Coronation Street looks set for explosive scenes as murderer Stephen Reid has been seen fleeing the cobbles and making a dramatic airport dash in new filming photos
Coronation Street looks set to air murderer Stephen Reid’s exit as new filming pictures see the cobbles killer fleeing Weatherfield and making a dramatic airport dash. In the snaps, it sees Stephen actor Todd Boyce on location as he is seen in character getting out of a taxi before heading to a desk to purchase a last minute ticket.
In the filming photos, a stressed Stephen looks without luggage, hinting that perhaps his trip to the airport wasn’t exactly planned, especially as he is buying a last minute airline ticket. Soap watchers will recall that Stephen has been on a killing spree, murdering Leo Thompkins, the latter’s father Teddy and Rufus Donahue. He has also terrorised Elaine Metcalfe and Carla Connor by secretly spiking them.
Only recently, filming photos showed the moment that a car rooftop box was removed from the canal as shocked residents looked on. Viewers will remember that Stephen used the item to dispose of Teddy’s body while other location snaps saw Stephen trying to kill Tim Metcalfe, who has always been wary of the businessman. It remains to be seen what happens after the rooftop box is discovered and whether Tim gets killed but the new airport filming photos tease that Stephen is perhaps rattled as he looks to make a last-minute escape.
The question is, where is Stephen heading to, could it be Canada, where he was raised? And with the discovery of the car rooftop box and an attack on Tim, could the police be shortly following behind so the murderer finally gets his comeuppance or will he be able to escape in time?
