Coronation Street fans everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when Pat Phelan was taken away in a body bag last year. The villainous builder, who eventually went on a murderous rampage during his stint in Weatherfield, was FINALLY killed by Anna Windass when she stabbed him.

Although he was a villain and ruined the lives of many Corrie residents, there was a slight sadness among viewers when he'd gone - after all, he's the killer we all loved to hate.

And whilst he is definitely dead and gone - remember when he fell off a cliff and survived?! - his reign of terror has had a lasting effect on Weatherfield, and he'll even claim another victim from beyond the grave.

Audrey invites Ken to come and see the new flat on Victoria Street with her. Ken tells her it will be nice to have her living so close again, but Audrey is horrified by the news that a bail hostel is being built nearby.

Die-hard Corrie fans know that Peter Barlow's boat fire has caused serious damage to the factory roof, and that it needs to be replaced - which will lead to the roof's collapse in an upcoming episode and the death of a character.

And in last night's episode, viewers discovered that it's partly Phelan's fault, as Gary Windass explained to Carla Connor, "Phelan did a bodge job. The joists are too short. They’ve been calculated wrong so they’re sitting on makeshift supports."

Well, he did have a lot on his plate - what with hiding the bodies of Michael Rodwell, Vinny Ashford, Andy Carver and Luke Britton.

Sadly for Carla, it's going to cost her a whopping £60,000 to fix - an amount of money that she simply doesn't have, which led her to ask him to fix it as best as he can for a more affordable price.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
