Stephen Reid has been getting closer to Elaine Metcalfe (played by Paula Wilcox) but her son Tim (Joe Duttine) begins to sense that her feelings are not reciprocated.

The failing businessman portrayed by Todd Boyce is trying his best to keep his financial worries and villainous behaviour under wraps.

But he may be forced to kill again and, this time, somebody very close to home could become a target.

While Tim grows suspicious of Stephen, the latter calls at No.8 with the gift Elaine gave him.

David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) immediately assumes the gift is for his birthday - but he's underwhelmed to discover a hip flask.

When he shows it to his mother Gail Platt (Helen Worth), he brands it a very stingy present from somebody who is supposedly wealthy.

Gail later spots Elaine buying a bottle of whisky for Stephen's hip flask and voices her suspicions to Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).

Elaine hands over the whisky to Stephen and Gail drops a bombshell - she's spoken to his estranged wife Gabrielle and he has some serious explaining to do.
