Coronation Street viewers think they know what Stephen Reid is up to, and it doesn't look good for his mother Audrey Roberts.
The character made his return to the soap in recent scenes, just in time to save his mum after a horrifying accident.
Audrey was rushed to hospital after being trapped under a motorbike in the barbers all night, after it fell on her.
Stephen rescued her and called an ambulance, before berating his sister Gail and her family for not noticing she was missing.
More recently, Audrey has been shutting out her loved ones, despite reconciling with Gail.
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, and later Audrey 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 taking care of them.
But viewers 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 that Stephen was faking being there for Audrey, and that he was in fact plotting to 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."
