Coronation Street killer Stephen Reid has found his next target. Images from the set of the ITV soap have shown that the killer will go after Tim Metcalfe next, after his mum Elaine recently called off her engagement to Stephen.
In one image, Stephen, played by Todd Boyce, is seen trying to strangle 'Tim' (actually actor Joe Duttine's stunt double) with a tie whilst he drives his car. Another behind-the-scenes shot shows Boyce posing with Duttine and the stunt double for a promo shot.
It's no surprise that Stephen would go after Tim, as last month the pair were involved in a violent brawl after Tim discovered that his mum's fianc? had forged life insurance documents in her name.
During the pair's scuffle, Stephen suffered a head injury which led to him being hospitalised and rushed into emergency surgery. Tim was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, but later released without charge.
When Stephen woke up he told police he had simply fallen and hit his head, meaning Tim was off the hook for good.
But despite Stephen lying to the police to protect her son, Elaine wasn't willing to take him back and she soon announced she'd be leaving Weatherfield temporarily to stay with a friend in order to get over the split.
Earlier this month Boyce spoke about how much fun he's been having playing the soap villain.
"I feel exhilarated more than exhausted, because it's just been so much fun," he told Inside Soap. "I love Corrie so much ? I'm such a huge fan. I grew up in Australia and it was always on ? it was really popular when I was a teenager there.
"I knew the characters, the cobbles, the world. I moved to the UK in 1989 ? since I was cast [as Stephen] in 1996, I've only ever missed an episode when I've been travelling. It's just a world that I love, and I pinch myself every day that I drive through the gates."
