Wheres Eileens moral compass! Thrown away down the canal i think

I think.its all just a ploy to engineer more
arguments between Eileen & Gail as they
are popular viewing.

I agree about moral.compass but don't
think they are used much in soaps or
storylines would dry up!!

I prefer Gail over Eileen any day. Maybe because she has been part of Corrie for years.

I prefer Gail over Eileen any day.

I prefer Gail too, although the feeble, simpering manner she's developed in the past few years can be quite annoying. At least she's not a stroppy b*tch with a huge ego like Eileen. They both have the saving grace of being funny when required though.

Eileen is my favourite-always has been Gail and her turtlenecks+whimpering voice are just too much for me..

Coronation Street's Eileen Grimshaw is left with a major decision to make next week - is she on Team Phelan or Team Anna?

Eileen is considering a new romance with Phelan (Connor McIntyre) when Anna desperately tries to warn her off from the sleazy builder, explaining that he's bad news.

On the rebound after splitting from Michael Rodwell, Eileen enjoys every second of Phelan's flattery and refuses to believe that he could have a sinister side.

Anna tells the cab office favourite that Phelan blackmailed her into having sex with him two years ago. Unfortunately, Eileen is sceptical as scheming Phelan has already fed her a pack of lies about how they actually had an affair.

So how could Eileen believe the Street's villain? Sue Cleaver, who plays her, explained: "He's given her no reason not to. Everything he's told her about his past seems completely legit and he's been nothing but a gentleman to her, so she believes everything he says to her. Why wouldn't she?

"His version of events makes perfect sense to her. He's very plausible so she believes him. One minute Anna says Phelan raped her, the next minute she says she slept with him so that he wouldn't tell on her. So Eileen thinks 'make up your mind' and she doesn't believe her at all."

Eileen even brushes off Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) when she gets involved in the situation too, urging her to believe that Anna is telling the truth.

"Izzy's bound to come and warn her off because of her relationship with Anna, so Eileen's just not buying it," Cleaver commented.

With the tension mounting and gossip about Anna and Phelan's supposed 'affair' starting to spread around the Street, Anna will finally bite the bullet and tell her new love interest Kevin Webster the whole story of what happened two years ago.

Anna's brave decision to reveal all could lead to a whole new start for her and Kevin, but we're not expecting a similar happy ending for stubborn Eileen. Her romance with Phelan is bound to end in tears when his true colours are inevitably exposed.

Cleaver added: "She'll be devastated and mortified, because Eileen's always been a pretty good judge of character. She's always known if something's not right, but this time she's been completely taken in."

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week on ITV.
