The boss of Coronation Street has teased the end of Stephen Reid as viewers watch him set his sights on another victim. Viewers of the ITV soap have been left screaming at their TV's over Weatherfield's newest serial killer after he claimed his second helpless victim last month.
The character, played by Todd Boyce, returned to Weatherfield with plans to fleece his much-loved mother, Audrey Roberts as he drowned in his own money woes. In desperate need to pay back his ex Gabrielle, who he stole from in the past, Stephen planned to swindle his own family, including plotting to sell his mum Audrey's property in order to steal the equity.
But in a bid to keep his plans a secret, Stephen found himself an unintentional killer when he watched Leo Thompkins topple to his death after he got to the truth of why Stephen was back on the famous street before getting rid of his body and trying to convince Leo's fiancee Jenny Connor and his dad Teddy that he had fled to Canada as planned.

However, last month, Leo's dad, Teddy, was back on the scene and after being knocked over on the street, was nursed back to health by Jenny. Stephen also showed a keen interest in his recovery as he tried to make out that Leo told his dad he didn't want anything to do to with him following his trip to Canada.
But after his memories of before his accident were triggered following a conversation with Billy Mayhew, Teddy told Stephen that he remembered everything and vowed to report him to the police. However, he never got the chance as Stephen whacked him over the head and killed him before putting Teddy’s body in Audrey’s car roof
