Stephen Reid causes a carnage on the cobbles by drugging his boss Carla Connor.
And on Monday’s episode, Carla had enough of Stephen’s tricks and fired him from the factory when she returned to work.
Before returning to work, Stephen met with the factory workers. He said, “What I’m about to propose is pretty radical. You probably already know that 50% of the factory is owned by Carla and 50% by the staff.
“We all know that Carla has had mental health problems in the past and it seems that these problems have returned. Sarah and I struggle to make decisions in the company without full control.
“I suggest we put pressure on Carla. I suggest those with interests in the company file a motion of no confidence to take Carla’s stock.”

It comes after the serial killer accidentally spikes his own drink with LSD, leading to an overwhelming reaction during a work presentation.
