Cerberus fell ill and Stephen attempted murder

Last night, Evelyn’s dog Cerberus didn’t want his dinner.

Fiz pointed out that he was getting old but Evelyn dismissed this idea.

She just thought that Cerberus had a stomach bug.

However, later in the week, it’s been confirmed that things are a lot more serious than Evelyn first thought.

Elsewhere, Stephen was busy attempting murder with a hole punch – again!

He was about to hit Rufus on the head when Michael turned up at the factory and interrupted him.

Michael had no idea that he’d just stopped a murder from taking place.

Now fans have begged for Stephen to die instead of Cerberus.

Fans beg for Stephen to die instead of Cerberus

With Cerberus’ health taking a toll, Coronation Street fans have begged for Stephen to die instead of the beloved dog.

They’re sick of Stephen’s murder sprees, with some even suggesting that Cerberus may have been spiked with LSD by Stephen himself.

Fans would much rather see Stephen die than Evelyn’s dog.

One fan wrote: “Stephen is [bleeping] me off three nights a week so what does Corrie do? Kills off the innocent dog Cerberus, this is NOT what we asked for.”

Another fan tweeted: “Kill Stephen, not Cerberus.”

A third viewer commented: “As if Corrie isn’t bad enough, the writers are killing Cerberus off instead of Stephen.”

A fourth fan then wondered: “Is Cerberus a victim of Stephen’s random LSD spikes???”
