KILLER STEPHEN'S NEXT MURDER VICTIM CONFIRMED IN CORRIE

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) is a desperate man in Coronation Street. So desperate in fact, he’s prepared to kill Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) in order to get all of her money.

The factory co-owner recently set up a life-insurance policy for his partner which now means that if she dies, Stephen will get a substantial amount of money as her next of kin.

Things aren’t exactly straightforward for him though as this week, Carla (Alison King) will reveal her plan to sell her shares, putting Stephen in a tricky position given that he’s been running the place since Carla left for her mental health.

In the week, unaware that Stephen has replaced her blood pressure pills with caffeine pills, Elaine starts feeling jittery and exhausted.

As the day progresses, Elaine admits that she doesn’t feel well so Stephen decides to pop out and get some food.

Alone and overcome by dizziness, Elaine stumbles and hits her head and when Stephen returns, he finds his partner unconscious and on the floor.

‘He is genuinely shocked and there is a moment when it looks like her is going to revive her’, Todd Boyce revealed.

‘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…’
