Fiz Stape's last wedding was in prison but despite getting a fancy event for her Coronation Street character the second time round, Jennie McAlpine still wasn't overly thrilled. The actress last played a bride back in 2009 when her red-headed character wed John Stape behind bars after he was arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for keeping Rosie Webster captive.
But this time around, as Fiz prepares to marry new man Phill Whittaker, Jennie is getting the whole wedding chebang in scenes filmed at Colshaw Hall, an exclusive and luxurious wedding venue in Cheshire. That doesn't mean, however, that it's going to run smoothly. While it starts this week with the return of Phill's mum, Mimi, it all kicks off next week with another arrival.
With relations already frayed between Evelyn Plummer and Mimi, when Hope’s bridesmaid dress gets covered in wine and Mimi blames Cerberus and Evelyn sees red - and not just wine. As a slanging match ensues Phill’s annoyed with Fiz for not giving Mimi the benefit of the doubt over Evelyn.
