Spoilers for Coronation Street: Jenny foils the assassin Stephen's intentions, leaving him furious

This week on Coronation Street, Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce) is a man who is running out of time.

With the discovery of Leo’s body, the walls are closing in on the serial killer. Stephen is fully aware of what is about to happen, and as the police continue their investigation, it won’t be long until Teddy’s body is discovered and the truth about Rufus’ death is made public.

He therefore intends to use his charm to persuade partner Jenny (Sally Ann Matthews) that leaving Weatherfield is a wise decision.

Jenny then tells Stephen that although she can understand the appeal of relocating permanently to Thailand, doing so is only a pipedream and a vacation will do.

The plot is then furthered when Stephen presents Jenny with a picture of a bar in Thailand and informs her that the owner is a buddy who is seeking a new manager.

Although Jenny is aware of how serious he is about moving, it is abundantly evident at the beginning of the week that she won’t be persuaded.
