Coronation Street nice guy Phill Whittaker is hiding a huge secret from girlfriend Fiz Stape. Is it dark and dangerous? Is Phill really all he’s cracked up to be?
After Fiz was left broken by Tyrone leaving her for Alina, Phill swept in and felt safe and warm and stable.
Phill might appear to be a perfect family man, but fans haven’t been too sure for a long time.
And now it’s clear he is hiding something with Phill’s big secret set to be revealed next week.
What is he hiding? The top 5 theories on Phill Whittaker right here.

Some fans are convinced Phill is either already married with kids or potentially has another girlfriend.
Tyrone did previously suspect Phill had another woman on the go, it was soon proven to be completely innocent.
Could Phill have a wife already, though? Fans think so.
Phill probably already got a wife and kids #Corrie

2. He’s a con man
Another popular theory is that Phill is a conman.
Fans are sure he’s “going to take Fiz for a ride”.

3. Phill is another Stape
In 2019, viewers were introduced to Jade Rowan, Hope Stape’s home tutor.
Jade turned out to Hope’s older half-sister, the oldest daughter of John Stape.
Now fans suspect Phill could also be a secret Stape, maybe John’s brother!

4. He’s a serial killer
Another theory which is worth noting is that Phill could be a criminal
Although there is no evidence, it is a soap and anything is possible in Soapland!
Does Fiz have a killer type?!

5. He’s going to sell her story
When Fiz confessed she hadn’t been honest about her past and her husband was serial killer John Stape, Phill said he already knew.
Of course he did – she kept his surname and is living on the same street.
But it begs the question, if Phill already knew, why didn’t he say anything?
Is he thinking of selling her story?
Phill trying to sell a story to the gazette maybe #Corrie

Phill is not to be trusted any further, Fizz. He’s probably selling her story #Corrie
