Fans of Coronation Street have predicted serial killer Stephen Reid’s next victim, following scenes on last night’s episode of the soap (April 28). Could Stephen strike again?
Last week, it was revealed that Stephen had murdered business rival Rufus, by drowning him in his own swimming pool. He also grew closer to Elaine, who is desperate for them to be married and move into their apartment together.
As blackmailers strike, Tim gets on Stephen’s nasty side
Last night’s episode saw Stephen being blackmailed by two youths who claimed to know that he killed Rufus. After sending him an anonymous letter, they intercepted him in the street and demanded £10k for their silence.
With the pressure already piled high, Stephen then came into conflict with future son-in-law Tim. Tim was left furious after learning that Elaine and Stephen are set to be married.
Sitting down in the Rovers with Stephen for a chat, Tim revealed his displeasure. He told Stephen that he would rather die than let him marry his mum.
Tim’s interference led some fans to wonder whether this could put Tim on Stephen’s hit list. Will Stephen kill Tim next?

As the episode aired, Corrie viewers took to Twitter to react to Stephen and Tim’s ominous interaction. As their conversation played out, some wondered whether the show was foreshadowing Tim’s death.
“Tim: Over my dead body,” quoted one fan. “He really does like taunting the spectre of death, doesn’t he?” said one fan.

“Tim, calm down or you’ll be on Stephen’s hit list,” warned another.

“Tim will be sleeping with the fishes or shopping trolleys down the local canal if it messes with Stephen’s inheritance,” pointed out another.

This tense conversation comes amidst a stressful time for Stephen. Could he be pressured to kill again?
Could Tim Metcalfe be next?
Stephen has already proved himself capable of murder. So far he has been responsible for the deaths of Leo Thompkins, Leo’s dad Teddy and businessman Rufus Donahue. Should Tim get in the way of Stephen and Elaine’s money, then he could find himself in mortal peril.
Will Tim be Stephen’s next victim… or his undoing?
