Coronation Street fans have been glued to their screens over the past few weeks as they try to work out who will be Stephen Reid’s next victim.
The murderous Canadian (played by Todd Boyce) has certainly made his mark on the famous ITV cobbles – having already taken the lives of Teddy and Leo Thompkins.
But in recent weeks, the businessman’s devilish scheme has started to unravel by his fellow colleagues at Underworld.

Now fans believe it’s only a matter of time before the killer will take his next victim, with viewers speculating about which famous face will meet a cruel end online.
However, Stephen's not the only conman to have taken over the street this year, with many eagle-eyed fans questioning the killer’s on-screen wife Gabrielle Reid (Helene Maksoud).
The brunette beauty took the programme by storm when she visited the cobbles last September after she managed to track down her scheming husband to Weatherfield.
Although she only had a short stint on the show, Gabrielle demanded €200,000 which he stole from her months before he moved to the town.
But this isn’t the actress’s first stint on the on the long-running soap after she previously played the role of May Radfield – the wife of conman Duncan Layfield – back in 2019.
She made several appearances in early 2019 where she was involved in a scam that saw the husband-and-wife duo pretend that she had passed away so they could receive cash to fund private medical care overseas.
As May loved in Costa Rica, Duncan made his way to the cobbles to try and collect the remaining money, targeting poor Sally Metcalfe.
Unfortunately, the fraudster managed to swindle an eye-watering £40,000 out of the fan-favourite character after she fell for his charms.
The pair had planned the scam out perfectly, and even set Sal up for the crime which saw her spend a brief stint behind bars.
But things quickly took a turn for the worse when Duncan was hit by a van and rushed to Weatherfield hospital under a false name.
