His tangled web of lies and deceit have drawn the unsuspecting people of Weatherfield in for months, and Coronation Street fans made a plea as they watched Stephen Reid's latest antics. On Thursday (December 29) Corrie watchers saw the rogue businessman have a shocking showdown in the street with Teddy Thompkins which ended with Teddy fighting for life.
The father of civil engineer Leo, who began a relationship with Rovers Return landlady Jenny Connor last year, angrily confronted rogue businessman Stephen over the disappearance of his son. Teddy revealed that Leo had never arrived in Canada to start a new life as expected, the texts he sent had come from Weatherfield and he intended to break the news to his fiancee Jenny.
As Stephen, who pushed Leo to his death from the Underworld factory back in September as he threatened to expose his financial troubles, panicked that the net was closing in, Teddy was suddenly hit by a van. In the soap's New Year's Eve episode, Jenny revealed that she’d had a call from the hospital informing her that Teddy had taken a turn for the worse, and Stephen was quietly thrilled.
