Coronation Street spoilers for next week have revealed the net closing in on killer Stephen Reid.
But could it be his unsuspected niece Sarah who stumbles on the truth about her murderous uncle?
Killer habit!
Stephen has two victims to his name now – Leo and Leo’s dad, Teddy.
He killed Leo when the suspicious surveyor started digging into Stephen’s financial affairs and began to think – correctly as it turned out – that Mr Reid was planning to fleece his mum Audrey out of her life savings.
So far, Stephen’s got away with that murder, thanks to a lot of ducking and diving, and Leo having arranged a new job in Canada.
Teddy in danger in Coronation Street spoilers
But when Teddy – Leo’s dad – turned up in Weatherfield at Christmas time, Stephen was horrified. And things got even trickier when Teddy revealed that he’d been to Canada and there was no sign of Leo ever having travelled there.
Leo had sent messages from his phone, telling Jenny and Teddy to leave him alone, though of course viewers know that the real sender of those messages was Stephen.
He thought he’d been pretty clever using that tactic to get Jenny and Teddy to back off, so when Teddy also revealed he knew the messages had been sent from Weatherfield, Stephen was shocked.
Fortunately – for Stephen, not poor Teddy – it was at that moment Teddy stepped into the road and was mown down.
Ouch!
Memory loss
Teddy suffered from amnesia about the moments before his accident for weeks, and just as his memory was returning, Stephen struck again!
When Teddy threatened to go to the police, Stephen whacked him over the head and killed him!

Has Teddy’s murder been caught on camera?
Sarah decides to check what’s on the video and get it deleted.
