Stephen Reid is a fictional character on Coronation Street played by English-American actor Todd Boyce.
Background
Stephen is Audrey Roberts' first child, whom she gave up for adoption at 16. Malcolm Reid, a neighbour and old flame of Audrey adopted Stephen and later emigrated to Canada.
In January, 1996, Stephen arrived in Weatherfield to get to know his biological mother and to carry out some business for his firm KBec with local tycoon Mike Baldwin. During his stay Alma Baldwin, Mike's wife and Audrey's best friend, became besotted by him and made her feelings clear but Stephen wasn't interested and returned to Canada once his business was completed.
Stephen's nephew Nick Platt later went to stay with his uncle in Canada for several months when he started to become troublesome towards his mother Gail and stepfather Martin. In 1999, following the break-up of his marriage to Leanne Battersby, Nick again turned to Stephen, who offered him a job in Canada.
Over the years Audrey has maintained regular contact with Stephen and has even visited him a number of times. Gail's third husband Richard Hillman also took her to Canada for an impromptu visit at Christmas, 2001.
On 10 December 2007, Stephen returned to Weatherfield to spend Christmas with Audrey en route to Italy, from where he intended to expand his business empire into Europe.
On 14 December, Stephen invited David to join him in his Italian home and he accepted, to the chagrin of Sarah.
However on 21 December the plan was ruined for David when Sarah bought some ecstasy tablets from a drug dealer in Leanne's restaurant Valandros and she put them in David's drawer in Audreys salon. Audrey went into the drawer and discovered the pills.Stephen left Weatherfield on Boxing Day and was joined by Sarah and her daughter Bethany several days later.
Gail visited them in June/July 2008.
