Todd Boyce struggled to hold back his emotions as he discussed joining the list of Coronation Street serial killers after it was revealed that his character Stephen Reid will kill again.
Todd returned to in the role of Stephen in the ITV soap last year, 15 years after he was last seen on the famous street and 26 years after making his debut in the role. And he appeared to arrive in the nick of time as his mum, Audrey Roberts, found herself in trouble when her drinking got a bit out of hand - despite her family's attempts at an intervention.
But it soon became clear that his return to the cobbles was as innocent as it seemed and that it was his dire finances that brought him back. Corrie fans have since watched in despair as Stephen planned to swindle money from his much-loved mother in order to pay his ex, Gabrielle back.
