Coronation Street has officially confirmed the discovery of another body in Stephen Reid's final episodes.

The serial killer's dramatic downfall begins when the fate of Leo Thompkins' father Teddy is finally revealed to the police and local residents.

Viewers know that Stephen has killed Leo, Teddy and Rufus Donahue during his reign of terror.

Rufus' body was found at the scene of the crime after Stephen staged it to look like an accident. Leo's body was discovered at Ed and Ronnie Bailey's building site more recently.

Next week, Tim Metcalfe becomes suspicious when he finds out that Stephen has taken an unusual interest in a local canal dredging project.

Remembering that it's not the first time Stephen has seemed interested in the canal, Tim heads back to the location and stumbles across Teddy's remains in the water.

Stephen follows Tim and tries to get him out of the way by attacking him. Although Stephen overpowers Tim, he hasn't been quick enough to stop him from reporting his discovery to the police.

In the aftermath, the race is on to bring Stephen to justice – but can Swain and her team stop him before he goes ahead with his plans to flee to Thailand?
