Ian Kelsey joins Coronation Street
Watch out Weatherfield - there’s a new bad guy in town and what’s more he is in cahoots with Pat Phelan!
Former Where the Heart Is, Emmerdale and Doctors actor Ian Kelsey has been cast as dodgy businessman Vinny, an old associate of Phelan.
With Jason off the scene, Phelan is helping Eileen look after his business interests but he has big plans of his own - which is where property developer Vinny comes in...
Ian, who also starred in Blue Murder and Casualty, started filming today (Friday June 17th) and will be on screen from August.
It remains to be seen just what the scheming pair will get up to but it certainly spells Double Trouble for the residents of Coronation Street.
