Coronation Street viewers have suggested that Stephen Reid could turn into a killer, as his rage increases.
He’s desperate for cash and it looks like nothing will stop him from getting what he wants.
Corrie boss, Iain Macleod recently revealed that Stephen is ‘dark and dangerous,’ so could this mean that he has what it takes to kill someone?
Well, some viewers certainly think so with fans have starting to predict his first victim!
Coronation Street: Stephen shocked as Gabrielle arrived
On Monday night’s episode (Monday, 5 September, 2022) Stephen’s wife Gabrielle turned up on the cobbles.
Shocking Stephen, Gabrielle demanded that he pay back the €200,000 that he stole from her business account.
If he didn’t, then she’d go to the police and expose him.
Viewers will have recently seen Stephen use Gabrielle’s debit card to pay for Audrey’s afternoon tea.
However, Gabrielle’s arrival revealed that he’s been stealing a lot more money that we first thought!
Will Stephen be able to pay her back?
Or, will he resort to extreme measures to get her off his back?
