Does this forum actually like Phelan or not?

I don't usually keep up with the Corrie fans but Phelan is a big topic to the Corrie fans right now, and I can't tell if the fans actually like him or if they're taking the piss? :D

    Personally, I did like him, I think opinions were split though.

    It's rare that a character can command such presence with every breath and line. Such a diverse and endearing character, whether he's releasing those lazy good for nothing scumbag pondlife Windasses out of a perfectly good contract, or ensuring - nay, demanding that a recently deceased pigeon got the funeral and respect it deserved, at the expense of his own pocket no less.

    The street has been crying out for someone with a firm but fair policy for quite some time. Chesney is too busy running his harem to run his manor these days, it's high time Phelan moved in and restored some order. Do you really think Maria would be bottling people on the street, or Rita having 9 double sherries before going for an afternoon drive would happen on his watch?

    And as for that wife Valerie, I have not a single doubt in my mind whatsoever that she's gonna be the new totty on the street once Lady Ronseal finally dies.

    I won't go into too much hyperbole as men of a certain breed deserve some respect and decorum befitting of their status, but I'd go as far to say that some days I find it hard to know where Phelan ends and Jesus begins.

    Does that answer your answer, Matt? :D

    Hate him - which I think is probably the reaction the producers are looking for. Great actor too.

    I'm thinking of writing a book about him, so future generations can try and understand. Busy schedule though - I'm writing a fanfic where every character is played by Cora for Vaslav, planning Phelan's 2015 Eurovision entry, and now I've gotta write a book on the bloke too :(

    I didn't like him really, but I liked what he did to the Armstrong-Windarses :)

    This 100%. JB, you've got such a way with words. I think Phelan would think you were a top bloke.

    I bet Valerie 's glad when her Pat is unfaithful; Phelan would be too much for one woman...

    I had forgotten him until reading this; a pantomime comic character. IMO.

    Phelan was the king of the street :cool: a deeply, deeply sexual man.

    I will be opening a Pat Phelan fan club. I will be making Pat Phelan merchandise such as T-Shirts and framed photographs to put up on the wall, and other goodies like Pat Phelan bobble heads. Hopefully one day he goes down in the history books as a great influential man.

    There will also be a DVD, Coronation Street - The Best of Pat Phelan with all his great moments such as asking Gary to take care of the pigeon, the introduction of his tough best friend Clive the Foreman and the moment when audiences were moved when he asked Anna on their first date at the hotel.

    He gives me a warm, fuzzy phelan!

    Seriously - he's a brilliant baddie. Its about time a soap had a truly, 'boo-hiss' villain and the actor does a brilliant job.
