Stephen Reid's next victim revealed in Coronation Street scenes | The Sun
WITH two murders under his belt, Stephen Reid is becoming just as blood-thirsty as he is money-hungry.
The villain could be bumped up to the rank of serial killer next week as his next victim is revealed in Coronation Street.
The struggling businessman portrayed by Canadian actor Todd Boyce has become a growing cause for concern in Weatherfield.
Upon his first arrival, however, he immediately caught the eye of Elaine Metcalfe (Paula Wilcox) who has been pining over him for months.
Meanwhile, Stephen turned his own sights to his own targets – Yasmeen Nazir (who, unfortunately for him, is already committed to Stu Carpenter) and Jenny Connor.
But romance hasn't been the main thing on his mind as he's mostly been desperate to save himself from bankruptcy.

In most recent scenes, Stephen hatched a plan to get revenge on Underworld boss Carla Connor as he spiked her cups of tea with liquid LSD – before everything backfired on him.
While Stephen has been busy wreaking havoc in the ITV cobbles, Elaine has remained supportive and patient, determined to get her hands on the man of her dreams.
Her wishes seemingly became a reality when Stephen agreed to move in with her and even get (secretly) engaged.
But in scenes due to air next week, things could slowly be taking a murderous turn for Elaine as she's blissfully unaware that Stephen has also murdered both Leo and Teddy Thompkins when they got too close to the truth behind his schemes.
