CORONATION Street fans all have the same reaction after Carla Connor humiliated Stephen Reid tonight.
The businesswoman – who is played by actress Alison King in the ITV soap – discovered Stephen was working with Sarah and Michael on their new business using Underworld as a base.
Carla Connor got one over on everyone else tonight
There were worried looks as she said: ‘Feel free to move your business elsewhere’
When she caught him giving investor Rufus a tour of the factory, she realised something was going on and began investigating.
And when she heard from Peter that Rufus had done a big deal with Underworld, she knew Stephen had betrayed her and summoned him to a meeting.
She ambushed him with Rufus – and told him that she was redoing the contract for herself, cutting them out of it.
Sarah and Michael rushed into the factory with Adam for backup.
But Rufus was done with it and announced he was calling the deal off and was leaving.
When Stephen asked him to say, Carla snarked: “Oh you’re so desperate.”
As she took them through all the evidence of their using her business to build their own, she couldn’t help but take pleasure in taking them all down.
“Feel free to move your business elsewhere, nothing would give me greater pleasure,” Carla said.
“But any existing designs, including those that first attracted Rufus, stay with me.
“They were done on my premises, on my computers, on my time. But feel free to check your contracts and the terms of your employment, if you don’t believe me.
“Don’t mess with me guys, you know I always come out on top.”
Turning to stare directly at Stephen, she added: “Now please would you close the door on your way out.”
The serial killer looked furious at Carla’s humiliation – and viewers are convinced he will take revenge on her.
One wrote: “Carla don’t play. Love a strong Woman. But Stephen has now found his next Victim.
“I just hope Carla is the one who brings him down, cause his stay in Coronation Street is long overdue.”
Another said: “Serves Stephen right, but he gave Carla a bit of a killer look at the end!”
