Other fans were puzzled that Stephen didn’t have to have much stuff. He shared: “Stephen has much stuff left, where’s it all gone…#Corrie,” with another writing: “Is that Stephen’s stuff, he didn’t have much did he. #Corrie.”

“Stephen has been dead for two months, what has taken so long? Did Craig get lost on his way home from the police station? #Corrie,” a fifth shared, with a sixth writing: “They’ve only just got dear Stephens belongings. #Corrie.”

Soap boss Iain McLeod has previously hinted at the lasting impact Stephen will have in Weatherfield. He told The Mirror and other press: “It’s kind of like when you watch a movie, often the movie can end, and it’s the end of the film. That’s that and the protagonist walks off into the sunset as the credits roll. But soap doesn’t end. It goes on and you need to have the sequel to the movie in your heads before you’ve even started telling the story of the first movie.”

Iain continued: “There are wide-ranging consequences to Stephen’s exit, emotionally, practically and criminally going forward. With that, you need to know what the season two of the TV series is before you’ve written season one.

“So in the grand tradition of sequels, I hope what you’re about to see is the Godfather: Part Two, which is one of the best sequels ever. I’m confident we’ve nailed this – the consequences with crimes of this scale are inevitably going to be huge. It’s going to be an exciting few months on Coronation Street.”

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm
