CORONATION Street serial killer Stephen Reid has recruited another Platt family member in his lies and murder games.
The businessman – who is played by actor Todd Boyce in the ITV soap – has so far murdered three people, stolen his mother’s home and drugged Carla Connor into a psychotic episode to get his hands on Underworld.
Stephen has dragged Sarah into his sick games
Sarah looked stunned as she discovered what her uncle had done
All this has happened without anyone – bar Tim and Elaine – working out what he is.
But in tonight’s episode he showed his evil and manipulative side to niece Sarah Platt – and used it to help her own sick scheme.
Viewers know Sarah is pregnant with drug dealer Damon Hay’s baby – but she has lied to husband Adam about it being his.
Earlier this week Adam insisted on another DNA test – and ordered one before Sarah could stop him.
In tonight’s episode she decided to work from home in the hopes of intercepting the results nad keeping her secret for a short while longer.
But her plan failed when son Harry had an accident and was taken to hospital, forcing Sarah to go to him.
And while she was out, the postman came and handed the letter over – and Adam was only too keen to get it opened.
“I’m sorry,” he said as he opened the letter.
“I should’ve believed you, I did believe you, it’s just I had to be certain, and to see it in black and white by my own eyes.”
He read the letter out revealing he is the father to a frankly stunned Sarah.
But while Adam was busy organising a celebration of his impending fatherhood, Sarah was desperately trying to work out what had happened.
It was only when Stephen caught her phoning the clinic to demand answers that he let his secret slip.
He told her: “Looks good, doesn’t it? I wasn’t sure he’d fall for it being a solicitor and all but you’re welcome.
“I knew you wanted that letter so when the courier handed it to me, I just improvised. I know you need a moment to process this so why don’t I pack my things and you have a cup of herbal tea or something?”
Sarah was furious and confronted Stephen, demanding to know why he did it – but she didn’t cotton on to her uncle hiding an entire other life as a liar and killer.
He told her: “Take it from me when it comes to protecting the things that you actually give a damn about, you’ll be amazed at what you can do.”
Shockingly Sarah put aside her worries and joined her uncle in lying to Adam and fans are in shock.
One wrote: “Now you can see how dodgy your Uncle Stephen is. He will hold this against you.”
A second said: “Sarah is just digging herself a hole omfg.”
Another added: “Stephen is free to blackmail Sarah now.”
