Coronation Street reveals another possible victim for Stephen Reid

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street has revealed that the villainous Stephen Reid could be lining up another potential victim.

The businessman has committed a series of murders over the past few months, with the serial killer recently drowning business rival Rufus Donahue after an attempted blackmail plot.

The most recent developments have seen Stephen and Tim Metcalfe engage in a war of words, after Stephen got engaged to the latter's mother, Elaine.

These tensions will continue in scenes that air next week, but Stephen will have his gaze directed towards business contact Owen. The new recruit is spotted flirting with Jenny, whom Stephen has held a soft spot for despite his engagement to Elaine.

What to Read Next

With Owen now getting closer to Jenny, could Stephen become jealous and take matters into his own by continuing his killing spree?

The serial killer has grown more maniacal as his body count has risen over the last several months. While he killed Leo Thompkins by accident, he later murdered Leo's father Teddy to prevent the truth from coming out.

Stephen most recently killed off business rival Rufus by dosing him with LSD and then drowning him in his own swimming pool.

The use of LSD has become a signature for Stephen, as he also used it to drug Carla and take control of the Underworld factory by making her believe she was having a mental health episode.

The drug has had some negative consequences for Stephen as well because he only agreed to marry Elaine because he'd accidentally spiked his own drink with the powerful hallucinogen.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
