Coronation Street fans renewed calls for soap baddie Pat Phelan to make a comeback to the cobbles - despite seeing him being killed off four years ago. Actor Connor McIntyre received a warm welcome at The British Soap Awards in London as he took to the stage to present long-time Corrie writer Jan McVerry with The Tony Warren Award for her achievements, named in honour of the soap's legendary creator.
And fans watching at home went wild as they remembered Phelan's reign of terror on the cobbles. Viewers took to Twitter to show their love for the memorable villain.
@I_am_KenBarlow asked: "#SoapAwards #SoapAwards2022 Is now a good time to discuss my idea for @connor9mcintyre to return, playing Pat's twin brother Matt Phelan?" And they said: "We can't bring back Pat Phelan. That would be ridiculous. We have to bring in his long-lost identical twin brother - Matt Phelan."
