Coronation Street has officially got a new serial killer on its hand as Stephen Reid is set to claim his second victim. Fans of the ITV soap have been left frustrated by the character, played by Todd Boyce, since his return to Weatherfield with plans to fleece his much-loved mother, Audrey Roberts.
Drowning in his own money woes and in desperate need to pay back his ex Gabrielle, who he stole from in the past, Stephen planned to swindle his own family, including plotting to sell his mum Audrey's property in order to steal the equity. But as he tried to carry out his plan, he caught the attention of a very suspicious Leo Thompkins.
Not helped by the fact that he found him kissing his fiancee, Rovers Return landlady Jenny Connor, Leo was determined to find out the truth and to expose Stephen as the liar he is. As the pair came face-to-face around the back Underworld, Leo threatened to expose his plans.
