Coronation Street fans want Phelan to do one more thing before he leaves the cobbles for good...

Ok, so we've literally been desperate for Phelan to leave Coronation Street for what feels like DECADES.

After murdering three people, watching another die without helping him and just generally terrorising the residents of Weatherfield, we were beginning to think we'd never see the day when Phelan would finally leave.

Thankfully, it looks as though he'll finally get his comeuppance next week...

But after David Platt was the victim of rape earlier this week by the evil Josh Tucker, Corrie fans are pleading with show bosses to reconsider Phelan's exit.

David was drugged by Josh while they were on a night out, and his supposed friend then took advantage of his state and raped him.

And while we can't possibly reveal what's going to happen next in the storyline, fans have guessed that things aren't going to be tied up any time soon.

However - viewers have come up with an alternative for show writers... What if Phelan stayed around a bit longer and bumped Josh off?!

We can't say we'd mind, to be honest...

BUT we're pretty sure that Phelan will meet some sort of gloomy end on the top of a cliff next to a sea - we wonder what will happen next...?

WATCH: David confronts Josh about what he did
