Steph and her friend Megan Smithson arrived in Weatherfield and met up with Katy in February 2013 in order to discuss Steph ' s upcoming 18th birthday celebrations . Steph and Megan began to flirt with Ryan Connor and Steph later dated him , much to the jealousy of Katy who also secretly wanted Ryan , despite already being in a relationship with Chesney Brown and mother to Joseph . Katy began dropping hints about Ryan ' s dodgy past - his former cocaine addiction and stealing from Underworld . Steph dumped a confused Ryan and left . Later in the year , Steph returned to the area looking for work . During a catch - up in Nick ' s Bistro , Katy told her of a job vacancy at the premises . After being given a short interview by Leanne Tilsley , Steph successfully landed a job as a waitress . In March 2014 she became the new flat mate of Tina McIntyre at 19a Victoria Street as Tina began to struggle paying rent to her landlord Owen Armstrong , Katy ' s father . The pair grew close , and Tina shared her secret of having an affair with a married man but wouldn ' t disclose his identity . Steph tried to make Tina see sense as he would use her , however Tina refused to give up . When Tina was viciously assaulted in Victoria Street during May 2014 , Steph was hit hard by her death - although the pair had only known each other for a few months . On the day of Tina ' s funeral , Steph had second thoughts about attending and raced home . Instead of going to the funeral , Steph , Luke and Katy instead celebrated Tina ' s life by releasing balloons outside the Builder ' s Yard with messages attached to them , in a way to get rid of bad vibes . In July , Steph was caught up the the marital problems of Nick and Leanne Tilsley . Having found out that his estranged wife had got together with Kal Nazir and with no hope of reconcilation , a vengeful Nick then promoted Steph to supervisor at the Bistro in order to get back at Leanne - despite the fact that Steph wasn ' t capable of the responsibility In November , Steph was introduced to Andy Carver ( who at the time was posing as Michael Rodwell ' s son Gavin ) . She immediately took a shine to him , and after sharing a kiss on New Year ' s Eve , Steph was confused when Andy suddenly backed off . A few months later , Michael eventually convinced Andy to tell Steph how he really felt . They kissed passionately and spent the night together . Later in 2015 Andy confided in Steph about his true identity . Steph even went as far as pretending she was pregnant because Michael knew something was wrong . Steph ' s ex - boyfriend Jamie Bowman turned up in September with pictures of Steph from years ago and he threatened to post the naked photos online if Steph ' s brother Luke did not continue with their track car racing , which Jamie had forced Luke to participate in to enable Jamie to pay off debts . Andy was there for her when Jamie did eventually post them , threatening to kill Jamie at first but was sympathetic to her after she discovered the photos online . Steph told the police about Jamie who then tracked him down to the Bridge Inn . Upon leaving the pub , Jamie was arrested on suspicion of disclosing private and sexual images with intent to cause distress . Quotes .
