Coronation Street fans have been left fearing for one character as they ‘figure out’ Stephen Reid’s next victim.

Coronation Street: Stephen Reid’s return

Stephen returned to the cobbles earlier this year but it soon became clear to viewers that the businessman was facing financial troubles.

He had stolen money from his ex-wife Gabrielle and she was demanding money he pay her back.

When Leo Thompkins discovered that Stephen planned on using the equity on Audrey’s house to pay back Gabrielle, Stephen and Leo got into a fight which resulted in Leo being murdered.

Stephen covered Leo’s death up but has continued to let his family think that he is doing fine financially.

This week Stephen took a job for a fast food delivery service but quit pretty quickly.

However when he realised he would need to pay for Audrey and Sam’s trip, he begged for his job back.

Fans fearful as they ‘figure out’ Stephen’s next victim

In last night’s episode (Wednesday, November 30) Stephen was out delivering food when a group of teenagers took his delivery box and phone.

As he saw Tim’s mum, Elaine, walking up the road, he sped off but came off his moped.

Elaine found him and called the ambulance.

She waited with him in the hospital and insisted she call his family.

However Stephen begged her not to tell Audrey.

Elaine insisted that he stay the night at hers so she can keep an eye on him.

Stephen lied to Elaine that he was in Bolton for a work meeting.

Later Elaine told Stephen about her plans to sell her house as she wanted a smaller place closer to Tim and Faye.

But fans think that Elaine will be Stephen’s next victim as he will try and take her money and then kill her.
