Stephen steps up his plan as a return is confirmed in Corrie

Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) was very close to having his plan revealed in Monday’s (July 3) edition of Coronation Street, so he called on an old face for help.

The businessman is currently siphoning money from the Underworld accounts into one called Seagull Limited. Stephen is doing this as part of a life insurance plan surrounding Elaine (Paula Wilcox). He knows that if something was to happen to Elaine, he’d get himself a substantial amount of money as her next of kin.

This idea has been ticking along nicely for Stephen, up until a suspicious Carla (Alison King) recently grew curious about Seagull Ltd on the company accounts.

With Carla demanding a meeting, Stephen contacted Gabrielle (Helene Maksoud), his ex-wife, for help.

Gabrielle agreed and joined Carla for a zoom call, giving a convincing performance as Stephen watched from outside the factory office.

After very nearly being caught out by Sarah (Tina O’Brien), Stephen’s mind was put to rest when Carla apologised.

Back at the flat, as Stephen and Gabrielle laughed about their success, Elaine interrupted, back home after her tai chi class.

Ending the call with Gabrielle, Stephen was able to distract Elaine from any possible doubts by telling her that it’s high time they booked their wedding.

Once again, the truth about Stephen was very close to being revealed but the serial killer managed to save himself at the last moment.

Is there any hope his downfall is on the horizon?
