Coronation Street killer Stephen Reid panics next week as he realises that he made a big mistake with the Rufus Donahue murder cover-up.

Stephen worries that the walls are closing in after a highly revealing conversation with Rufus' grieving wife Lou.

The scheming villain drugged and drowned Rufus at the businessman's home in April. He managed to get away with the crime, as Rufus' demise was treated as an accident.

Next week, Lou arrives at Underworld and announces that the inquest report into Rufus' death is due out imminently.

Lou reveals that she suspects foul play and has already contacted the Weatherfield Gazette to air her thoughts.

Stephen tries his best to seem unworried, but he soon starts scouring the internet to read press reports about Rufus' demise.

Lou's theories all come to nothing when the coroner reports that Rufus died by misadventure.

Stephen is unsettled when Lou refuses to let go of her beliefs, insisting that Rufus' mysterious drowning still doesn't make sense. He urges Lou to see that it was a tragic accident.

Later in the week, Stephen puts on a show of support for Lou by attending Rufus' memorial.

Stephen struggles to keep his composure when Rufus' son Jools makes an emotional speech about his late father.

The schemer's day gets worse when Lou shows him a bag of Rufus' belongings, which were found by the side of the swimming pool.

Lou explains that a tie-pin was collected at the scene, but she knows that it didn't belong to Rufus.

Stephen recognises the pin as his own and is horrified when Lou vows to show it to the police. Could this lead to the investigation being re-opened?
