Conversation Street

Love him or hate him, Stephen Reid and his bumbling string of murders have certainly been the hottest topic on the lips of Corrie viewers for the past year or so, and now that his time on the show has finally come to an end, we take the opportunity to take a look back at his full story. From his early days as the suave businessman who caught Alma Baldwin's eye in the mid-90s to the killer Canuck of modern day Corrie, Stephen has certainly been on quite a journey - especially for a character who's been in fewer than 300 episodes in total! Were there any hints back in his early days that he could eventually turn to the dark side? Do we buy his excuse that he just wanted his mother's approval? What were our favourite Stephen moments from the past year - and what didn't work so well for us? We discuss all this and much, much more in our latest character profile!
