Coronation Street shock for Stephen as Leo's fate could be revealed

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

The latest killer on the Cobbles has cause to be nervous in scenes to air on Coronation Street next week – as it looks like their murderous secret could be on the verge of being exposed.

Viewers know that Audrey’s son, Stephen, pushed poor old Leo from the roof of the factory into a skip – and to his death – and then disposed of the body afterwards.

Weatherfield residents have assumed that Leo has simply left town, with none of them, including Jenny, having any idea that he has been murdered.

While Stephen hopes that his secret will never be exposed in his own lifetime, it looks as though he may be on thin ice – as people begin to grow suspicious about what actually happened to Leo when he vanished.

What to Read Next

Jenny voices her disappointment that she has not heard from Leo since he left – she's assumed he has gone to Canada.

While Stephen offers Jenny fake sympathy, she's left to assume that Leo has met somebody else and already moved on – which is exactly what Stephen wants her to think so that she doesn’t keep asking questions.

But questions soon follow when Leo's dad Teddy gets in touch, and reveals that he has not seen or heard from him since before he supposedly left town.

Growing concerned, Teddy suggests to Jenny and Stephen that it's now time they got in touch with the police so Leo can officially be recorded as a missing person.

Stephen tries to hide his concern, and he's left thinking that the walls may begin to close in on him if the police start sniffing around.

Will Leo's death, and Stephen's involvement come to light, and will Stephen claim another victim in the near future? As we've learned from the likes of Pat Phelan and Richard Hillman, Corrie's killers they rarely stop at one victim…

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
