‘His underpants are messed up!’: Corrie fans hilariously compare killer Stephen to ‘The Hulk’ as he LOOSES the underwear factory
Coronation Street fans compared killer Stephen Reid to The Hulk after he furiously trashed the Underworld factory on Monday.
The villain, played by Todd Boyce, collapsed after his latest lie backfired and he risked losing his job.
When soon-to-be factory owner Owen Longford (Ben Hull) discovered that Stephen had tried to ruin his and Jenny’s budding romance, he made it clear that his rival would soon be in line at the employment office.
As the pressure became too much, Stephen furiously threw out his employees, before trashing the factory – and the underwear – with fans convinced he would soon turn green, just like the famous comic book character.
On Twitter, one wrote: “Expected Stephen’s shirt to rip open like the Hulk.”

While another joked ‘Stephen gets his underpants in a twist’ and someone else laughed ‘Not the nickers Stephen!’.
A third said, “Stephen has turned into Hulk,” while another shared a photo of the character that read ” [This is] Stephen will be any minute now.”
Someone else wrote, “Stephen so terrifying I’m actually hiding behind a door shivering.”

Bill joked that he hoped he would have “a parachute on” when he jumped out of the plane with an instructor, while being shown how to position his body during a run-through of the ground skydive.
Bill zipped himself into his blue and yellow suit and strapped on to a harness as Lenny Kravitz’s hit song Fly Away played in the background.
Grinning broadly as he sat on the edge of the plane, the excited actor was taken from the plane inch by inch by the instructor strapped to his back.
The duo then dove out of the plane in an exhilarating free fall, flipping upside down with the wind in their faces before the parachute burst open.
Legend! It comes after Corrie star Bill Roache jumped out of a plane on Sunday aged 91 when he first took up skydiving.
Bill eventually landed on the floor to a thunderous round of applause, with the soap star blown away as he admitted that his “breath was taken away” during the “amazing” skydive.
He said, ‘You can’t breathe and it’s quite shocking. But then when the parachute opens and you see the beautiful view, and that is beautiful. You just slow down and you know how birds feel. It’s really great.’
Speaking on Friday’s episode of Lorraine about his upcoming skydive, Bill insisted he didn’t want to slow down.
He said, “I do a Sunday morning skydive for a community good cause. You may not acknowledge your age. People say slow down, but if you don’t use it, you lose it.”
