Stephen Reid (played by Todd Boyce) is an accidental villain of sorts, but that hasn't stopped him from murdering three already on Coronation Street.

And in the coming weeks, it seems the bumbling killer could take the life of beloved Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) as the pair grow dangerously closer.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the British Soap Awards, Boyce admitted that Elaine isn't in a safe place when it comes to Stephen at all.

"She's not putting herself in a great position, is she? And he's not putting her in a great position either with the life insurance... So, yeah, I don't know..."

Boyce remained tight-lipped as to whether Stephen will kill again... will Elaine find herself in deadly trouble?

It's clear Boyce loves playing the villain, explaining how he generates a big response from people when they first see him.

"The reaction in the public is usually fear, especially when they first see me, but it's exciting. Everyone likes to play a villain!"
