Coronation Street is lining up new drama for troubled youngster Hope Stape it seems, according to actor Jamie Kenna.
The star who plays Phill Whittaker on the ITV soap hinted a new character could be on the way too, ahead of Phill's wedding to Fiz Brown.
Amid Phill's ongoing battle of sorts against love rival Tyrone Dobbs, it seems he's finally about to get his happy ever after with Fiz.
But while some fans are hoping she reunites with her ex, actor Jamie revealed he was Team Phill all the way - but hinted there could be some obstacles.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror about his troubled stepdaughter Hope, who has been up to all sorts of dangerous and worrying antics across her time on the show, Jamie suggested there was more drama ahead.
He told us at the British Soap Awards 2022: "You always get drama with Hope, that's the way she is wired. She has already smashed my car up! She's always up to mischief, but we will see what happens."
On whether Phill knows just how bad Hope can be, he said: "No, and I think Phill is genuinely a nice guy. No matter what people think or suspect of him, so he sees the good in people. He's just a good guy."
Hinting that a new character linked to Phill could be on the way, he coyly responded: "You will have to wait and see!"
He also shared how Phill would react if Fiz did ditch him and reunite with Tyrone.
Jamie said: "He'd be devasted and absolutely mortified. He genuinely loves her unconditionally, even with the baggage she is it, she's the one.
"He's got a ready-made family, he loves the girls, he loves Fiz. As far as he is concerned it's signed, sealed, delivered."
On the wedding, he teased: "I know what's gonna happen but I'm not gonna tell you. As far as Phill is concerned the wedding is the stuff of dreams, she's the woman of his dreams.
"He is absolutely besotted with her so it's full steam ahead, but this is Corrie so we will have to wait and see what unfolds. Obviously I am Team Phill, and I hope everyone tuning in is Team Phill."
