Coronation Street viewers were shocked tonight after evil Pat Phelan tormented an elderly lady.
But the biggest surprise came when dithery Flora was revealed to be the mother of Vinny Ashford, the man who ran off with the money from the Calcutta flats scam.
Pat and Vinny stole thousands off of the residents of Weatherfield with their con, including the Nazirs and the Grimshaws, but Vinny then turned on his pal and took all the money for himself.
But Phelan faced his old enemy again, in the form of a framed photo, after following Daniel Osbourne to an old people's home.

Daniel was snooping for information about the flats for a story for the Gazette, so Pat gave him a stern warning.
He said: "If you continue to push with this you're going to make me very angry."
Daniel asked if that was a warning, to which Pat replied: "Call it a friendly warning."
After following Daniel to the old folks' home, Pat showed a fake ID to gain entry and saw him talking to Vinny's mum.

Flora didn't remember Pat, but he knew exactly who she was, as he picked up a photo of Vinny.
The villain asked: "How do you know this fella Flora?"
"That’s my son, Harvey," she replied, revealing that Vinny was using a fake name.
Pat said: "Harvey, Harvey it's funny I used to know him as Vinny - Vinny Ashford."
Flora explained: "He has lots of names something to do with his work, I never understood, I do miss him."
A terrifying Pat added: "Me too Flora, me too."
