The return of Stephen Reid on Coronation Street will become increasingly dramatic, according to ITV bosses.
Stephen, played by Todd Boyce, recently returned to Weatherfield after living in Italy where he had run into financial difficulty. It first appeared as though his return came just at the right moment after his mother, Audrey Roberts, had experienced a difficult time enduring a bout of depression and attempting to take her own life.
However, Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod revealed that Stephen is actually set to make Audrey's life a whole lot harder. As viewers of the ITV soap opera have witnessed Stephen's kiss with Jenny Bradley and will see his subsequent involvement in the death of Jenny's partner Leo Thompkins, Mr MacLeod said: "He will continue to get more and more desperate, and more and more dark as the story unfolds.
