortured Andy before he died. If Steph new that Andy was getting blackmailed and torched the garage etc why did she not come back.

Pretty dumb having Sebs coat right at the door

[swmc66]

Why is Phelan dropping her off all the time? She has her own car!! I understand the emergency run to the hospital.

Probably because he never got in contact .. she waited at the airport for him to join the flight, he did not and she never heard from him again. I presume she thought he no longer wanted to be with her so no point in coming back.
