Coronation Street: Stephen killed Leo
Over the last few weeks Leo started to become suspicious of Stephen after discovering he was secretly sleeping in his car.
He started doing some digging and was confused when he learnt Stephen was planning on having Audrey‘s house valued by an estate agent without her knowledge.
However Leo really started to hate Stephen when he learnt that he kissed his fiancée Jenny during their brief split.
Leo began to do more investigating and overheard a conversation between Stephen and his wife Gabrielle.
He learnt that Stephen stole money from Gabrielle and was planning to use the equity from Audrey’s house to pay her back.
When Leo confronted Stephen, he threatened to tell Audrey.
The two men got into an altercation. Leo hit his head on the metal railing of the factory gantry.
Stephen then pushed him over the edge and Leo landed in a bin.
Stephen checked on Leo but he was dead and he later decided to move his body.

@itvcorrie Please don't go down the route of another serial killer. We don't need another long drawn-out ridiculous storyline. The Pat Phelan story went on far too long that I stopped watching you for a while. #Corrie #Leo #StephenCorrie

Dear #corrie please please don’t drag this Killer Stephen storyline out for a couple of years like Phelan and Gary and all the other killer nonsenses. We’re all desensitised to death and destruction! #behappy
