Coronation Street fans are fearing for one of the soap's most iconic characters as they 'work out' Stephen Reid's next move. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the character, who returned to Weatherfield earlier this year, is a murderer after a scuffle with Leo Tompkins saw the builder plunge to his death.
Leo, played by Joe Frost, arrived on the cobbles back in October 2021 as a new love interest for Jenny Connor. The Rovers Return landlady fell for the younger man following her split from her now late husband Johnny Connor. The pair then got engaged as Jenny finally agreed to leave her much-loved home to start a new life in Canada with Leo.
But the character's suspicions of Stephen ultimately led to his shock death. After catching him lying about staying in a hotel when he really slept in his car, Leo discovered that Stephen had also shared a kiss with his fiancee Jenny while they were on a break. Leo ended up punching Stephen and, on a mission to prove that he's a liar, he confronted him about his plan to get his hands on the equity from his mum Audrey’s house.
