Coronation Street fans rejoice as Eileen Grimshaw MURDERS Pat Phelan after the evil killer confesses

CORONATION Street fans are overjoyed after Eileen Grimshaw murdered serial killer Pat Phelan.

The taxi operator - who is played by actress Sue Cleaver in the ITV soap - finally learned the truth about her murderous husband's crimes in tonight's episodes and put an end to him herself in a shock twist.

Eileen bravely stood up against her husband and demanded he explain what he had to her face as she held the keys to his boat in her hands.

But as he went to attack her to get at the keys, there was a tussle and he fell through the railings.

Surviving and trying to climb back up, Phelan begged Eileen to help him, but then he went too far with his lies and claimed he had her missing son Todd hidden like he did with victim Andy Carver.

Screaming at him, Eileen stamped on his hands, causing him to fall into the raging sea below them and putting an end to his reign of terror.

Viewers utterly loved the scenes and flocked to social media to express their views.

Earlier killer Phelan confessed all to Eileen.

“Four, Eileen. There were four bodies, four souls and I bore witness over all of them,” he said as they circled each other in the pouring rain at the lighthouse.

“Do you really want to know what I am? I’m that, I’m the darkness and the light, I’m a creator and a destroyer, the accuser and the prosecutor, I’m the Lord of Hope, I’m the layer in wait, I’m the worst thing you can imagine,” he said as part of his unhinged rant.

Eileen cut him down swiftly, saying: “You’re insane.”

He continued: “Best you hear the truth from me rather than someone else.

“First one was Michael, your Michael. I didn’t actually kill him… I just watched him when his heart packed up.

“Back then I wasn’t sure I could kill. That’s why I locked up Andy in a cellar for months, almost a year in fact.”

He added to a terrified Eileen: “Turns out I could kill, turns out I was pretty good at it. I got him to finish Vinny off. Andy and Vinny, the concrete twins.”

Confronted about Luke, he then said: “Poor Luke, well Luke was an obstacle you see love and by then I was pretty good at killing, it was almost easy. It was like I couldn’t lose.”

Backed up against the railings, Eileen threatened to throw the boat keys into the sea to stop him from leaving.

“You’re not going anywhere, you’re going to pay for what you’ve done,” she told him defiantly.

And when he threatened to kill her to get the keys, they fought and he fell before she finished him off.
