Coronation Street is set for explosive scenes next week as cobbles killer Stephen Reid finally looks set to be exposed as a dead body is found.
The desperate businessman, played by actor Todd Boyce, has killed three people so far — Jenny Connor's fiancé Leo Thompkins, the latter's father Teddy and Rufus Donahue. Stephen also attempted to kill Elaine Metcalfe, secretly spiked Carla Connor with LSD and even forged a paternity letter for his niece Sarah Barlow — to name a few of his evil schemes!
In upcoming episodes, Ed Bailey makes a grisly discovery at the building site after he notices that the digger driver looks troubled and hurries over to take a look. Ronnie Bailey then arrives at the building site to see Ed talking to a uniformed Craig Tinker. And it's not long until Ronnie peers into the hole where the digger has unearthed a dead body.

A grisly discovery is made at the building site, is the end near for Stephen? (ITV)Last month, filming snaps saw the cobbles killer fleeing Weatherfield and making a dramatic airport dash, where he purchased a last minute ticket. In the photos, a stressed Stephen looked to be without luggage, hinting that perhaps his trip to the airport wasn't exactly planned.
While different filming snaps have seen the moment that a car rooftop box is removed from the canal as shocked residents look on — viewers will remember that Stephen used the item to dispose of Teddy's body — while other location snaps see Stephen trying to kill Tim Metcalfe, who has always been wary of the businessman.
With a plethora of explosive scenes set to air in coming weeks, it still remains to be seen if and how Stephen leaves the cobbles....
