Coronation Street\u2019s Todd Boyce has confirmed villain Stephen Reid may soon be getting rid of yet another character.<\/p>\n

The actor explained his killer will have a new target following the accidental death of Leo Thompkins (Joe Frost). After the disgraced businessman will risk it all to shut Leo\u2019s father Teddy\u2019s (Grant Burgin) mouth for good, it seems that Stephen will move onto his next victim: Carla Connor (Alison King).<\/p>\n

Stephen is now working for Carla at Underworld where she constantly belittles him, reminding him of his subordinate role in front of clients.<\/p>

\u201cCarla\u2019s getting on his wick,\u201d Boyce said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s humiliated him on two occasions in front of his former colleagues when he was a bigwig in Milan and they\u2019ve wandered into Underworld or into his business and I keep pretending I\u2019m just doing some consultancy work and she\u2019s got me out the back in packing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just spoils my cover and is \u2018Go on, get back to packing\u2019, so she crushes me in front of them. And also she\u2019s got a business that I wouldn\u2019t mind getting my hands on and she\u2019s annoying me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As King pointed out: \u201c[Carla]\u2019s the queen of Underworld and he\u2019d [Stephen] like to be the king, wouldn\u2019t he?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly,\u201d Boyce replied. \u201cShe\u2019s skating on thin ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he now seems to have a knack for murder, will Stephen off Carla, and will she go down without a fight?<\/p>\n

This is, of course, a possibility that hasn\u2019t been confirmed just yet. Speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, producer Iain MacLeod teased an unexpected showdown between Carla and Stephen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point all the hornets do come out, but probably not in the way you expect. If anyone predicts what Stephen does to Carla I\u2019ll eat my hat! His plan is so out there and dark that I\u2019d be incredibly surprised if anyone spots it coming over the hill,\u201d MacLeod said.<\/p>\n

Will it be murder or something else entirely?<\/p>
