Coronation Street star Connor McIntyre joins Casualty

Connor McIntyre is perhaps best known for playing the role of Pat Phelan in Coronation Street between 2013-2018.

He left the soap in 2018 as Phelan was stabbed to d3ath. But now, Connor’s re-entering the soap world once more.

He’ll be appearing in Casualty for a guest role, playing the role of Kenny Sanders.

It’s unclear what’s in store for the character during his time on the show, but the episode synopsis has shared several details about what to expect from the episode: “Stevie walks into danger as the identity of her stalker is revealed, Ngozi is on edge when her secret is exposed, and Flynn finds a solution to the department’s money problems.”

This episode starring Connor will air on Saturday, April 12 at 9.10pm on BBC One. It will also be available on iPlayer.

Pat Phelan in Coronation Street

Pat Phelan was a very memorable Corrie villain, causing great havoc for the residents of Weatherfield during his time there.

Tormenting Anna Windass, Pat’s dark side kept continuing to grow as he ended up k!lling Andy Carver and Luke Britton.

He also caused the d3ath of poor Michael Rodwell, as well as murdering Vinny Ashford.

In 2018, at Michelle and Robert’s wedding, Pat’s reign of terror came to an end then Anna Windass stabbed him. He then died as a result of the injuries.

And, he’s been a huge part of Corrie history ever since.
