Coronation Street fans were left with one main question as Hope Stape decided to own the fact a book about her serial killer dad had been released. Parents Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs were tearing their hair out in scenes on the ITV soap earlier this month after discovering a tell-all book was being realised about the late John Stape and that it featured private details about Hope.
It later transpired that the person who the youngster had been speaking to via a game, only known as Mad Dog, was involved in the book and its subsequent articles. After enlisting the help of Adam Barlow, Fiz appeared to have made huge strides by sitting down with the publisher and playing at her maternal heartstrings to get the parts about Hope withdrawn from the book.
As Fiz and Adam prepared to celebrate in the Bistro, Tyrone head found out the author of the book was doing a Q&A at a hotel. He stormed out of work and headed to the venue and heard the writer discussing his theory that Fiz was complicit in John's hideous crimes.
