Eileen Grimshaw and Nicola Rubenstein will face their worst nightmare this evening - Pat Phelan.
In shocking scenes airing tonight on Coronation Street , the pair will come face-to-face with murderous builder Phelan as he barges into their own home.
Intent on exacting revenge, Phelan points a gun at both of them as he makes his demands to see his grandson Zach.
Speaking to Mirror TV ahead of tonight, actresses Sue Cleaver and Nicola Thorp teased what viewers could expect tonight - describing it as “gripping and bloody”.

Full of vitriol, Phelan lashes out at Eileen by saying that he never loved her and that he felt sick every time she touched him.
“By then she's just in shock, of course he's going to say that,” soap star Sue, who plays Eileen, said. “I think there's no doubt that he loved her. But then as soon as she went against him that was the end of it, so yeah.”
She added: “Her focus is on Zach and Nicola at that moment.”

As well as being brutal and violent, Nicola and Sue also said that some laughs would be in store.
“It is funny, we watched it and I was really surprised, there are some really funny moments in it,” Nicola said. “Classic Corrie - bloody and humour.”
“And it is ‘the end’,” Sue quipped.
So what will life be like in Weatherfield after Phelan?
“Well hopefully it will be a bit calmer, hopefully no one will die,” Sue replied.
Nicola joked: “Yeah, just for a few weeks”.
