ITV Coronation Street fans have theory for Stephen Reid's downfall

Coronation Street fans think they know how killer Stephen Reid will be caught out.

The evil character, played by Todd Boyce, has been up to no good for weeks as he plotted to get his hands on all of Audrey Platt's money, unbeknown to her family. However, Leo Thompkins found out about the cunning plan and decided to confront the businessman.

While Leo was supposed to be taking a trip to Canada he ended up falling to his death instead as Stephen launched him off a balcony into a rubbish bin underneath. When Stephen approached, he thought he had knocked Leo out and was horrified to see his dead body in amongst the bin bags.

Panicked, Stephen left the body as he went out for dinner with his family. He later returned to move Leo's remains but it was unclear what he did with the body next.

Tonight's episode saw Stephen return to the scene of the crime once more - where he found Leo's mobile phone with a number of missed calls on it. He pocketed the phone, which fans thought was a terrible move on his part.

Taking to Twitter they shared their theories for how they thought he would end up facing justice. Oli said: "#Corrie Stephen should have left the phone there - police can track its movements."

David said: "Murder on your own doorstep is never a good idea. Somebody will have seen Stephen drive off in the Underworld wagon, mark my words." Meanwhile, another user said: "#Corrie Stephen putting Leo's phone in his pocket is not a good idea."
