Coronation Street has hinted Tim Metcalfe may become the next victim of serial killer Stephen Reid.
Unfortunately for fan-favourite Tim, he ends up on Stephen's bad side over his objections to the killer's recent engagement to his mother Elaine Jones.
Stephen isn't keen on marrying Elaine either, as he'd accidentally proposed while he was high on the LSD he'd intended to use on Carla Connor at Underworld.

In scenes set to air next week on ITV, Stephen continues trying to delay actually moving in with Elaine, though he's given little wiggle room when she tells her son Tim and his wife Sally of her plans.
Tim is immediately opposed to his mother moving in with Elaine, no less her plans to actually marry the slimy businessman.
During a tense conversation, Tim makes the incredibly short-sighted mistake of telling his nemesis he'd rather die than have his mother marry Stephen.
The soap has left it up in the air over whether Stephen will take Tim's words of warning literally and try to add him to his Kill List.
Over the past months, Stephen has gone from reluctant to remorseless as he claimed the lives of more victims in Weatherfield.
His first victim, Leo Thompkins, was killed by accident — but then Stephen proactively murdered Leo's father Teddy to prevent the first death from being exposed.
Stephen most recently was shown taking perverse pleasure in drugging and drowning his business rival Rufus.
While police haven't linked him to the crimes, Stephen's luck is about to change when he's blackmailed over Rufus's murder.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
