The mystery of Phelan's black eye in Coronation Street

Pic from Radio Times

I can't have been the only Coronation Street fan left wondering why on earth Pat Phelan was sporting a black eye in Corrie this week. It seemed to come and go, too, which was odd. It looked worse when he was in Eileen's kitchen but when he was in Liverpool with Nicola it didn't seem so bad. Perhaps it was the light.

He told Eileen that the black eye was an injury he sustained at work. But then he gave Nicola a completely different tale.

Another thing that had me wondering is that Eileen made a big fuss of Phelan on Monday night going out in a tie. But he was wearing a tie on Friday night, in full view of Eileen, and she never said a word.

What on earth is going on?
