Coronation Street viewers are working out the real identity of Mad Dog, the person texting Hope Stape. The 11-year-old has been the target of texts by a person going by the peculiar username.
Hope was preparing to talk with a group of gamers online after her School Leavers assembly. But one unknown new player began sending her a string of messages, worryingly, about her home and family life.
Mad Dog's identity hasn't been revealed, but fellow youngster Sam Blakeman predicted whoever it is fancies Hope. The pair discussed the messages and the player over their walkie-talkies.
