Well, the moment viewers have been waiting for has come at last, as show boss Kate Oates has now revealed details of when the villain will be ousted.
Kate, who has been at the helm of the soap since early 2016, has divulged some much-needed goss on Phelan's exit storyline - confessing that, as many thought, Eileen will be at the centre of his downfall.
Apparently, poor, oblivious Eileen will discover exactly what Phelan has been doing all these years which will lead to a "showdown" with some "final, electrifying twists," according to Metro.co.uk.
Eileen will be at the centre of Phelan's downfall
Kate also told Radio Times, "2018 is going to see the demise of Phelan. Connor is so up for this challenge. He’s so excited about it and he’s playing it brilliantly.
"What I like about Phelan’s downfall is that it’s very much to do with Eileen. It’s to do with her realising who she’s married. It’s to do with Nicola and that child.
"Promising some highly dramatic action scenes. There’ll be a few twists and turns – we have some stunts coming up, which will be exciting."
WATCH: Debbie Rush AKA Anna Windass reveals how she has felt about the Pat Phelan storyline:
