TIME is ticking for Stephen Reid and his downfall is closer than expected.
Ed and Ronnie Bailey make a macabre discovery next week on Coronation Street. Are the killer's lies finally unravelling?
Stephen Reid (portrayed by Todd Boyce) has been obsessed with Rovers landlady Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) for several months.
And in recent scenes of the ITV soap, she finally decided to give him a chance, completely discarding Elaine Jones' warnings.
The pair kissed and decided to leave the cobbles for a romantic getaway.
Next week, Stephen and Jenny are loved up as they return from Paris.

Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan) most recently betrayed his own brother Ed (Trevor Michael Georges), pushing him to take part in an estate plot and potentially triggering his gambling addiction.
Doing his best to mask his inner turmoil as he's fully aware one of his many crimes may have been uncovered, Stephen makes out he has a migraine.
