Soap watchers couldn't quite believe what they were seeing as rogue businessman Stephen Reid's killing spree continued on Coronation Street. On Friday night (January 20) fans saw Stephen wailing in despair after he took the life of yet another character.
Rewind to last month, Corrie viewers saw Stephen 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 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 Connor. 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.
