Coronation Street killer Stephen Reid is set to murder more Cobbles residents, actor Todd Boyce has revealed.
Stephen has already murdered Teddy and his son Leo as well as seeing to the end of his 'business associate' Rufus by drowning him in his own pool. However, it looks like Stephen is set to kill again - as Todd teased more people have made their way into the firing line.
Fans have long suspected Stephen's partner Elaine could be the next to die after he was seen getting life insurance in her name, and Todd has now responded to fans' theories she could be the next to meet her fate.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said: "That would be the numbers you would connect..."
However, Todd also confirmed there are some other characters at risk too.
"He's got a few people who are getting on his nerves or making him nervous because they could jeopardise his future. He's worked so hard and I think he's come this far. He doesn't want to have to have done all this in vain. He wants to have a nice life," he said.
Stephen's murderous tendencies has made shopping a bit tricky for Todd.
He said: "Usually people in supermarkets just get quite pale when they see me."
Todd previously revealed his character will start taking risks as he "gets more desperate".
Speaking about what's to come, he said: "We are going to see him start taking risks as he gets more desperate, his life is starting to unravel and it is going to be interesting to see how he deals with the pressure. He is bound to start making mistakes and that could be his undoing. He certainly sees Owen as someone who is in his way."
Elaine finds herself on the floor after a shock accident next week, with Stephen hoping she might die.
"He is genuinely shocked and there is a moment when it looks like her is going to revive her," Todd said, "But then you can see the cogs turning and he thinks, 'Let's see how this turns out' and maybe it might be the perfect ending!
"He leaves, crossing his fingers that she will die before she is discovered."
