Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver has revealed what's in store for Eileen Phelan over the next week...
We're so close to seeing Phelan's final moments on Coronation Street, even if it DOES feel like we've been waiting a lifetime to see him go.
But after Corrie dropped a brand new trailer indicating the demise of the villainous Pat, viewers will finally get to see how Phelan, played by Connor McIntyre, exits the show after five years of terrorising the residents of the cobbles.

17 of the STEAMIEST soap kisses in TV history - SLIDER with cover pic
Coronation Street
Jimmy King and Kelly Windsor, Emmerdale
Kelly Windsor had a VERY tumultuous life in the Dales. Her relationship with Jimmy King began as a brief fling, but it ended after he discovered she was working as a glamour model and didn't like it. They eventually got married,
Kelly Windsor and Jimmy King
Sadly, Kelly and Jimmy's relationship fell apart after she had a secret abortion and he couldn't forgive her for it, but what a steamy passion they had together!
Sharon Mitchell and Phil Mitchell, EastEnders
Blimey, don't EastEnders writers LOVE pitting siblings against each other in a love triangle?! And why is it always the Mitchells?! Anyway. Sharon married her abusive boyfriend Grant - but falls for his sensitive brother, Phil.
Sharon Watts and Phil Mitchell
And we all remember how that one turned out, don't we? Shaz's friend Michelle accidentally recorded them talking about how she had feelings for Phil, leaving Grant to find it and, of course, play it to the ENTIRE population of Walford in the Queen Vic at Phil and Kathy's engagement party.
Sienna Blake and Dodger Savage, Hollyoaks
Ok, we know this one isn't so much steamy as ABSOLUTELY GROSS, but it's pretty controversial so we simply couldn't ignore it. Dodger and Sienna conceived a baby when they were 13 after a brief encounter, but Sienna's father Patrick gave her away.
Sienna Blake and Dodger Savage, Hollyoaks
Fast forward however many years and they meet again - but they soon realise that despite sleeping together and having a baby, they're actually LONG LOST TWIN SIBLINGS. NOOOOO.
Kim Tate and Dave Glover, Emmerdale
Kim Tate is one of the most loved/hated characters in soap history. She is best remembered for seeming utterly evil, and her failed relationships were the stuff of legend.
Kim Tate and Dave Glover, Emmerdale
Despite her many passionate kisses, Kim rolling around in hay in a barn is just too classic Emmerdale to leave out.
Sinead O'Connor and Tony Hutchinson, Hollyoaks
Don't the soaps just LOVE an incestuous affair?! Sinead O'Connor (lol) embarked on an illicit affair with her stepfather Tony Hutchinson, who was married to her mum Diane.
Hollyoaks
Initially, Sinead only seduced Tony to get back at her mum, but then the pair fall in love for real and have a full-blown affair. She even thinks she's pregnant by him at one stage, before discovering he's infertile and Ste was actually the father.
Peter Barlow and Tina McIntyre, Coronation Street
Tina McIntyre had a very troubled life on the Street - what with her dad being killed, being a surrogate mother and having abortion. Oh, and then being killed herself. Her relationship with Peter, a much older man, began as an illicit affair as he was at that point engaged to marry Carla Connor.
Coronation Street
But they're not bothered about that, and have their first passionate snog on Peter's actual wedding day to Carla after she's passed out drunk. They then embark on an affair - before Carla's brother Rob murders her.
Coronation Street
Linda and Mark basically couldn't keep their hands off of each other. She married Mike anyway, but continued sleeping with his son. Of course! What else would she do?!
Linda Baldwin and Mark Redman, Coronation Street
This was yet ANOTHER incestuous affair - Underworld machinist Linda embarked on an affair with her boss Mike Baldwin, but when his son Mark Redman re-entered his life after years away, things got spicy...
Kate Connor and Rana Nazir, Coronation Street
Along a similar vein, Kate and Rana are currently caught up in an illicit affair - which is a bit awkward for Muslim Rana who is married to Zeedan.
Coronation Street
After initially writing off her jealousy at Kate's relationship, Rana slowly began to realise that it was more than just over-protectiveness of her friend. They soon began an affair - what will happen next? We wonder...
Deirdre Barlow and Dev Alahan, Coronation Street
Now these two were the most unlikely couple EVER. You'd would never have put them together - yet there they were, getting down and dirty on Deirdre's carpet.
Coronation Street
In the weirdest twist of events, Dev started going out with Deirdre's daughter Tracy - but that soon ends after their one-night stand is inevitably found out.
Moira Barton and Cain Dingle, Emmerdale
Moira has only been in Emmerdale for seven years, but she's achieved a LOT in that time. During her stint on the show, she and nemesis Cain have been rather entangled as they enjoyed an affair whilst she was married to her childhood sweetheart John, before they actually got married themselves.
Emmerdale
More recently, Moira fell pregnant - but wasn't sure who the father was. But of course, it was Cain's!
Robert Sugden and Aaron Barton, Emmerdale
Aaron and Robert were initially just friends, and Robert was engaged to Chrissie White. But things all changed when Aaron confessed that he was gay to Robert, triggering him to realise his own feelings...
Emmerdale
After luring Aaron to a random side of the road pretending that his car has broken down, the pair eventually acted on their secret desires and have a good old snog.
Bernice Blackstock and Carlos Diaz, Emmerdale
Bernice was married to the lovely, gentle Ashley Thomas (RIP), but in Soapland that's never enough is it! She started an affair with her sister Nicola's fiancé, Carlos Diaz.
Emmerdale
And obviously, Bernice fell pregnant - not knowing who the father was. She gave birth to a baby girl named Gabrielle, and after much to-ing and fro-ing, discovered that it was Ashley who was her father. Phew!
Max Branning and Stacey Slater, EastEnders
Stacey Slater and Bradley Branning were literally the cutest couple to ever appear on EastEnders. Despite the fact that they were complete opposites, their relationship was the stuff of DREAMS.
EastEnders
...That is, until Stacey started sleeping with his dad, Max. People across the country will ALWAYS remember the moment that Lauren revealed Max and Stacey's affair to the world with a home video that accidentally filmed Max and Stacey snogging on her wedding day to Bradley. Awks.
Roxy Mitchell and Jack Branning, EastEnders
Now this was the ULTIMATE betrayal. Ronnie and Jack were in love with each other for the longest time, and were in this sort of weird on-off thing for ages. They FINALLY were able to put their past aside and get married, but we all know how that ended...
EastEnders
In the midst of all this, Roxy and Jack had a passionate one-night stand - despite the fact that Ronnie knew full well that her sister was in love with Jack, Roxy slept with him and became pregnant.
EastEnders
Tragically, Jamie was killed by none other than Martin himself, and Sonia stayed with him until his death in the hospital on Christmas Day 2002.
Sonia Jackson and Jamie Mitchell, EastEnders
Sonia and Jamie were just two messed up kids who found happiness with each other - that is, until Sonia found out she was pregnant by Martin Fowler after a one-night stand. Despite this, they put their trouble behind them and got married.
Christian Clarke and Syed Massood, EastEnders
Now THIS was a forbidden love if ever we've seen one. Syed and Christian slowly fell in love over time - but Syed's Muslim background meant that it was utterly prohibited. And so much more tantalising...
EastEnders
Of course, they couldn't stay away from each other for long, and ended up in a steamy lip-locking sesh. After MANY ups and downs, they tied the knot and moved to American to start a new life together. Naww.
Brendan Brady and Ste Hay, Hollyoaks
Despite this being one of the weirdest soap couples ever, we all found ourselves kind of rooting for poor little Ste and abusive Brendan.
Hollyoaks
They did have a relationship together, but it was short-lived - and Brendan's near-death experience at the hands of police was truly heart-wrenching. He was then carted off to prison to live out his days... But could he one day return?
Beth Jordache and Margaret Clemence, Brookside
We couldn't have a gallery of steamy soap kisses without including one of the most iconic snogs of them all. The first pre-watershed lesbian kiss aired in the UK happened in 1994 was acted out by Anna Friel and Nicola Stephenson, who played Beth and Margaret.
Brookside
It was also included in the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, which was broadcast live and uncensored in 76 countries where homosexuality is illegal, meaning that it became the first homosexual kiss to be broadcast in those countries.
Sue Cleaver, who has played Eileen since 2000, has now spoken out about the upcoming scenes in which Eileen and Phelan will fight on top of a cliff right next to the sea while on holiday in Cumbria.
She has revealed that although Eileen had her doubts about Phelan before, she put them to one side after Anna was sent down and made a real go of things with Pat.
She says: "She’s been supporting her husband and went back to the belief that everyone has got it in for him, as she does really love him.
"But when she finds out he did con everyone, she’s furious. She was ready to go to the police until she realised that Todd was implicated as well. She’s made the decision that she wants to stay with him but it’s not plain sailing."
Hmph. You can say that again
Coronation Street Eileen lighthouse STACKED
Corrie
After they have an argument on the cliffside, Eileen will drop her car keys into the sea, but Phelan actually comes to her rescue as she's injured.Sue says: "He wants to help get her a taxi before he disappears - and that is his downfall in the end, the fact that he really does have genuine feelings for Eileen."
Corrie
She continued: "She tells him to just leave her alone but then she gets a signal on her phone and hears a message from Tim telling her about the bodies at the mill and the fact she's in danger."Uh oh...
Corrie
So Eileen is stuck up on a cliff with Phelan, barely any phone signal and she's just discovered he has killed at least two people. Sue reveals: "It comes as an absolute shock to Eileen, the fact that two bodies have been found and Phelan is behind the deaths is hard to take in, it rocks her world and she's in a very vulnerable position because she's on her own with him. She's absolutely terrified, she wants to get away from him."
Corrie
Although Sue won't say much more, she does say what she can: "He turns on her, it's back against the wall time and she realises what Phelan is truly capable of, he could kill her. There's a tussle and it's a fight for her life."
Does this mean that Eileen could end up done for as well?
