Michael lost his job after Stephen's stealing came to light, which left him struggling to support himself and his daughter.

Hot on the heels of Coronation Street villain Stephen Reid’s death which took viewers by surprise at the culmination of super soap week, fans are convinced another cobbles icon could soon be killed off after almost 60 years on the show!

In gripping scenes that unfolded on Friday 13 October’s visit to Weatherfield, viewers were on the edges of their seats as Stephen took Rita’s foster daughter Jenny Connor hostage while trying to evade the authorities who had finally rumbled his murder spree over the past year.

After millions of viewers tuned in to watch Coronation Street villain Stephen Reid finally receive his just desserts at the end of this year’s Super Soap Week, a grisly end at the hands of Peter Barlow seemed to be exactly what the serial killer deserved.
