Yes, that's the plan according to what Phelan told Todd. It sounds like he fully intends to carry on living on the street with Eileen after the scam has run its course and Vinny has gone.

What I'm wondering is if Kate Oates sees Phelan as a long term character? I think when Stuart Blackburn brought him back the intention was for another short-term storyline with him as a panto villain, but the tone has definitely changed recently and it appears to me he's being softened. I don't know if I'm reading too much into some of the things he's said (such as loving Eileen) or not. :searchme:

I would like him to stay but not with Eileen. Can Eileen be on her own for a while I cannot stand it when she has a man she is so smug.

That's so true!

we know she is blind when it comes to men especially pat phelan but is she losing her hearing?

She wouldn't have a brain tumour or anything?

That could be used to redeem her, get her sympathy and make her liked again so is a possibility

Or makes Phelan rethink his actions

She probably just needs her ears syringed.

I bet they change it to something that could be serious
