Coronation Street star Todd Boyce looks totally unrecognisable after getting killed off in the ITV soap.
Stephen Reid was brutally axed from the show last month after all his shady lies and murders came to light. The character ended up on the run from police after his friends and neighbours found out he had murdered three people. Businessman Stephen's villainous actions finally came to an end when Peter Barlow ran him over.
He left Weatherfield being carried away in a body bag by an ambulance team. Since leaving the Cobbles, actor Todd has updated fans on his latest role. Taking to Instagram Todd shared a snap of himself looking worlds away from his Corrie days. He posed with his hands on his hips in a sheriff uniform and showed off his long locks and grown out beard.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, Todd told us: "The last week of November I start rehearsals for panto, which runs the last three weeks of December. And then Bill Kenwright, who was famously an actor in Corrie before he became a massive theatre producer, has just offered me — without even blinking — the Laurence Olivier part in Sleuth.
"That's going to be a tour starting in Windsor and doing a tour around London, and then coming to The Lowry here [in Salford]. That's going to take me through to the end of June so I'm dead excited about that."
He also shared how he was "thrilled" with his final Corrie storyline. Speaking about his exit from the show, he confessed he was "sad" to leave but could not love his exit storyline any more. He told The Mirror: "It's sad on the one hand but also gratifying because there is closure, and it's an arc of almost 28 years. I started in my 30s, I'm now in my 60s. I've had three goes and my final go was just a gift from heaven and God, truly, I couldn’t wish for anything more exciting than to be given Stephen, and just good writing. I'm sad but there's a feeling of gratification."
On his last day of filming, he added: "It was great, it wasn't emotional until the entire building came into the studio to give me gifts and say lovely words, and I managed to keep it together. My penultimate scene was with Sue Nicholls which was fantastic as we worked together 28 years ago. She’s a lot like my real mother in many senses so I've always felt very much like her son and she's a great friend, so that was very special. I'm glad we had that, exploring Stephen and Audrey's relationship."
