CORONATION Street fans are convinced Aaron will be murderer Stephen’s next victim after spotting worrying clues.
Serial killer Stephen might strike again and Aaron is in the firing line after viewers spot a trend that he will suffer the same fate as previously garage workers.
Pressure builds for Stephen this Christmas
Is Aaron’s fate sealed as a garage worker?
Taking to Reddit, one fan conspired: “Has nobody told him that three of his predecessors at the garage were murdered? Brian, that Harris lad, and Luke? It’s cursed, I tell you.”
Another fan wrote: “Jesus I didn’t realize all of that. More than that though, also Tony Horrocks. I know that Brian and Kev worked at a different garage but same same.”
A third added: “Dennis Stringer wasn’t murdered, but he did die in a crash, so there’s another untimely death.”
Viewers know Stephen pushed poor Leo from the roof of the factory into a skip – and to his death – and then disposed of the body afterwards.
Weatherfield residents have assumed that Leo has simply left town, with none of them, including Jenny, having any idea that he has been murdered.
Will Stephen killer secret finally be exposed this Christmas?
Coming up on the ITV soap, there’s pressure for Stephen on a number of fronts.
The biggest threat coming from Leo’s dad Teddy, who’s back in town with news that his son never arrived in Canada.
And, what’s more, the texts he sent came from Weatherfield.
Teddy intends to break the news to Jenny, but as he crosses the road, he’s hit by a van.
Teddy is then taken to hospital, where he soon takes a turn for the worse.
Stephen, though, is secretly thrilled and tells Jenny that, just before Teddy’s accident, he admitted to having seen Leo in Canada.
He lies saying Leo made it clear to him that he never wanted to see either of them again.
Stephen’s lies also look set to spiral when he’s confronted by Gail, who’s been on the phone to Gabrielle.
Sarah and Michael, meanwhile, resign from the factory – only for a squirming Stephen to subsequently break the news that he can’t find the cash to fund their venture.
