Coronation Street fans have said 'this is going to get dark' as they worked out Hope Stape's next move after she caught Beth Sutherland cheating on her husband, Kirk. The war between the schoolgirl and Underworld machinist has been brewing for months in the ITV soap.
It started when Hope falsely claimed she'd been bit by Beth's beloved dog Peanut after claiming the pooch had killed her new pet chinchilla, Cilla. When Beth found out the truth, in an unaired moment, Beth slapped Hope but lied about her shock act when Hope told her parents.
However, later, Beth was forced to come clean to Fiz and Tyrone Dobbs and the pair initially refused to forgive her, despite her apologies to both them and Hope, until they softened for Kirk's sake. But the 'feud' between Beth and Hope may be back on as the youngster appeared to get a photo of the moment Beth kissed her former flame.
