Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver has explained what's going on in Eileen's head after the shocking revelation to viewers that Phelan has been keeping Andy hostage.

Corrie viewers were literally shaken by the discovery that Phelan didn't actually bump Andy off all those months ago - he's just been keeping him hostage instead.

No biggie.

And with all that inevitably set to come out to the other characters, Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen, has revealed what's in store for Eileen - Phelan's missus.

Sue explained that Eileen very nearly catches Phelan in the act: "She discovers from Liz that he has been to the medical centre so alarm bells start ringing. Nicola calms her down and tells her to visit the house he is renovating and gives her the address.

"When she turns up he is shocked to see her and she demands answers. She wants to know why he hasn't told her about the house and why he has been to the doctors.

"She is angry that he has kept a secret from her and that coupled with his slightly strange behaviour of light does make her wonder."

"But he is very good at pulling the wool over people's eyes and talking himself out of a situation and he does seem to be trying to do this with Eileen.

"Eileen doesn't really see any reason to not believe what Phelan is telling her - remember, she has no idea he is a compulsive liar and conman, as Andy is in the cellar there are no tell tale signs anywhere else at the house."

But whilst Eileen is deeply in love with her husband Phelan, Sue said that "Eileen has always been very moral, she knows right

from wrong," adding that she would be "horrified" if she found out what had been going on.

She revealed: "Eileen would not keep this a secret if she knew. At some point he will have to get his comeuppance but it doesn't look like being any time soon.

"We film about eight weeks ahead and at the moment he is still up to no good. He is getting more and more desperate though as the net is closing in a bit and he has made a couple of mistakes which is not like him."

Oh heck... It looks like the Reign of Phelan will be continuing for at LEAST another couple of months.
