Yahoo News Corrie films big baby bombshell for Pat Phelan
Coronation Street's Pat Phelan could come to blows with his daughter Nicola Rubinstein over her pregnancy – if these brand-new pictures are anything to go by.
Connor McIntyre, who plays evil Phelan, has been spotted filming tense scenes with Nicola Thorp, as her character confides in his that she's expecting a baby.
We've already revealed how the show's latest baby twist will see Nicola end up pregnant after a one-night stand with Gary Windass, and the fallout is shaping up to be just as dramatic as we predicted.
These sneaky paparazzi pictures show Phelan looking delighted as Nicola reveals she's carrying his grandchild, before the conversation quickly turns sour.
Given that there is no love lost between Gary and Phelan, it's hardly surprising that Nicola's news might leave the builder feeling a little unsettled.
But with Corrie boss Kate Oates also confirming that Nicola will plan to have an abortion, Gary could actually be the least of Phelan's problems.
"There's a really interesting storyline coming up that sees Phelan's daughter Nicola consider having an abortion after finding out that she's pregnant," Oates recently told RadioTimes.com.
"And Phelan is dead against it – for him, it's morally awful. So I find it fascinating that his conscience is this infinitely flexible instrument."
Are Phelan and Nicola arguing about Gary? Or her plans to have an abortion? And more to the point, where does this situation leave Gary's poor girlfriend Sarah? Looks like newcomer Nicola could be the one to watch over the coming weeks...
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
