ITV Coronation Street's Stephen Reid leaves Carla Barlow for dead

Coronation Street's Carla Connor could be in grave danger as Stephen Reid takes his revenge to a new level.

Stephen has been spiking Carla's drinks with LSD since she demoted him to office manager in February. This week, he returns to his old tricks and drugs her during an important meeting with an American client.

But as the clients arrive at Underworld, Stephen reminds Carla how it’s imperative that she’s on top form. Carla can’t believe his nerve and as she takes charge, orders him to make the tea.

Angry at being belittled, Stephen double doses Carla's drink with the hallucinogenic drug. As the meeting draws to a close and the LSD kicks in, Carla’s behaviour becomes erratic.

With the American clients gone, the Underworld employees celebrate the deal, but they’re interrupted by a worse for wear Carla who screams at them to get out the factory.

The next day, Carla arrives at work and assures Stephen that she's well, but as she goes to make a drink she smashes a mug and cuts her finger.

Shocked, Carla visits Dr Gaddas who suggests she takes an extended break and goes back on her antipsychotic drugs. But while at the doctors, Stephen steals Carla's keys from the factory.

As Carla returns to her flat to sleep, Stephen later lets himself in, drops her keys back in her bag before heading into the kitchen and turning on the grill.
