Coronation Street spoiler: Villain Phelan’s scam ‘set to be exposed’, while Ken Barlow’s missing son is caught reading to him in hospital

THE mystery surrounding Coronation Street con-man Pat Phelan grows on the cobbles tonight, as he finally attempts to convince Eileen of his innocence.

Michael Rodwell has been digging into the scheming character, and is convinced Phelan and Vinny's property development is bogus after hearing them discussing Mexico over the phone.

After visiting the property site, he tells Eileen it's deserted, before relaying the phone conversation he overheard.

Confronted by Eileen, Phelan attempts to explain himself, unaware the entire time that Faye Windass has taken his phone after being dared by her boyfriend Seb.

However, Eileen is temporarily distracted as she catches Tim eavesdropping, and Phelan manages to slip out.

Reaching breaking point in the Rovers later, Michael confronts Phelan and tells him to show Eileen what's in his rucksack.

Will Phelan manage to escape with all eyes firmly rooted on him now?

And it all looks set to come out, as Anna spies a message on the phone Faye has stolen, but will Michael take his opportunity to find more evidence?

Elsewhere, Ken Barlow is set for not one but TWO surprise visitors tonight, as his long-lost son Daniel is caught reading to him in hospital - moments before his grandson Adam walks in.

Sam Robertson, who plays Adam Barlow, is set to return to the cobbles first, meeting Tracy and Peter before going to visit Ken together.
