Paula Wilcox has revealed her funny response to those fans of Coronation Street who warn her about killer Stephen Reid.

The actress plays Elaine Jones on the programme, who has embarked in a relationship with serial killer Stephen Reid, played by Todd Boyce. So far, Elaine knows nothing about what Stephen has done and who he has killed so far.

He started off by murdering Leo, after he found out Stephen was trying to fleece Audrey of her inheritance, whilst he also killed Leo's dad Teddy when he got close to the truth. Stephen also murdered his business associate Rufus.

Many fans are convinced that Elaine could be the next one to die, after Stephen signed her up for life insurance without her knowledge. However, she has a hilarious response to those who question her about her character's trusting nature.

Asked if fans question her about Stephen, she told The Mirror and other press: "They do, They say things like, ‘You need to stay away from that Stephen!’ or women will tell me how bad he is! But I respond as Elaine would. I always say ‘No he’s lovely, charming and a very nice man - kind and polite.'"

As far as Elaine knows, Stephen is a "very presentable, intelligent and smart" man.

She added: "Elaine hasn't seen that side of his character yet, he’s charming because he wants something out of her. Her story is very sad because of the coercive control that she went through with Geoff. It scared her off relationships, but by finding Tim and family around her, she’s suddenly feeling safe again.

"Coronation Street is quite a community so she has friends around her, she's good friends with Yasmine and has a real sense of security and well-being. Stephen is very presentable, intelligent, smart and appears to be quite gentle. She’s fallen for him hook, line, and sinker, and is focused on this future with him."
