Coronation Street fans all have the same complaint as Stephen Reid kills again
CORONATION Street fans all have the same complaint after his latest killing was revealed.
The serial killer – who is played by actor Todd Boyce in the ITV soap – is racking up quite the victim list and he added to it again this week secretly.
He has already killed Leo Thompkins to keep his money troubles a secret.
And then he was forced to kill Leo’s dad Teddy after he discovered the truth about what happened to his son.
He’s also drugged Carla Connor to induce a mental health crisis, and take over Underworld.
This week Stephen finally murdered again – by drowning business associate Rufus in the pool of his rented mansion.
But in a horror twist his latest murder was revealed via flashback as he told Michael Bailey about how to succeed in business.
“First things first, keeping it simple, you identify your target,” he said to Michael, seemingly about business but really about how he has been killing.
“And when you’ve done that, you take the initiative, you don’t wait for them to come to you.
“Once you’ve got an in, you work it. You say whatever you need to reel them in.”
He added: “You’ve heard of the dark arts? This is where it might get a bit morally ambiguous. But after that it’s just a question of sticking the landing.
“Playing out the end game. You let them think they’re still in control, that they still have the advantage.
“But all the time you’re manoeuvring them into the perfect position and then, only when everything feels right, when you know you have absolute control, you strike.
“After that it’s just a case of holding your nerve and not backing down. In business there’s only ever one winner.”
But the creepy comments have left fans with a major complaint about the killer storyline.
One wrote: “Rufus should’ve known he’d put that in his drink.”
A second said: “Dear lord this is awful.”
Another added: “Now why would Rufus leave his glass unattended around him?”
