Coronation Street viewers think they have worked out what Stephen Reid is up to after his sudden return to the cobbles.
The character recently returned to the soap just in time to save his mum Audrey from a terrifying accident.
Virgin Media viewers watched as Audrey was rushed to hospital after getting trapped under a motorbike in the barbers overnight after it fell on her.

Stephen rescued her and called an ambulance, before berating his sister Gail and her family for not noticing Audrey was even missing.
In more recent episodes, Audrey has been shutting out her loved ones, despite reconciling with Gail, Mirror UK reports.
She has trusted her son Stephen over her grandchildren, including David Platt, after speculating they were after her money after David tried to get power of attorney.
Audrey initially told them she planned to leave all of her money to the Weatherfield Association of Retail Traders, in memory of her late husband.
The family were furious but Audrey later confirmed she would leave money for all of them in her will - but there was a catch.
She announced she was creating trust funds for them all, and that son Stephen would be in charge of them.
Some Corrie fans were suspicious over Stephen's behaviour and the fact he now likely had access to all of the money.
Many fans took to Twitter to share their theories, including that Stephen was faking being there for Audrey so he could steal the trust funds.
With it clear he is hiding something and him firmly getting Audrey on side, fans believe it's only a matter of time before he reveals his true intentions.
One viewer predicted: "Stephen is definitely up to something, you don't come back after all these years out of the blue without a motive."
A second said: "Stephen is the one that's gonna take all of Audrey's money."
Another viewer added: "So Stephen is going to stick around and embezzle the trust funds." as a fourth tweeted: "Stephen is broke & in debt so he is trying take Audrey’s money."
The comments kept on coming too with one tweet reading: "And Stephen is going to run off with the trust funds isn't he?" and another said: "I think Stephen is after Audrey’s money."
