Coronation Street - Michael Rodwell's ongoing feud with Pat Phelan will cause him to suffer another health scare.

Michael vows to confront Phelan, having learned from Andy Carver that the villain is doing a dodgy deal by selling Jason Grimshaw's tools from under his nose.

When Michael finds Phelan alone in the builder's yard, he confronts him over betraying Jason and his unhealthy interest in Eileen, but the schemer simply laughs in his face.

However, things soon take a more serious twist when Michael suffers from terrible chest pains and falls down the stairs, but Phelan does nothing to help him.

Jason is later horrified to find Michael lying motionless at the bottom of the stairs, prompting Phelan to feign concern and phone an ambulance. 

Les Dennis, who plays Michael, said: "Andy tells him he's heard Phelan on the phone discussing some chisels and seemingly he's going to sell them, but Michael's not going to have Jason made a fool of so that's when he goes over to confront Phelan. He's shouting to Phelan who is, ironically, singing along to the song Feelings on the radio and ignores him. Michael collapses with chest pains and falls down the stairs but does Phelan do anything to help? Not until Jason arrives and an ambulance is called.​"

As Michael recovers from his ordeal in hospital, things go from bad to worse when Phelan is able to prove his supposed innocence regarding Jason's tools. 

Although Eileen insists that he needs to rein in his paranoia, Michael is determined to prove his point and later spies on Phelan when he offers to take Eileen to the bank.

Unfortunately, Michael's plans go awry when Eileen catches him in the act and subsequently ends their relationship, paving the way for Phelan to make his move.

Les added: "Michael has an instinct about Phelan. He's watching him all the time. He thinks he's making a play for Eileen so he's watching for that too. But Jason and Eileen can't understand what he's on about. Michael's been in prison, he has an instinct for wrong 'uns. He puts two and two together and he thinks that Phelan is bad through and through. He hears from Andy that Phelan is giving Eileen a lift in the van and Michael heads off on his crutches to find out what's going on. He's on a mission. He gets into the back of the van, complete with crutches... and Eileen finds him there.​ She's very cross, she tells Michael it's over and once again Phelan seems to be the saint here and Michael is the idiot."

With Michael and Eileen's relationship seemingly over, could a reunion with Gail possibly be on the cards?

Les said: "​I think Michael found himself in this situation where there's such a web of lies Gail's told him about Gavin and Andy that he can't forgive her. He does still love her however, so who knows? He needs someone who is a little more settled and nurturing than Eileen. Eileen doesn't nurture him, but they have that kind of dynamic where they shout at each other and it's exciting. With Gail, he's totally looked after and with his condition that's maybe what he needs.​"
