Coronation Street actor Todd Boyce, who plays serial killer Stephen Reid, has teased that a show icon could be killed off ahead of his soap exit.<\/p>\n

It appears that Stephen is not giving up his evil ways and could strike again, as he becomes desperate to flee Weatherfield next week when his lies start to unravel.<\/p>\n

Stephen has killed three people on the street and, so far, his crimes have remained a secret, but in scenes coming soon his dodgy deals and drugging of Carla Connor are set to be revealed.<\/p>\n

The residents of Weatherfield begin to piece together his crimes, with Tim Metcalfe keen to expose the Canadian businessman.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Tim's determination could cost him his life, and Todd has also teased that Corrie legend Peter Barlow could also be at risk of death before Stephen is caught.<\/p>\n

Todd spoke to OK!<\/b> ahead of the dramatic scenes airing next week, and explained that he thinks Stephen will kill again if anything gets in the way of his escape. <\/p>\n

The 62 year old said: "I think if anything gets in his way, there\u2019s no question, he\u2019s got all the finesse of a bulldozer at this point he just needs to get out."<\/p>\n

Speaking about who could be the next victim, he revealed: "I think Tim and I think Peter is putting himself in a dangerous position, but Tim definitely is just in my sights.<\/p>\n

"Stephen is furious with his situation, so he'd kill Tim just out of anger, not even any other reason. He\u2019s a time bomb, he\u2019s exploding."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In recent episodes, viewers have watched as the body of Stephen's victim, Leo Thompkins, was found on a piece of land that had been bought by Ed and Ronnie Baily.<\/p>\n

At the time of his death, Leo was in a relationship with Jenny Connor \u2013 who is now seeing Stephe \u2013 so when the police confirmed the identity of Leo's body, Stephen was one of the first to know.<\/p>\n

As the police investigation continues into what happened to the young man, they are looking to find his father, Teddy Thompkins, who Jenny believes is missing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, fans will recall that Stephen has also killed Teddy, and dumped him in the river.<\/p>\n

The last of Stephen's victims was factory client Rufus Donahue, after he started to work out what Stephen was up to with Carla.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
