Here is a storyline I came up with concerning the Grimshaws and Pat Phelan. This takes place in the aftermath when Phelan manages to get the money he needs in his scheme, although he doesn't con Eileen and does give her and Jason their cut, as well as Todd for being a good sport.
Christmas Eve 2016. Eileen and Phelan are officially engaged and he has become a part of the Grimshaw family. They are looking forward to a Christmas and promising New Year, seeing as they are now rich. Good old Pat.
"See Todd, we had nothing to worry about with Pat's project" says Eileen
"I know mother" replied Todd "I was such a fool to mistrust him. Thank goodness I came to my senses."
"Can't argue with that" laughs Phelan, who is putting some bobbles on the Christmas tree.
The Grimshaws crack open a bottle of bubbly and toast their successes. But there is a knock at the back door. They answer it and there is Vinny, who is in the cold.
"You's wouldn't mind taking in a poor lost soul and give him a bed for the night?" says Vinny, shivering and teeth shattering.
"Sure come in" says Phelan, welcoming him in open arms.
Phelan asks Eileen if it is alright for Vinny to stay the night, and Eileen says it is no problem. After all he was another reason the deal happened.
Cut to Christmas morning, Phelan, Eileen and Todd come storming down the stairs in their pajamas and slippers. Phelan bursts into the living room, where there are presents stacked around the room.
"Santa's been! Santa's been!" squeals Phelan. Eileen enters the room, gobsmacked and mouth open in astonishment. She looks at Pat.

"Did you do this?"
"Not me love" replies Phelan. He looks at Todd "You?"
"Not me mother" says Todd, who has a big smile on his face.
Vinny enters the room, looking surprised. They stare at him.
"Don't look at me" he says
"Enough speculation, let's open presents!" shouts Phelan

After opening presents and watching the Queen's speech, Phelan cooks up a Christmas dinner in his pinny. He serves it up at the small table and they awkwardly sit round it. As they are about to tuck in, there is a tap at the window. Sean has his nose pressed up.
"Hellooooo" says Sean "Eileen, can I come in?"
Phelan huffs.
"I'll deal with him"
He shuts the blind, covering the window and obscuring Sean's face.
They all sit down to Christmas dinner.

Later that evening Vinny prepares to leave. Eileen, Todd and Phelan urge him to stay as he is now like "family" and the front room is going spare now Sean has finally left. But Vinny says he has new adventures to go on. They all hug, and Vinny makes his departure.
Carolers gather in the street to sing hymns. Eileen, Todd and Phelan are huddled on the door step holding each other closely and with mugs of hot chocolate in hands. As the carolers sing, they see a bright light in the sky and a sleigh going overhead. They look at the object, and see Vinny riding it dressed as Santa. He waves at them and they wave back smiling.

Not perfect. More work needs to be done. But still, I think it's time Phelan had a happy ending.
