Coronation Street has aired a Stephen Reid drink spiking twist.
Twisted Stephen has been manipulating Audrey Roberts in hopes of getting his hands on her money, though he's simultaneously facing extreme financial hardship.
In Tuesday's episode (November 29), Stephen secretly started delivering food for local restaurant Six Fellas and his first drop was for Drake.

After Drake mocked him for becoming a food delivery driver, Stephen angrily called up Six Fellas and told them to stuff their job.
The consequences of this decision immediately came down on Stephen, as he remembered he'd promised to pay for Audrey to take a cruise with Sam.
Stephen tried to get out of having to pay for Sam by trying to convince Nick that Audrey had started drinking again. Nick was adamant that the holiday needed to go forward, leaving Stephen worried.
The schemer sunk to a new low by stealing Audrey's antidepressants and then crushing them before lunch at the bistro with Audrey.
When Audrey excused herself to the loo, Stephen had his chance to spike her drink but was distracted by a call from Gabrielle announcing she'd cancelled his car contract!

Sarah then approached to ask Stephen for a lift after lunch as the walls started to close in on the con-man. Audrey soon returned and was about to take a sip of the spiked drink when Stephen thought better and knocked it over.
After lunch, Stephen felt he had no choice but to book the cruise for £3,000, only to see his car being repossessed in the middle of the street.
Stephen did a runner instead of dropping off Sarah for her meeting. While Sarah was on her way to the tram station, she spotted Stephen's car being hauled away and wondered if it had broken down.
Is Stephen finally on the verge of being caught out?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
