Coronation Street killer Stephen is confronted over Rufus death cover-up

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street killer Stephen Reid arouses further suspicion next week as he tries to cover up the truth about Rufus Donahue's murder.

Stephen is driven to carry out risky measures as Rufus' widow Lou remains convinced that that her husband's death was not an accident.

As we've already revealed, upcoming episodes see Lou realise that a tie-pin was found at the scene of the crime and it didn't belong to Rufus.

Lou confides in Stephen, who recognises the tie-pin as his own. Stephen then panics when Lou vows to tell the police everything, believing that the tie-pin could be evidence of foul play.

Next week, Lou arrives for a meeting at Underworld and tells Stephen about her dealings with the police.

Lou confirms that the police have agreed to look into the strange tie-pin, so Stephen realises that he needs to take action.

Stephen steals Lou's hotel key from her bag and goes snooping around her room, safe in the knowledge that she's still busy speaking to Carla Barlow at the factory.

The schemer is pleased when he finds the tie pin and puts it into his pocket. However, Stephen panics when he suddenly hears someone at the bedroom door and fears that he's about to be rumbled.

Later in the week, Lou turns up at the factory again and initially claims that she's there for another meeting.

Lou's true agenda becomes clear when she reveals that she has really turned up to find out who stole the tie pin from her hotel room. How will Stephen respond?
