Coronation Street fans have been left baffled as Carla Connor made a sudden disappearance from Weatherfield following Stephen Reid's death. The much-loved character was forced to keep quiet about the police looking into the dastardly businessman after she worked out he'd drugged her with LSD.
Carla was then further infuriated when she discovered Stephen had managed to take nearly £250,000 from the Underworld accounts after convincing Michael Bailey to give him his access code. But Stephen's plan to escape the cobbles hit a stumbling block after Jenny Connor nicked his passport.
Desperate, Stephen then turned on his own family by attacking Sarah Barlow and threatening Jenny as he pleaded for his passport. The confrontation then spilled onto the street in front of the Rovers Return where Stephen's horrified family watched on. With his passport back, Stephen looked set to spare Jenny thanks to his mother Audrey Roberts' appearance in front of him.

However, he ended up being run over by Peter Barlow, moments after he’d set Jenny free, and was soon confirmed dead. Peter has since been dragged in for questioning on suspicion of murder and after being released pending investigation on Tuesday night, during Wednesday night's trip to the cobbles, fans were shocked to see Carla leave.
She was seen heading off to Spain in a bid to fix a business deal, insisting she won't be gone for long. However, Peter wasn't too happy as he pointed out she had suitcases packed for a month and joked he'll be in prison by the time she is back from Spain.
While she accepted the bad timing of her work
