There have been many casualties of Pat Phelan’s criminal rampage through Coronation Street. His murder victims, obviously, and jailed Anna Windass.
But we shouldn’t forget all the people he’s scammed out of money for the development that never happened, not to mention the tension he caused in Sally and Tim’s marriage.
And now he’s driven a wedge between his wife Eileen and her buddy Liz McDonald!
Liz and Eileen have been mates for donkey’s years so when Liz fancies getting away for a weekend, she immediately thinks of Eileen as a travel partner.
She suggests to Pat that his missus might like to join her on a long weekend to Barcelona, but she’s annoyed by his lukewarm response.
Later she makes a few cutting comments about him and Eileen’s upset.

The next day, with tensions still running high between Liz and Eileen, Mrs McD invites her mate for lunch at the Bistro, hoping to make amends for slagging off her hubby.
But as the drinks flow, Liz – once more – can’t control her mouth and she ends up talking about Phelan again.
She warns her old mate that her husband is bad news and says she needs to listen to what everyone’s telling her.
But as we know only too well, Liz is just the latest in a long line of people to criticise Pat – and Eileen’s not listened to any of them.
