Coronation Street fans are convinced an unexpected Weatherfield resident will play a major part in the downfall of Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce).
Viewers of the ITV soap think the serial killer's days of freedom are numbered despite his plans to flee Weatherfield to live a new life in Thailand with Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews). The body of Stephen's first victim – and Jenny's ex – Leo Thompkins was uncovered last week.
Following the grisly discovered, Stephen has been determined to leave the cobbles for good but Jenny is more interested in letting Leo's dad Teddy Thompkins know about his son's death. However, the former Rovers landlady is unaware that Stephen has killed Leo and his father.

The dodgy businessman has also bumped off Rufus Donahue and he's managed to get away with all three murders so far. During Wednesday's (September 27) visit to the famous street, Glenda Shuttlworth (Jodie Prenger) couldn't help but point out how Jenny was planning on leaving the country with another man quickly after Leo's death was revealed.
Although initially meant as a joke, she began googling extradition laws for Thailand, as she inferred a possible act of foul play – especially given how Jenny was keen to flee less than a week after hearing her former fiancé’s body had been found. fans were quick to predict that Glenda could play a bigger role in Stephen’s downfall as she was making connections even the police had failed to pick up on so far.
Taking to social media, one fan typed: "Glenda mentioning the fact that Jenny isn't that cut up about Leo's death that it hasn't stopped her from swanning off with Uncle Stephen." Another added: “OMFG PC GLENDA! Get her a job on the force!" A third fan said: "Say it again Glenda! This time nearer Craig!"
Although it’s remains unknown how exactly Stephen’s dark past will be uncovered in the coming weeks, fans have been eagerly awaiting his downfall since he took the life of Leo in September last year.

As well as his three successful victims, Stephen also plotted to kill his former flame Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) after insuring her for millions, and also managed to convince Carla Connor (Alison King) she was suffering a mental breakdown after deliberately drugging her with LSD in order to take over her business.
Fans will have to wait and see exactly how Stephen gets caught and if Glenda has any involvement.
