Partnering with Phelan on Coronation Street

Over a year now now I’ve been training a garden robin to take dried worms from my hand and training my partner to enjoy Corrie. I’ve had success with the robin, but just as it seems I was getting there with my partner he flies away. And what’s spooked him? The Phelan story- too big a worm to swallow.

I could coax him to accept that he had to put aside his architectural training when it came to the logistics of the street's house interiors. 

I could get him to remember the order of Gail’s husbands. With Carla he came to overcome his preference for blondes. 

I got him so that Kylie’s death on the cobbles really got to him. 

He has stopped asking me where “little Jack “ came from. 

He disliked David, but learnt there was a pleasure in hating a character.

But Phelan has been too much for him - he’s been getting away with horrendous things for far too long.

My assurances that he WOULD get his comeuppance eventually seemed to settle him. But reading previews of last week's episodes I jumped the gun and told him he was going to happen. 

So when Phelan actually survived his attempt to retrieve his phone from a cement filling pit…. he flew away. 

And I’m really not sure whether I can coax him back.
