Coronation Street fans are predicting drama for Fiz as they questioned her new boyfriend's motives.
In the latest episode, Phill revealed that he'd been sacked by the council for leaking environmental papers to Maria. Worried about their finances, Fiz proposed they push forward with selling her family home.
However, fans think he could be leading Fiz on in an attempt to swindle her out of all her money. Taking to Facebook to share their theories, one fan, according to the Daily Star, said: “I’m not sure [what’s going to happen] but Phill is too good to be true.

"Deffo up to something. “If he ‘worked for the council’ how come he was never seen before? For example, when the collapse happened at the factory [and] Rick killed Rana?”
Another added: “If the house was going in a joint name… Phill is definitely up to something.”
A third said: “Also what job did he actually have at the council? Could have been on the caretaking side which would give him access to documents etc., he could have been snooping around out of office hours. Not sure but thought you had to have a verbal warning then a written warning then you’re out!”
And a fourth social media user said: “Going to end up bad, I think Phil is a con man. It’s all going to end in tears - he’s a wrong ‘un!” Some fans even think he could be linked to Fiz’s evil ex and serial killer John Stape, fancying that they could be somehow related by DNA.
One fan theorised earlier in the year: “I think he’s something to do with John Stape. Not sure what it is yet. Maybe brother?” A second viewer agreed: “I think Phill is John Stape’s brother,” as another said: “I wonder if Phill is related to John Stape?”
