And in the coming weeks, it seems the bumbling killer could take the life of beloved Elaine Jones (Paula Wilcox) as the pair grow dangerously closer.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com at the British Soap Awards, Boyce admitted that Elaine isn't in a safe place when it comes to Stephen at all.

"She's not putting herself in a great position, is she? And he's not putting her in a great position either with the life insurance... So, yeah, I don't know..."

Boyce remained tight-lipped as to whether Stephen will kill again... will Elaine find herself in deadly trouble?
