Coronation Street star Sally Ann Matthews has sent a warning to the show’s evil Pat Phelan as he threatened to embroil young Seb Franklin in his villainous schemes.
The teenager, played by Harry Visinoni, was sneakily persuaded by Connor McIntyre’s murderous character to put his fingertips all over a gun, which Phelan carefully stowed away while he slept off a heavy round of drinks.
What's Phelan got planned for Seb?

Among the viewers who shared their shock over Twitter, Matthews, who plays Jenny Bradley, was one of the first to ward Phelan off.
As the extra Thursday episode of the ITV soap aired, she posted: “Don’t you do anything to our Seb or you’ll have me to answer to Mr Phelan x #Corrie.”
