Even pulling Sunita from a burning building did not get him brownie points. We never did find out why he objectified women as he did. I would have liked to understand this character more. So good on Kate to show the other side of Phelan...I hope she continues to make him interesting.<br />Another character I missed when he left was TonyNewfy Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943033475080497912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-46861365647449718142017-08-23T12:44:47.196+01:002017-08-23T12:44:47.196+01:00Just been catching up with Monday's episodes (...Just been catching up with Monday's episodes (see, corrie's got so bad I don't even bother to watch "live" any more).

It feels like an awful lot is being squeezed into a short time now, making it very unpleasant to watch as Phelan goes from munching on food in front of his prisoner, to brushing himself off and appearing in Eileen's sitting room all smiles for his new daughter. maggie mugginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-31559698380242288112017-08-22T15:19:24.272+01:002017-08-22T15:19:24.272+01:00Connor McIntyre has done a terrific job with a ver...Connor McIntyre has done a terrific job with a very mixed bag of scripts. Phelan, the character (and not the excellent actor), was a 2-dimensional villain right up until the storyline about Nicola. Am I the only viewer who found smirky Phelan a total bore much like Tracy was with her gurning and grinning? Enter his daughter and only now does he become interesting.
