It won't be long
It's true they're making themselves thoroughly unlikable and deserving of being conned, but I can't bring myself to cheer on the sleazeball that is Phelan. :sick:Quote:

Tony will take the rap fpr Callum i guess
Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver is getting us very worried over her character Eileen Grimshaw in her latest interview.
Blinded by love, Eileen is getting increasingly embroiled in her boyfriend Pat Phelan's property scam - unaware that the much-hyped flats he's offering up will never actually be built.
Phelan (Connor McIntyre) and his partner-in-crime Vinny Ashford (Ian Kelsey) have come up with a cunning plan to fleece the Weatherfield locals out of their cash, but the storyline takes a twist next week when Eileen gets her first clue that something isn't right.
After quitting her job at Streetcars to get much more involved in selling the properties, Eileen gets closer to the business than ever before - and is quickly alarmed to discover that the same flat has been promised to two different people.
Eileen realises this when Vinny tells her that he's met a potential buyer to discuss the much-sought-after lake view apartment, but she knows that Rita Tanner has already signed a contract for the very same property. Oops.
Phelan then has to use all of his charms to win Eileen back around, claiming that it's not what it looks like. A likely story...
Speaking about the drama to come, Sue revealed: "Eileen is worried. Rita has talked to her about one of the flats and so has Vinny. She finds that a bit odd and thinks Rita seems to be being used by Vinny.
"Eileen is furious that one of her friends could be caught up in something not quite right. She is having none of that.
"However, she totally accepts it when Phelan and Vinny say that it's just the way business is done. She is out of her depth, so she has no choice but to believe them."
With hints that Vinny is even more dangerous to cross than Phelan, maybe it's for the best that Eileen allows herself to be fooled so easily...
Asked where it's all heading, Sue replied: "It isn't going to end well, is it? But I believe that there is some way to go with this storyline.
"We should probably fear for Eileen. I get lots of people in the street warning me off! I love working with Connor, so I hope there is lots more to come.
"Eileen is totally in love with Phelan and love is definitely blind in her case. It's her dream come true, because she has never had a man treat her like this before. Phelan is a real man and he makes her feel wanted.
"She is usually the one in control who looks after everyone else and he is now looking out for her. He fights battles for her with people like Sean and Todd and doesn't let them walk all over her. She doesn't know he is doing this out of self-preservation."

Does Phelan care about Eileen?
I just asked the same thing on the episode thread! :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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!Quote:

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 possibilityQuote:

CORONATION Street’s Eileen Grimshaw has been snapped arriving for her wedding day… but scheming Pat Phelan is nowhere in sight.
Eileen (Sue Cleaver) was snapped making her way to the church with a bright red puffer jacket and gold bag.

Eileen Grimshaw turns up for her wedding day
She was followed by son Todd (Bruno Langley) and his boyfriend Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), who will act as a witness to the wedding.
The soap mother could be in for even more heartbreak if Pat ends up jilting her at the alter.
Evil Phelan only proposed to Eileen after she discovered his and Vinny’s plane tickets to Mexico, which he lied about and said were for their honeymoon.
Nasty Phelan had planned to escape to Mexico with the residents’ money
However his idea to jet off with the residents’ money for the housing scam ended up in disaster after his con friend Vinny (Ian Kelsey) conned him and dashed off with the cash himself.
Phelan – who gloated as Michael Rodwell had a heart attack and died in front of him – had to return to Weatherfield to face the music after business partner Vinny ran off with the cash from the flat scam, and now he’s found a way to get his revenge and clear his own name.
After attempting to scam Eileen and other Weatherfield residents for hundreds of thousands of pounds in his building scam, Phelan was scammed himself by Vinny and lost it all.
However, with the police sniffing around, Phelan found a way to get his revenge.
He told the officers that Vinny had scammed him too and run off with the money and hinted that he may well have been responsible for Michael’s death.
Back on the street, Phelan’s previous victim Anna Windass worked out that Phelan must have had something to do with Michael’s death and told a devastated Gail and Eileen.
Eileen had laid into Phelan after finding out (most of the truth), but appears to turn up for her wedding day anyway...

She is stupid when it comes to men.
Stupid police as well apparently!Quote:

Phelan, meanwhile, will be feasting on nectar and taking his place at the top of the pile where he belongs. A very capable man indeed.
Thanks guys. God bless.

I think phelan is more popular than eileen with fans of the soap
Phelan has attained cult status among certain Corrie fans. Most of them aren't serious in their glorification of his crimes, though there's one or two out there who do seem to really admire him... :wall:Quote:
