The reign of terror Stephen Reid spread across the cobbles proved a nightmare for the residents of Weatherfield and Todd Boyce did a stellar job of bringing the serial killer to life.<\/p>\n

From killing Leo Thompkins (Joe Frost) during a showdown on the factory gantry to then murdering Leo\u2019s father Teddy Thompkins (Grant Burgin), who got too close to the truth, and finally killing Rufus Donahue (Steve Meo), who also sussed Stephen out, the killer met his demise at the end of ITV\u2019s Super Soap Week and the cobbles were safe once again.<\/p>\n

Will Mellor (Harvey Gaskell), Coronation Street<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Will\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>

While Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) wasn\u2019t on the cobbles for long, he made sure the Coronation Street residents knew not to mess with him and those who crossed him would pay.<\/p>\n

After striking up a nefarious deal with Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) to exonerate him for the murder of Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac) in return for Harvey getting rid of Damon Hay (Ciar\u00e1n Griffiths) for good, his plan backfired and saw Damon back in prison with his brother and a violent fight ensued.<\/p>\n

Navin Chowdhry (Nish Panesar), EastEnders<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) stormed onto Albert Square in 2022 and has established himself with fans as Nasty Nish, leaving viewers reeling with some of his behaviour.<\/p>\n

In upsetting scenes, Nish has abused his ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and berated her after finding out she had been having an affair with Eve Unwin (Heather Peace). It wasn\u2019t just his family who saw his vicious nature, with Nish coercively controlling and later attacking Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace).<\/p>\n

He was recently thrown out of his home by his family, but fans can expect his return to Walford soon\u2026<\/p>\n

Matt Di Angelo (Dean Wicks), EastEnders<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Having been away from Albert Square since 2016, Dean\u2019s (Matt Di Angelo) return saw Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) in turmoil as her rapist tormented her each day. Dean also struck up a relationship with Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) but when he forcefully grabbed her arm in an argument, she punched him and their romance came to an end.<\/p>\n

Dean still continued to worm his way in, using Jade (Elizabeth Green) to gain sympathy, and recently made Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) think she was having an episode when in actual fact, it was Dean\u00a0withholding medicine from Jade, forcing her to become more sick despite her becoming healthier. Some would say, Dean has got his comeuppance after being charged with the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and neglecting Jade.<\/p>\n

Beth Cordingly (Ruby Fox-Miligan), Emmerdale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Newcomer Beth Cordingly has found herself in the middle of plenty of drama as Ruby Fox-Miligan on Emmerdale recently. She stormed into the village as Caleb Miligan\u2019s (William Ash) estranged wife and the chaos immediately began.<\/p>\n

Ruby shocked viewers when she revealed to everyone that Tracy (Amy Walsh) and Caleb were having an affair\u2026 in the middle of Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and Tom\u2019s (James Chase) wedding! Elsewhere in the village, which saw Ruby exiled from her new family, she elbowed Chas (Lucy Pargeter) in the chest, who had underwent a double mastectomy.<\/p>\n

James Chase (Tom King), Emmerdale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Tom King swooped in as Belle Dingle\u2019s knight in shining armour, fans thought the young Dingle would be getting her happy ending but in recent months, things have turned dark.<\/p>\n

Before Christmas 2023, viewers saw Tom push Belle to the ground after she rejected his marriage proposal. After this, Belle proposed to Tom but the soap announced it would be exploring a domestic abuse storyline. So far, viewers have seen Tom attack Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) after growing jealous of his relationship with Belle. He also installed cameras in their home and a tracker on Belle\u2019s phone to watch her at all times.<\/p>\n

David Ames (Carter Shepherd), Hollyoaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Carter Shepherd (David Ames) has wreaked havoc across the Hollyoaks village after being brainwashed into believing that being gay is a sin, which has led to him enrolling student Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) into conversion therapy.<\/p>\n

It all came to a head when the school headteacher plotted to attack the local Pride festival, which got him arrested, but we already know the soap baddie won\u2019t be gone for long\u2026<\/p>\n

Glynis Barber (Norma Crow), Hollyoaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Known as The Undertaker, Norma Crow (Glynis Barber) is one of Hollyoaks\u2019 most feared and iconic villains and you never know what side of her you may meet, but viewers have recently seen a softer side.<\/p>\n

In the latest twist in her story, Norma admitted to killing Warren Fox\u2019s (Jamie Lomas) father. Despite Warren initially thinking Norma placed him in care to pursue a life of crime, it was revealed she did this to protect him from his abusive father.<\/p>\n

Norma admitted that she killed her ex-husband and buried him under the floorboards they were standing on!<\/p>\n
