Coronation Street fan favourite revealed as Pat Phelan’s next victim

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Looks like the murdering isn't ending any time soon on the cobbles, as it has emerged that one of Coronation Street’s most prominent characters will reportedly be the next victim of Corrie killer Pat Phelan. Michelle Connor, played by Kym Marsh, is reportedly set to become the serial killer's fifth victim on the cobbles after Phelan crashes her wedding. And the scenes are said to be so dramatic - and gruesome - that they will be aired after the watershed. A source told The Sun:

“The scenes were shot last week and are more like a horror film than a soap. “Phelan will come back to Weatherfield and crash Michelle and Robert’s wedding day. In all the carnage, she will end up being shot with ­Robert trying desperately to save her life before she bleeds out. “Inevitably, the other guests will be involved in the madness too in the ­aftermath of him ­shooting her. “The scenes are so gruesome ITV bosses have decided to play them after 9pm so they don’t fall foul of any rules.”

There could possibly be a few more victims before the baddie meets his end, according to Connor McIntyre, the actor who plays Phelan at least. In an interview with Metro, Connor said:

"Let’s just say this – he soon comes to the conclusion that he has got very little left to lose. Bearing in mind his mindset – it’s true to say that everybody, even the people you wouldn’t expect, need to watch out."

The horror, the horror.
