Coronation Street: Stephen Reid’s return
Early this year, Stephen returned to the cobbles, and it soon became obvious that he was keeping his financial woes from his family.
Stephen killed Leo Thompkins when he learned of his scheme to recoup the money he had stolen from his ex-wife Gabrielle using the equity in Audrey’s home.
Leo’s fiance Jenny and his father Teddy thought he traveled to Canada alone.
Stephen has been looking for ways to make money in the interim.
He started working for SixFellas, a food delivery business, but was let go after crashing his bike.
Elaine discovered him after the incident, but Stephen informed her that he was having financial problems as a result of his controlling and abusive ex-wife Gabrielle.
In the meantime, Stephen has made financial promises to his mother Audrey and niece Sarah.

He revealed to Jenny that he knew something new about Leo.
Teddy informed Stephen that Leo’s text was not sent from Canada when they were walking down the street.
It originated in Weatherfield. Teddy observed Stephen becoming anxious.
Teddy then accused Stephen of being responsible for Leo’s disappearance and pointed the finger at him.

With Jenny, Stephen visited Leo in the hospital.
Stephen got ready to turn off his computer when Teddy and he were left alone.

Stephen offered to negotiate and said he needed £10k by tomorrow night.
When he accepted, Stephen informed him that after receiving the money, he would permanently depart the UK and that he would never hear from him or anybody else again.
