Coronation Street fans reckon they've worked out that Elaine Jones might become Stephen Reid's next victim as they watched Monday night's episode (May 1). Not only do they think Elaine, Tim Metcalfe's mum, might be killed off by her man, they've predicted how she might die at the hands of the soap serial killer.
Soap watchers saw Elaine's worried son Tim Metcalfe take her hostage in his taxi to stop her from heading to Las vegas to marry Stephen, who he suspects is after her money. As they returned to the cobbles she complained of a funny turn and said she needed her pills.
This was news to Stephen who later asked her what they were for, and she told him she suffered from high blood pressure. "My mother had it too," she explained. "She was younger than I am now when she died bless her." And she added ominously: "I must be made of stronger stuff."
