Pat Phelan - From Villain to Chillin?

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog June 2017, reposted to this blog with permission.)


There are paparazzi pictures in The Sun today showing Pat Phelan being filmed around a church. Now, this could mean anything - or nothing.

But Corrie producer Kate Oates told us at the recent press day that when Phelan's daughter Nicola arrives in Weatherfield, she'll be the light to Phelan's dark.  

Kate told us: "Phelan’s daughter will be the light to his shade. I love him dearly and I can’t stop watching him. We may discover that all is not as it seems to be. Bringing in Phelan's daughter will be the light to his darkness, he doesn’t know she exists. Phelan falls in love with the daughter he didn’t know he had, and wants to be a better man because of it..

And so I wonder if his daughter might be responsible for sending him to confess his sins, perhaps?

Phelan's long lost daughter Nicola Rubenstein turned up on the cobbles last week as Seb Franklin’s case worker. She'll be played by campaigner and top woman Nicola Thorp. You can find out more about her here.
