Should Carla be worried about Stephen?
Stephen goes to great lengths to seal a deal
Most recently Stephen went behind Carla’s back to give his niece Sarah (Tina O’Brien) a space to work on her side business – has Stephen finally ran out of chances?
Stephen was tasked to seal a deal with businessman man Rufus in Monday’s episode of the ITV soap.
He resorted to blackmail in order to get the contract signed.
Viewers know the extreme lengths Stephen will go to to get what he wants after murdering Leo and Teddy.
He has also lied to his family about his financial situation gone to great lengths to keep it hidden.
Carla appears to be the only resident on the street that can see through Stephen and order him around… for now.
Could Carla be Stephen’s next victim?
When Carla asks how Stephen got Rufus onside, he replied: “I can be very persuasive when I need to be.”
Seeing through Stephen’s charm, Carla issues him a chilling warning.
She began: “Well credit where credit’s due… you did well. Considering you messed it up in the first place.”
Stephen added: “Well let’s just say I have the habit of always coming out on top.”
Carla answered: “Word of warning Stephen. Don’t take me on. I’m telling ya you don’t want to make an enemy out of me.”
To which Stephen responded: “I wouldn’t dream of it. But thanks for the advice.”
Fans fear for Carla’s life as the business people declare war.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: “This is so bad.”
Another wrote: “Oh no, Carla.”
Stephen actor Todd Boyce teased: “He really wants to harm her business and her reputation and he has no qualms about what he’s planning to do.”
Upcoming scenes will see Stephen resort to some desperate and dangerous tactics.
He will lace her tea with LSD aiming convince people that Carla’s psychosis has returned, leaving him the space to swoop in and take over the factory.
But Stephen is nearly caught in the act when Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) is absolutely bewildered to see an ‘up himself’ Stephen making everyone a brew.
Little does he know the sinister reason behind his generosity.
As Sean mocks him for being demoted to office manager, Stephen offers a chilling warning to stay on his good side.
Will Sean be Stephen’s next target?
