Well, I never saw Leo's death coming (and I get the spoilers weeks in advance from ITV!). Well played, ITV for keeping it quiet. In fact, I was nodding off on the sofa while watching Coronation Street last night and when I opened my eyes, I saw Stephen killing off wet-lettuce Leo and snapped back into wide-awake mode. I loved it. Leo's gone, so that's a plus and Stephen's turned interesting so it's win-win all around.
It's like having Richard Hillman back all over again.
As our blogger Merseytart said in this week's Five Things, he likened Stephen Reid to serial killer Richard Hillman - who was in turns, part scary, part hilarious...."You know who else had a meddling ex-wife who turned up at an inopportune moment to demand money? You know who else started telling people that Audrey was confused and possibly had dementia as a way of concealing his shifty property shenanigans? Let's keep an eye out for any purchases of black leather gloves, and encourage Maria to start wearing a crash helmet at all times in case Stephen decides to kill a local hairdresser.
This Coronation Street fan waits with bated breath to see what Stephen's next move is. If I was his ex-wife Gabrielle, I'd be on the first tram out of Weatherfield NOW.
