Coronation Street actor Connor McIntyre has been praised for his portrayal of villainous Pat Phelan after he bid farewell to the character. The shock twist saw Eileen label Pat a murderer and rapist after he had launched into a lengthy monologue in which he called himself the “worst thing you can imagine”. I’m that, I’m the darkness and the light, I’m a creator and a destroyer, the accuser and the prosecutor, I’m the Lord of Hope, I’m the layer in wait, I’m the worst thing you can imagine,” Pat said. I am so gutted that you have left and that Pat Phelan is no more but you are an extremely talented actor and have been amazing to watch over the years. #Corrie #Phelan @connor9mcintyre it won’t be the same without you.”@connor9mcintyre is just the greatest baddie that ever lived.
