Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod recently promised that Stephen will ultimately be caught out, although his storyline is expected to run for many more months.
MacLeod told ITV1's Loose Women: "Of course he is [going to be caught]. It's a soap, bad guys always get their comeuppance in the end, don't they?
"So yes, 100%. There's a lot of fun to be had between now and then, I will say."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
