Stephen Reid from Coronation Street has killed three people, and it now appears that there may be more in danger.
Stephen Reid from Coronation Street, played by Todd Boyce, has terrorised the cobblestone streets and left a trail of death in his wake.
Three victims have now been killed by the serial killer, and it appears that there will be more tragic deaths at his hands.
Stephen appeared to be innocent when he first appeared on the popular ITV serial, but he was hiding a terrible secret.
He turned to horrible deeds in an attempt to keep up his façade as he battled crushing debts that threatened to reveal his extravagant lifestyle.
Leo Thompkins (Joe Frost), the partner of Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews), who had learned of Stephen’s scheme to steal money from Audrey’s (Sue Nicholls) inheritance, became his first victim.

Tensions rose when they were confronted on the balcony outside of Underworld, leading to a deadly brawl. Tragically, Leo’s life was cut short, and Stephen dumped the body by throwing it in a wheelie bin.
Insights into Stephen’s thought process were offered by actor Todd Boyce, who revealed that his character never planned to become a murderer.
“It’s probably like everyone in the world,” he remarked. I’ve believed all my life that killing someone is the worst thing we could possibly do.
“With these secrets, he is so by himself. Given that he wasn’t the murderer, I believe he is experiencing guilt. He just so happens to have murdered a person.
But after Stephen unintentionally killed Teddy Thompkins (Grant Burgin), Leo’s father, his spiral into evil deepened. Teddy confronted Stephen about what he knew after escaping a near-fatal collision.
Teddy posed a challenge to Stephen’s neatly woven web of falsehoods when he discovered that Leo had not actually travelled to Canada as claimed.

Stephen brutally beat Teddy with a hole puncher in his office, then quickly altered with the CCTV to cover up his crime.
As Stephen’s role in Rufus’ (Steven Meo) death reemerges, the suspenseful plot twists once more. When Lou, Rufus’ widow, reappears, she is sceptical of her husband’s death and believes that foul play was involved (Eleanor Howell).
She keeps asking Stephen questions and he feels like he is being watched. Rufus drowned at Stephen’s hands during a claimed “business” meeting, meeting a watery grave.
But Stephen’s carefully crafted façade might be in danger of coming tumbling down due to a possible piece of evidence that was left behind.
The citizens of Weatherfield are in dire peril as the death toll climbs. There is much speculation; some believe that Stephen will target Rufus’ wife Lou as his next victim, while others believe that he will target Tim (Joe Duttine), Elaine’s (Paula Wilcox) son.
