Corrie star teases how killer Stephen's story ends after he makes mistake

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) is a man on edge in Coronation Street and it would seem there isn’t long left until things start unravelling for the serial killer.

One of the catalysts to this is Carla (Alison King) making the decision to sell her shares in Underworld.

Carla makes this decision as she wants to prioritise her mental health, something she only believes is at risk because Stephen spent months drugging her with LSD.

Stephen then discovers Carla’s friend, Owen (Ben Hull) will become co-owner, who tells Stephen that once he completely takes over, he’ll be out the door.

With his new life on the line, Stephen desperately tries to get Elaine (Paula Wilcox) to buy Carla’s shares and when she refuses, the murderer resorts to another plan to try and get himself more money.

‘He gives Elaine the caffeine tablets and then he acts as the concerned partner, despite knowing that he is the one that has made her feel so ill and dizzy’, Todd Boyce explained.

‘He plays the part perfectly. He isn’t planning to kill her at that point. He is trying to destabilise her. He offers to go out and get her some food and leaves her in the flat but when he comes back she has fallen.

Todd added: ‘He is genuinely shocked and there is a moment when it looks like her is going to revive her. But then you can see the cogs turning and he thinks let’s see how this turns out and maybe it might be the perfect ending! He leaves, crossing his fingers that she will die before she is discovered.’

But if Elaine survives this fall, could this be the beginning of the end for Stephen?

‘We are going to see him start taking risks as he gets more desperate, his life is starting to unravel and it is going to be interesting to see how he deals with the pressure’, Todd said.

‘He is bound to start making mistakes and that could be his undoing. The walls are closing in on him, he is not going to be able to persuade Elaine to invest in the factory, that is the first route he takes but she is having none of it.’
