Yahoo News Corrie's Phelan tries to frame Seb for two murders
Coronation Street's Pat Phelan lines up a fall guy in the New Year, hoping to cover his tracks if Andy Carver and Vinny Ashford's murders are exposed.
Phelan managed to get rid of Andy and Vinny in a disturbing double death twist in October, but he needs a new plan next month when he realises their bodies could be found.
The Weatherfield villain feels betrayed by his young protégé Seb Franklin when he finds out that the teen has accepted a job working with Gary Windass on a building project.
Things only get worse for Phelan when he discovers that the mill conversion Gary is working on is the same spot where he disposed of Andy and Vinny.
When Phelan later sits down for a drink with Seb, he plies his new target with whisky and then shows him his gun.
An impressed Seb picks up the weapon and admires it, blissfully unaware that Phelan is trying to get his fingerprints all over it.
Phelan couldn't be more pleased with himself when Seb hands the gun back, but has he done enough to throw the police off the scent if Andy and Vinny are ever found?
Connor McIntyre, who plays Phelan, revealed: "If there is going to be a development on the mill site, there is a good chance that the bodies are going to be discovered, so it's all hands to the pump.
"Phelan really has to think of a way to manage this scenario. He is nervous, so he goes into that problem solving place in his head. It's a very dangerous time for him, which means it's a very dangerous time for everyone else.
"There's no specific plan, but if everything comes on top, the murder weapon says Seb fired this gun. For Phelan, Seb has gone over to the other side, the trust has gone now. Now Seb is just another component that has to be managed, young boy or not."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
