But tonight, it was revealed the murderer had survived the fall and the icy temperatures and was propped up in bed in a B&B.
As his wife Eileen sat in a police interview room being grilled about her husband’s murderous ways, viewers were stunned to see a battered and bruised Phelan tending to his wounds.
As he patched himself up fans mused about Phelan's next move, with some believing he would soon vanish without a trace leaving Eileen to pay for his crimes.
Others thought the villain was biding his time and would return to the cobbles to take his revenge on those that had wrong him.

Many viewers were convinced after Friday's double bill that the character was still alive as no body had been found, and it turns out they were right.
As a B&B owner opened a bedroom door, viewers got their first glimpse of the injured villain - played by Connor McIntyre.
As she brought him a tray of tea and biscuits, she said she hoped it was OK, to which Phelan replied: "I've survived worse Mrs Gillan."
With cuts and bruises all over his face and hands, the lady said: "You do seem in good spirits Mr. Frost".

Phelan took the sewing kit from her and said she was "most kind, thank you" but looking at his wounds, she asked: "Won't you let me call a doctor, some of those wounds look nasty?"
But the villain replied: "No, no, the hospital said all I need is rest Mrs Gillan."
Once she had left the room, Phelan pulled back the bed sheets to reveal a massive bloodied wound on his leg.
