STEPHEN Reid’s spiking Carla secret is threatened to be exposed – will they be his next victim?

Next week on the ITV soap, Peter is surprised to discover that Stephen is in charge of the factory and accuses the staff of betraying Carla.

Rufus blackmails Stephen

Should Rufus be worried?

Peter has some bad news for Carla

Just as Stephen is about to sign an American contract, Rufus intervenes and demands that he tear it up, as he wants exclusive rights to Nippersnapper.

Rufus threatens to expose how he has been drugging Carla if Stephen doesn’t comply.

Furious, Stephen grabs a hole punch and confronts Rufus.

Will Rufus be his next victim?

Stephen’s first victim Leo was murdered after a confrontation over Stephen’s fraudulent activities. 

He was pushed off a balcony and then found lifeless in a factory bin before Stephen dragged his body into a van.

Then Leo’s dad Teddy arrived on the street looking for his son.

Stephen tried to get Teddy to give up his search – but failed.

After Teddy called Stephen out for murdering his son and trying to cover it up, Stephen ended up hitting Teddy over the head with a hole puncher.

He then put his body in his mum Audrey’s roof box.

Could Stephen shrike again?

Later in the week, Stephen deceives Sarah by falsely claiming that the Americans have backed out of the contract.

Meanwhile, Peter informs Carla that the factory workers have elected Stephen as their new leader.

With Stephen and Carla’s feud far from over, what will Carla do next?

Also on the cobbles, Nick’s horrified to find Damon sitting at his desk.

Damon menacingly reminds Nick that he still has a financial interest in the business and reveals he’s hired a new solicitor who Nick might have heard of.

Nick fumes at Adam for agreeing to act on behalf of Damon.

Horrified, Sarah rows with Adam and announces that she’s off to the hotel he booked for their date night on her own.

As Damon orders a drink in the hotel bar, Sarah parks herself next to him, unaware who he is.

Damon chats her up as Sarah admits she’s had a row with her husband.

A tipsy Sarah then invites Damon up to her room for a drink. 

Will Sarah cheat on her husband Adam?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1.
