Coronation Street fans were far from impressed with Friday’s edition of the ITV soap, as the resident cobbles villain Stephen Reid claimed the life of another character. In a flashback scene, viewers at home were shown the exact moment Stephen murdered his business rival Rufus Donahue, after Rufus had been blackmailing him into handing over 50% of the profits from Underworld’s new venture Nippersnapper.

Keen to use this information as leverage, Rufus had been hoping to take Stephen for all he was worth, but in Friday’s twist, it was revealed that the villain was one step ahead.
Meeting Rufus at his home, Stephen feigned defeat as he agreed to his foe’s terms to hand over the massive stake in the business, however as the duo toasted their new arrangement, Stephen began to get Rufus drunk with drink after drink. With his senses dulled, Stephen even took things one step further and drugged his business rival with LSD, before pushing him into the swimming pool and holding him under water until he drowned.The gruesome death marked the third kill made by Stephen in recent weeks, and fans at home were less than impressed by the far fetched storyline and how dark it had become.
