Coronation Street star Todd Boyce reveals killer Stephen Reid’s next victim

CORONATION STREET star Todd Boyce reveals future for murderer Stephen Reid and if he will kill again.

The actor, 61, has loved retuning to the ITV soap as a completely different character.

He told The Sun: “He had so much innocence when he was in his 30s and just to play him at 62 with all these problems that have shaped him into the older man that he is is really interesting.”

With Jenny and Teddy still looking for answers about Leo disappearance, Stephen remains on edge.

Todd explained: “I love the episodes where he just kept popping up in the pub, trying to convince Jenny and Teddy to let it go.

“But for him there’s still that fear because there are those two people who are looking for Leo.

“That just keeps the whole fear of being caught alive and he’s always telling lies, his life is a whole series of lies now, imagine the pressure of trying to remember all those lies.”

Todd also teased Jenny as a his next potential love interest saying: “She is his type of woman. Gabrielle, his ex wife, is very strong. That is the sort of woman that he gravitates towards.

“Something happened when he found himself in that clinch with Jenny and yes he is definitely interested in her and if he was with her, there is the added bonus and if he was around her he could distract her from looking for Leo.”

This week, Stephen hits rock bottom and ends up working as a burger delivery guy.

Todd added: “He’s embarrassed and is determined that he must never ever be found out to be doing this.

“He just plans to get as many shifts as possible and get some cash to get him through, as he literally has nothing right now. He is desperate.”

He hits a new low when he “gets his mum a double gin and he plans to spike it too. This is the new norm for him, anything to protect himself. But has he really got what it takes to go through with it.”

“Then things go from bad to worse when he is on his first delivery and a gang of kids crowd around his scooter and steal the food delivery box.

“Elaine comes round the corner to find him on the floor, but it just looks like a normal scooter because there is no food box, which is a blessing in disguise.

“He is such a good liar he just spins this tale about having had a scooter in Milan and it is more eco-friendly than having a car.”

Will Stephen kill again?

Todd revealed: “I do think he is. He’s just driven. He’s a kind of type A personality and he’s just desperate and desperate people do desperate things.

“Now he has done it once, it won’t even feel as bad for him the next time, the end justifies the means.”
