Tonight saw the beginning of the end for Coronation Street’s notorious villain.
Pat (played by Connor McIntyre) was confronted by Tim (Joe Duttine) this evening, who eventually dragged the truth out of him.
Enticing him into his car, Tim managed to send Pat into a tirade about what he has done wrong.
However he only divulged details about some of his crimes, leaving out the details of his murders.

Unbeknownst to Pat, Tim was was secretly transmitting the entire conversation to his wife, Eileen (Sue Cleaver), finally revealing what sort of person he is.
While Tim’s intelligent swindle was devious enough to pull the wool over Pat’s eyes this evening, fans were not exactly convinced by him falling for the simple plan.
Dedicated fans argued if Pat was smart enough to see through Anna Windass’ (Debbie Rush) ploy to record him, why didn’t he spot Tim’s plan?
Angry viewers flocked to Twitter to express their concern, with one saying: “Phelan is smart enough to sense a recording device with Anna but not with Tim? #Corrie #CoronationStreet.”
