STEPHEN Reid continues his misdeeds next week, desperate to remain at the helm of the Underworld factory.
The Coronation Street serial killer turns to taking deadly action once again when he doesn't get his way.
Todd Boyce's ITV alter ego has three murders under his belt and isn't afraid to make a new one.
In recent scenes of the Manchester-based program, he decided to embark on a romance with Elaine Metcalfe (Paula Wilcox), and even proposed to her.
Little does she know he had accidentally spiked himself with LSD after trying to drug Carla Connor (Alison King) in an attempt to get his hands on the Underworld factory.
Despite being under the influence of LSD when he proposed, Stephen kept his word and remains by Elaine's side – all in an effort to get wealthy.

But Elaine is in mortal danger next week when Stephen is desperate to buy Carla's share of Underworld with her money.
It all begins when Owen (Ben Hull) strides over to Stephen and reveals that after a frank discussion with Jenny Connor, they’d both like to know why he told them each a pack of lies.
As Stephen scratches about for a plausible reason, Owen tells him that once he takes over the factory, he'll be out of a job.
Stephen warns Carla against selling the factory but she insists that she has to for the sake of her mental health.

Carla has no clue she was drugged by Stephen earlier this year and believed, much like her husband Peter Barlow, that she was having another psychotic episode.
Stephen kicks himself, knowing his actions have led him straight towards an impass.
The frustrations of the day getting the better of him, Stephen trashes the factory floor.
Arriving to witness his meltdown, Michael Bailey (Ryan Russell) wonders what’s going on.
Unpacking in their new flat, Stephen suggests again to Elaine that they should buy Carla’s share of the business.
When Elaine snaps at him and spells out that she will never invest a penny in the factory and they should simply enjoy their retirement, Stephen masks his fury.
In later scenes, the villain hatches a plan that could make Elaine his fourth victim in Weatherfield.
Unaware that Stephen has replaced her blood pressure pills with caffeine pills, Elaine’s exhausted and jittery.
