STEPHEN REID IS DEAD! LONG LIVE PETER BARLOW!
Stephen Reid's death was no biggie for me, as the Coronation Street Press Day on October 2nd revealed the ending, but we were all sworn to secrecy, and of course, I kept my word. In all honesty, though, I’ve no idea what is going to happen to Tim. By the end of this high-octane, thriller-driven, Platt-driven, Peter Barlow-driving super soap week fest, Tim remains stuck in the boot of a car in the middle of the woods, and nobody knows where he is, or even if he is alive.
As part of the Super Soap Week press day Corrie Blog spoke to Joe Duttine (who plays Tim) about this past week's dramatics!
Hey Joe,
By the end of this week, we don't know whether Tim is okay or not! Why did Tim suspect Stephen from the very beginning?
Because he saw his Mum go through such a terrible time with his Dad, any bloke that comes into his Mum’s life - he's going to be suspicious. Stephen’s just too smarmy, Tim could see that from a mile off! He couldn't quite put his finger on it for a long time, but little events made them alert to him.
Do you think Tim could ever imagine the extent of Stephen’s crimes?
It's only when he goes down to the canal and discovers the body that the reality of it hits him. That's when his suspicions were confounded.
Is Tim being a bit daft then going after Stephen, knowing he’s done that?
Tim just thinks in the moment doesn't he, he doesn't think about the danger of it. He’s turned down two tickets to see Wethy County so it's a big deal! He’s also disappearing from his anniversary celebrations so something has got his goat!
He’s not scared either, is he?
No, I don’t think he is scared. I don't think he thinks he’s putting himself in any danger. He just thinks he’s gonna sort Stephen out and then have some Moroccan food with Sally, but it doesn't quite turn out like that.
What was it like filming those scenes?
It was great. It was great to do something different and to get out of the building. When you get to film in real-life locations it adds a certain reality to things. It's nice to be with the crew on location and have lunch together, it feels like a sleepover. It was physically challenging, and the volume wall was a first for me. It is great to experience that new technology. It was quite an experience, we had a great time!
Should the viewers be worried for Tim?
Yeah. I think so! I like the fact that we don't know where he is, or what happened to him! We only got to the scene with the dog sniffing at the car. We had to put a sausage in the car so the dog would sniff the right spot!
Thanks, Joe!
Has Stephen claimed Tim as his final victim, or will Tim live to see another Wethy County match? Watch ITV & ITVX this week to find out.

But we know Tim is alive. The scene in the woods. Dog barking at car, but owner shoos him away. Then inside the boot Tim opens his eyes.
