WHILE his finances are clearly on the decline, Stephen Reid is willing to resort to any means to get some spare cash.
Next week in Coronation Street, the businessman finds a new target in the form of Rovers landlady Jenny Connor.
Stephen Reid sets his sights on someone new next week
He’s determined to avoid bankruptcy
But could his kiss with Jenny Connor wreak more havoc than expected?
Upon his return to the cobbles, Stephen (portrayed by Todd Boyce) caught the eye of Elaine Metcalfe after saving his mother Audrey from a sad fate.
However, he soon turned his sights to Speed Daal co-owner Yasmeen Metcalfe.
Unfortunately for him, Yasmeen only has eyes for Stu Carpenter, prompting Stephen to be on the lookout for another rich woman to take advantage of.
Unlike many residents in the Street, viewers know Stephen is having money issues and is even willing to go as far as to steal from his mother to avoid bankruptcy.
Coming up, Stephen turns all of his attention on to Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) without a care in the world for her relationship with Leo Thompkins (Joe Frost).
It all begins in the pub when Sarah and Stephen pour over their business plan.
When he finds out from his niece that Jenny is the sole owner of the Rovers, Stephen knows she must be at ease financially and his interest is immediately piqued.
He turns on the charm and flirts with a tipsy Jenny who ends up inviting him through the back and handing him a drink.
Things escalate between them and the pair kiss passionately.
But matters could get worse when Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) walks in with Leo – will they find Jenny and Stephen in a clinch?
Meanwhile, Leo has to prove Jenny is the one for him after he passes up the opportunity for a fresh start in Canada.
Next week, he takes up a labouring job with Ed Bailey but is clearly sour about being stuck in Weatherfield.
Jenny feels guilty and tells him she doesn’t want to stand in between him and his dreams.
When he gets a pep talk from both Gemma and Rita Tanner, Leo decides to return to Jenny holding an engagement ring.
Could Stephen thwart his plans?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV.
