Hope Stape isn't a child who will let things she doesn't want to happen go ahead without any problems. And the daughter of Fiz looks set to strike again if these first-look Coronation Street pictures are anything to go before.
The youngster, played by Isabella Flanagan in the ITV soap, will be seen waving goodbye to the cobbles this week as she and Ruby Dobbs move away from Weatherfield with Fiz and her new boyfriend Phill Whittaker.
After spending 21 years on the famous street Underworld machinist and antiques dealer Fiz, played by Bury actress Jennie McAlpine, is making a move following her heartbreaking split from former fiance Tyrone last year after he had an affair with their neighbour Alina Pop.
In scenes to air in Coronation Street this week, Fiz will be seen getting ready to leave the street, packing the moving van with her boxes of belongings, in order to move in with her new boyfriend Phill Whittaker away from the famous cobbles.
But she soon drops a huge bombshell on Tyrone - confessing that she is worried she is making a big mistake. But learning from her past mistakes, the mechanic tells his former fiancée that she deserves a fresh start in a big house with a garden for the girls, Ruby and Hope, and is soon waving her off.
Fans, however, needn't worry as this isn't the end of Fiz as we'll soon see her and Phil replacing her terraced house with a posh Victorian home away from the close-knit community she spent most of her life in.
And it looks like she will once again be needing the help of Tyrone when Hope goes rogue and jumps in the driving seat of a mini digger and looks set to do anything to stop her mum moving in with Phill and away from the home she's known all her life.
New, first-look pictures show the troublemaking schoolgirl jumping into the digger Fiz and Phill are using to renovate their new family home. And, as expected, chaos ensues when the youngster manages to get the piece of heavy construction equipment working.
She's then seen smashing it into the windscreen of Phill's car before an unimpressed Tyrone shows up and joins Fiz and her new man in trying to deal with Hope's latest antics.
But Isabella, who plays Hope, seemed to be having a lot of fun, smiling and larking around while in her fluffy dressing gown away from the Salford-based set and on location.
Jennie, who plays Fiz, was also snapped ushering the younger cast member around in brief breaks from filming while Jamie Kenna, who joined the soap as Phill last year, was also pictured in amongst the chaotic scenes.
Last year 10-year-old Hope left Corrie fans shocked and appalled when she set fire to Tyrone Dobbs and pregnant girlfriend Alina Pop's flat. She started the fire in a fit of jealousy over Tyrone's relationship with Alina and the news that they were expecting a baby boy.
Alina later miscarried the child after being rushed to hospital. After being told about the tragedy Hope has failed to show any remorse for her behaviour as Fiz and Tyrone covered up for her. But when Alina found out that Hope was responsible Tyrone went to the police and Fiz, who tried taking the rap, was released.
But it didn't teach her a lesson as earlier this year Hope wasn't too willing to tell the truth when it was found out she helped her cousin Joseph Brown hide up in Fiz's loft when he did a runner from No.5. Hope and Joseph were given £100 each by Clint, who found the pair wandering the back streets of the cobbles, in order to bag the reward money.
Bernie Winter soon found out what had happened and ended up splitting the £32,000 reward with him, and had been using it to help daughter Gemma and Chesney.
While fans of the ITV soap know Bernie didn't have a hand in Joseph's disappearance, Hope lied to her mum and grandmother Evelyn, telling them Bernie forced Joseph to hide in the loft and bribed them both in order to stay quiet. However, the truth did eventually comes out when Joseph told Fiz that it was all Hope's idea.
And her lies quickly got Corrie viewers thinking the worst and they made a sinister prediction about the youngster's future.
