The bride-to-be has no idea her fiancé has a plan
Stephen tries to convince everybody in the cobbles she’s contemplating suicide
Stephen Reid (played by Todd Boyce) has tried to convince whoever he could in the cobbles that Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) is spiralling out of control.
The serial killer even insists that Elaine could end her life in an attempt to hide his plans to get rid of her himself.
But in scenes airing next week on ITV, his mother Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) is surprised to see Elaine so upbeat.
He assures her that it’s all an act and he’s worried she might try and take her own life.
Elaine’s daughter-in-law Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) celebrates her birthday in the Bistro next week which prompts her to invite Gerry, her Tai-Chi instructor.
Stephen is less than impressed by Elaine’s decision but goes along with it.
In later scenes, Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine), Sally, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Ed Bailey (Trevor Michael Georges) attend Gerry’s Tai-Chi class.
Elaine appears to be in her element when Gerry suggests they all meet later for a bite to eat.Â
Will Stephen be able to make Elaine’s death look like a suicide?
Or will his plans be thwarted before he puts them into action?
As viewers of the Manchester-based program will know, Stephen already has three murders under his belt.
He has also pushed Carla Connor away from the Underworld factory by drugging her with LSD, thus making her believe she was relapsing into psychosis.
While he succeeded in getting her to give up her own business, Stephen has also had to face newcomer Owen who was a hopeful buyer of the knicker factory.
Stephen already got rid of Rufus Donahue, his latest victim, after the businessman was getting ready to take over the Underworld factory and get rid of him.
Could Elaine be his fourth victim?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
