Coronation Street viewers were left reeling on Monday night as it was revealed that evil Pat Phelan is still alive.

But at the end of Monday night’s double bill, fans found out the villain (Connor McIntyre) had survived and was holed up in a B&B.

“Yassssssss I Just Screamed the house down.. He’s alive yasss !!!!,” said one excited viewer on Twitter.

One person posted: “What!!!! #Corrie #Phelan Stunned and at the same time delighted.”

“PHELAN IS ALIVE! I SCREAMED WITH SHOCK & EXCITEMENT,” said another.

“Well #Corrie you pulled it out of the bag tonight!! I was uber disappointed with fri nites double bill but man alive that was a twist and a half!” said one pleased fan.

However, not all viewers were happy to see Phelan back so soon.

“Absolutely fuming about phelan,” said one disgruntled viewer, while one person asked: “Dear God, when will this end?!”

“Ah seriously, Pat Phelan is alive. #Corrie you’re having a laugh at this stage,” moaned another.
