Coronation Street fans were fuming at firestarter Hope Stape in Coronation Street as she was caught weasel-handed after accusing Peanut the dachshund of biting her. After the twisted 12-year-old cried wolf and said the adorable dog had attacked her, her parents Fiz and Tyrone Dobbs backed her up and told her that Peanut might have to be put down.
In Wednesday night's episode (February 1) she was exposed of her lies when her adoptive dad Tyrone caught Hope sneaking out of the backyard carrying David’s stuffed weasel from the barber shop, and he worked out that he had used its teeth to mark herself. For once, Hope straight-up admitted her lie and said it was in revenge suspecting that Peanut had killed her pet chinchilla, Cilla.
Tyrone and Fiz gave Hope a telling off before apologising to Peanut's owner Beth Sutherland and her husband Kirk. But just as you might have thought Hope had learned her lesson from her evil act, there was a twist when Beth confronted her in the street about almost losing her dog because of her cruel accusation.
