Soap watchers were in hysterics as they watched killer Stephen Reid's latest antics on the Coronation Street cobbles. The bogus businessman was a mix of panic and fury after bumping off Teddy Thompkins in the previous episode, but soap viewers couldn't help laughing.
After cracking Teddy over the head with a hole punch, Stephen concealed his body in a roof box on his mum Audrey Roberts' car. But he was later horrified to learn that Audrey had driven off with it on a trip to the Peak District to see her friend Bev Unwin.
The drama on Monday, January 23 continued to focus on Stephen. He was at first relieved as Audrey brought the car, and the body, back after suffering a blown tyre because of the weight of the roof box, which he explained away as containing a load of old sewing machines.
