The net is closing in on killer Pat Phelan in Coronation Street as the villainous builder found himself caught by his wife Eileen over the Calcutta flats scam. As he boasted to Tim Metcalfe over what he did, Tim turned on the radio so that the confession was played out to Eileen in the cab office.
Unable to lie his way out of this one, Phelan was bang to rights – and even offered to attend the police station and hand himself in. But fearing that this would bring further trouble to her missing son Todd Grimshaw, Eileen wavered.
While she remained angry at her deceitful other half, Eileen decided not to drop Phelan in it on the understanding that he was not keeping anything else from her. She asked him several times to promise he wasn’t holding back any more secrets – and he even promised on the life of his unborn grandson.
Viewers are now worried that this is a grim sign of things to come – will this promise come back and bite Phelan in the worst way? We know that very soon Eileen will learn the truth – leading to a blazing showdown that could trigger death for Phelan.
But could tragedy be heading to pregnant Nicola Rubinstein’s door too?
It remains to be seen where the couple go from here but as they make plans to depart the Street for good, time is running out for Phelan. And with Eileen’s trust well and truly broken, it can only be a matter of time before she discovers what else he has done.
