Coronation Street fans fear for Stu Carpenter after ‘spotting’ sinister link to Stephen Reid

CORONATION Street fans are convinced newcomer sneaky Stephen Reid could be the killer of Stu Carpenter's ex.

The former homeless man was arrested last week after Yasmeen discovered Stu killed a woman 27 years ago and was left totally heartbroken by his lies.

He revealed he had an affair behind his ex-wife Lucy's back when the woman was found dead making him the prime suspect.

However, viewers are getting more and more suspicions of Stephen after his arrival onto the cobbles.

He has taken secret phone calls and using someone else's bank card for a phone transaction.

The mystery woman is called Gabrielle Reid.

Fans predict he is going to con Audrey out of all her money or swindle Yasmeen and blame it on Stu or could even be the killer of Stu's ex.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Did Stephen kill his ex-wife??? #corrie."

Another wrote: "Stephen is the killer... That Stu went down for! #corrie."

A third penned: "I hope Audrey doesn’t let Stephen have hold of the trust fund."

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