Fans wonder if Seb will survive after nasty ladder fall - following tense confrontation between Phelan and his victim, who came at him with a hammer, before he stole her earring
CORRIE was packed with drama tonight as Anna Windass' war with the diabolical Pat Phelan reached a hellish climax - as he tried to frame her for pushing Seb off a ladder.
Tense scenes saw Anna, who was previously raped by Weatherfield psycho Pat, try to attack him with a hammer - before he choked her in a brutal headlock, and stole her earring.
A while afterwards, Anna left the cafe to find his daughter's troubled boyfriend Seb falling off his ladder on to the cobbles a few houses away.
Shrieking, Anna ran to try and save him by calling an ambulance - before her petrified daughter Faye ran round the corner, begging her mum to do something to stop him bleeding to death.
Seeing as Anna had been seen slapping Seb during a very public argument in the cafe earlier that day - orchestrated by Phelan - it's clear she has been brutally framed for his "accident".
It comes shortly after a huge row between Seb, Faye and Anna saw the youngsters blame her for sending social services to take away Seb's heroin addict mother.
The following row tonight saw Seb call Anna a "chargrilled fish wife" - a phrase he had taken directly from Phelan himself - which prompted her to slap the youngster across the face.
Meanwhile Anna's boss Roy, who saw the slap, begged Anna not to cause "any more violence" - which of course did happen to poor Seb just a few hours later.
Will Weatherfield residents twig that Phelan set up Seb's accident to drive a stake into Anna once and for all?
It seems Seb's accident is playing right into Phelan's hands as he gears up to have his old work mate Vinny finished off by letting his prisoner Andy Carver take "revenge" on him.
Earlier in the episode, Phelan gave the late Michael's picture to his son Andy to rev him up for a meeting with the man he claimed killed him - Vinny.
Fans were so impressed with actor Connor McIntyre, who plays Phelan, they were saying he belongs in a Hollywood movie.
However, other viewers now feel the plot with Phelan and his torture of his enemies is "too disgusting" to keep going.
Coronation Street continues on ITV at 8.30pm.
