Stephen Reid was murdered on Coronation Street this evening in a shocking brutal twist. Tonight, Todd Boyce departed the soap in huge scenes as part of the ITV Super Soap Week. Still reeling from learning the truth about Stephen, the Cobbles have been struggling to comprehend what he's been doing and all the murders he committed. In shocking scenes tonight, the truth about Stephen came out and as he rushed to the airport to make his escape, unaware that Jenny had taken his passport. He had to return to the Cobbles to get the passport back, with real fears he could end up murdering others. However, in a huge twist, Peter ran Stephen over, killing him outright. He had been growing increasingly frustrated over what Stephen had done to his partner Carla, drugging her with LSD to make her think she was paranoid and also stealing all the Underworld money. It's the end of the road for killer Stephen ( Image: ITV) There was shock reeling across the whole of the Cobbles as Stephen's lifeless body laid on the floor. With the likes of Gail, Audrey, David, Shona, Sarah and Adam stood watching, Peter ran the car over Stephen, as they all rushed over to see what happened. The scenes will have " wide-ranging consequences" both "emotionally, practically and criminally". Soap boss Iain McLeod previously teased to The Mirror and other press: "It's kind of like when you watch a movie... often the movie can end, and it's the end of the film. That's that and the protagonist walks off into the sunset as the credits roll. But soap doesn't end. It goes on and you need to have the sequel to the movie in your heads before you've even started telling the story of the first movie." Iain went on: "There are wide-ranging consequences to Stephen's exit, emotionally, practically and criminally going forward. With that, you need to know what the season two of the TV series is before you've written season one. So in the grand tradition of sequels, I hope what you're about to see is the Godfather: Part Two, which is one of the best sequels ever. I'm confident we've nailed this - the consequences with crimes of this scale are inevitably going to be huge. It's going to be an exciting few months on Coronation Street ." * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on Snapchat ,
