Come on Kirk, if you can read between the lines the cost is too high. At least think about it.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying a villain but it seems a few posters can't handle that and I find it ironic that some of those that call King Phelan a bully are the ones who are doing the bullying themselves because they don't like someone enjoying a fictional character. Quote:
My posts are usually fun comments. It's not done to get anybody wound up. Most posters seem to realize that. But sometimes if someone takes it wrong and gets nasty I'm more than willing to return it. If I think a post is nonsense I'll express that opinion and argue why I think so. But one thing I won't do is post on a subject or say anything to someone that is obviously distressed by it. Some are fragile and their wishes should be respected. Mental and physical wellbeing comes before any posts, funny or serious or any other kind.

Well winding up fellow posters is not really the intention of this forum. Let's discuss the characters & storylines in a more interesting & relevant manner.
Because I am getting the impression that it's not what I am posting that is winding some people up but the fact it's me, there are hundreds if not thousands of people posting on the soap section of DS yet it seems to be just me that is being singled out and berated for what I post, may I suggest if that is the case I do believe there is an ignore function on the forum feel free to use it. PS, no I'm not being paranoid.

Still doesn't change the fact it is repetitive and he has ridiculous amount of plot armour. Oh yeah and the lack of follow up to him and Vinny scamming the street.
God, Digital Spy users are so fickle

So what is winding people up the fact I am having a bit of fun about a fictional character or the fact it's me that is doing it?

Well if you was paranoid it would be with good reason as you seemed to have been singled out by at least 3 people who are accusing you of winding them up for making jokes about Phelan, others have been doing the same but have been ignored for doing so, from what I have read of what you have posted I can't see why it would be considered an intentional wind up, I suggest the wind up lies with how your comments are perceived by others and that is often the problem with the written word on a forum such as this at least that is what I hope is happening rather than the alternative of it being just because it's you that is posting.

Hopefully that's how he will meet his end - no villain (fictional or otherwise) can get away with nasty deeds forever. davejc64 - apologies if you think I have a go at you more than others (not intended), although you do seem to genuinely enjoy your windups whereas some others have just jumped on the bandwagon to be one of the boys - they're easy to ignore. Seems to be mainly women who hate Phelan and the mock hero worship. |

The fact that I dreamt about Phelan last night shows just how much I loathe the character. He got a fitting end - fell into a giant cement mixer at his scam flats "development" and was mashed to pieces. When the cement was laid, all that was left of him was his smug mouth and that was trampled on by all the people he'd conned out of £15,000 .

For me it's just the humour not about winding anyone up, I find humour in the soaps the way certain characters are portrayed as baddies and that other characters are either too thick to see what's going on or they are cowering and simpering whenever the baddie is around them, I still have the scene of Anna stamping up and down and growling like a demented bear when she was smashing up Phalan's van for me that was hilarious I know it probably wasn't supposed to be and that just made it funnier, that's my sense of humour I'm afraid, like it or lump it.
![]() The funnies scene ever in Corrie for me was Blanche at the AA meeting with Peter. Corrie has lost its humour - it's starting to mimic EE, which I stopped watching years ago because it was nothing but thugs, doom and gloom. There were happy stories in the past mixed in with the darker ones. Now it's just plotting and threats. Better villains than Phelan were Lewis (just quietly conning people) and Richard Hillman (conning and killing, but not menacing or threatening). Both intelligent and charming. No-one hero-worshipped them even for fun. Phelan is just a psychopathic caveman by comparison. So why has Phelan become almost a cult figure for some, while other villains haven't? |

I don't find any portrayal of nastiness funny, probably because I had to deal with a lot of it in real life when working.

It's a joke that got old very fast, however some folk still seem to find it funny so each to their own.

Kate (Earn Your) Oates knows not to mess around with the award winning ratings winner. It's just another way for karma to come to those who lie, wish him harm and try to kill him.
Just a small sample of his supreme acts. He's cast Annaphelatic's crutches aside and given her the power to walk. He's saved her life. He's come back from the ''dead'' on a couple of occasions. The only deity an Atheist believes in. ALL HAIL! Whom dare question KING? It's been a while but, I feel a couple of verses coming on... KING of kings, We all love Pat Phelan Other things Mean nothing to me KING of kings Laughter and money Will always be Important to (P)he. I did catch up with last night's episode and thought, how nice of Vileen to say she'd have to check with KING to see if another Waif and Stray could be taken inn. After all, he got rid of the original one... Hopefully, Jen Behaving Bradley will seek guidance from KING on how to get her revenge for trying to tell the truth. Her time to own the factory couldn't come soon enough. |

My favourite Blanche scene was in Ken's house where Blanche was somewhat tipsy and letting out all the dark family history. ![]() I agree totally about Richard Hillman & Lewis - charmingly dangerous and ruthless, had no love for them but they were more interesting than plain nasty Phelan. |

The writing of Phelan is very poor. No depth to him - just a nasty psychopath. In his first stint on the show, there was a purpose to him, but they brought him back and don't seem to know what to do with him. All the writers can come up with for him this time is to find someone to con and threaten. Move on to the next one. Repeat. The only deviation was to have Vinny con him. Now we're back to con and threaten. Are they going to do this to every resident in the street. If so even his fans will get bored. |

When is he first arrived he was just an ordinary bloke who only cared about money
Now he has been turned into some kind of Pantomime villain who everyone is scared who can control people to do what he wants if he has enough dirt on them. And is unrecognisable to the bloke who first arrived on the street Callum Logan was way better imo |

he's always been a crap, hateful, disgusting, vile character who makes my skin crawl
Callum Logan was way better imo ![]() I have been thinking about the evil characters Corrie has spawned over the years - I really hated Charlie ? who I hated as much then as I do Phelan now. But I think the most evil was played by Lee Boardman. I'm desperately searching my memory for the character who finally cornered him & finished him off - was it Jason? |
