Coronation Street spoilers: Major bombshell as character’s REAL name is revealed
CORONATION STREET bosses dropped yet another bombshell on fans tonight as they revealed what one major character’s actual name was.
The Pat Phelan kidnap plot took another explosive turn in tonight's Corrie
Coronation Street: Phelan finds out Vinny's real name
As Vinny Ashford (played by Ian Kelsey) came face-to-face with his former business partner Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) after he Facetimed his mother Flora to wish her a happy birthday, both his mum and Pat called the dodgy builder Harvey and not Vinny; which is what fans of the ITV show have known him as up until now.
Vinny/Harvey hadn’t been seen since he cheated some of the Weatherfield residents out of swindles of cash, so he was unsurprisingly shocked when Pat popped up on the screen to say hello after befriending his mum at her nursing home.
The kidnap plot also took yet another explosive turn this evening as Pat could be seen loading a gun at the end of the latest instalment.

Tonight's Corrie was as eventful as ever
It’s been suggested that the villain could be going after Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) next, after the young journalist made it his mission to uncover his deepest and darkest secrets.
Fans immediately took to Twitter to express their shock over the whole thing, with one person screaming: “Daniel's going to get what's good for him, just beware of #patphelan.”
“Reckon there’s a twist and he holds both Andy and Daniel hostage!” a second suggested, while a third moaned: “Sorry but I will boycott #coronationstreet if Pat gets Daniel locked in the basement of that house. I love Daniel!”

Yet another added: “#coronationstreet Quite looking forward to Daniel getting chucked in the basement…”
“Where will it all end? He's got to be soap villain of the year……” a further social networker shared, as one commented: “Vinny/Adam/Daniel/That Lydia Woman. He's gonna need a bigger cellar!”
