Iain MacLeod gave a hint of the stories in store for the soap in 2023, which include a potential serial killer and a 'bad boy' set to turn heads.

The new year will see Stephen Reid, played by Todd Boyce, come under suspicion over the disappearance of Leo Thompkins, whose body was dumped in a bin by Stephen after he killed him.

Iain said: "Needless to say, in a soap no bodies ever stay buried for long." The producer said fellow actors were worried by the prospect of a serial killer, who he described as having shades of classic Corrie villain Richard Hillman.

"I know whenever you've got a serial killer on a soap the whole cast is worried," he said.
