Pics: Corrie fans in Whitehaven meet Pat and Eileen Phelan


Earlier this week we reported that Coronation Street were filming on location in Whitehaven.

You can read more on that here.

 And now we know for sure what it is they're recording there - it's Pat Phelan and Eileen's storyline. Could it signal the end of Phelan? Let's hope so!

Anyway, while they're filming there, the actors who play Pat and Eileen (Connor McIntyre and Sue Cleaver) have been meeting fans and having their photographs taken with fans too. It's really lovely and there are some great pictures. Crowds have been gathereing to watch filming take place.

Will Tillotson, who allowed the crew to film on his boat on Tuesday, said "everyone was very friendly".

"It's a long time since I've been on a film or TV set. I did extra work 30 years ago but it was just a bit of fun and some easy money," he said. It reminds you how much standing around there is and the amount of time it takes to film a short period of TV. Everyone there is needed and it's a very positive atmosphere."

The episodes are expected to air at the end of March.

An ITV spokesman said: "Whitehaven proved to be perfect for what the director required and everyone was hugely helpful in making the planning and organisation of filming run smoothly."

Have a look at some of the pictures here.
