The disgraced businessman, played by Todd Boyce<\/a>, will have a confrontation with Owen Longford (Ben Hull), who accuses him of stealing money from Underworld.<\/p>\n Owen is determined to buy Carla Connor (Alison King) out of the company, with Stephen afraid he\u2019ll lose his job as a result of the takeover.<\/p>\n Stephen\u2019s efforts to get his fianc\u00e9e Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) to buy Carla\u2019s shares failed, meaning the killer now has to do whatever it takes to get Owen on his side \u2013 which is easier said than done as the newcomer has his own suspicions, and rightly so.<\/p> In a new episode, Stephen invites Owen round Elaine\u2019s flat for lunch, unaware she is organising a special Canada Day celebration to cheer him up.<\/p>\n The meeting between the two men doesn\u2019t go as Stephen would\u2019ve hoped.<\/p>\n Owen gets honest with the baddie, admitting he doesn\u2019t trust him and that, after inspecting Underworld\u2019s books, he believes Stephen is using a fake company to siphon money from Carla\u2019s factory.<\/p>\n He also accuses Stephen of pining for Jenny Bradley (Sally Ann Matthews). Despite being engaged to Elaine, the murderer is indeed interested in Jenny and awaiting the right chance to win her back.<\/p>\n As he\u2019s mid-conversation with Owen, Stephen begins to panic when Elaine bursts in, surprising him with her Canada Day party.<\/p>\n The celebration goes ahead, with Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) and Sarah Barlow (Tina O\u2019Brien) also in attendance. Stephen tries to play along with it, but realises in fear that Elaine seems upset. Has she overheard what Owen said?<\/p>\n With Elaine\u2019s son Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) also on Stephen\u2019s case following his mum\u2019s health emergency<\/a>, the villain\u2019s days in Weatherfield may be numbered.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Coronation Street airs weeknights on ITV.
