Stephen Reid from Coronation Street is about to be exposed for killing Leo and Teddy Thompkins, but will he also be brought to justice for the other crimes he has committed since his return?
Carla Connor from Coronation Street, played by Alison King, is determined to expose Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) after learning the truth about her recent mental health breakdown.
A few months ago, Stephen was determined to take over Underworld and become the only owner. He wanted to do this by ejecting Carla from the company.
Carla walked away from Underworld and returned to rehab after he drugged her with LSD to mimic the effects of her previous psychosis breakdown after learning about it.
However, after recovering and going back to work, official ITV spoilers indicate that Carla is prepared to learn the truth and run the risk of disclosing every one of Stephen’s sinister secrets.
Carla will soon see a letter from the clinic confirming that they did indeed discover LSD traces in her hair sample.
Concerned, she tells Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) she thinks it was Rufus Donahue (Steve Meo), but after checking the dates of her illness, something doesn’t add up.
Later in the factory, Carla grimaces as she takes a sip of a coffee made by Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell).
He soon apologises and points out that normally Stephen or Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien) make the coffee, leaving her to freeze as the truth dawns.
Furious and not afraid of him, Carla drags Stephen into the office and reveals she knows he spiked her drinks with LSD and is going to prove it.
Sarah is visibly uncomfortable and unsure of who to believe—her boss or her uncle—as she storms out.
Carla (Vicky Myers), who is driven to discover the truth, confides in DS Swain (Vicky Myers) her suspicions, but is dismayed by DS Swain’s insistence that she needs more solid proof because it is only speculation.
How will Carla obtain the proof necessary to have Stephen punished for drugging her? Will she unearth the horror of Stephen’s other crimes as she searches for the truth?
Sarah overhears Stephen discussing moving to Thailand with Jenny Connor (Sally-Ann Matthews) in another location on the cobblestones.
