Twisted firestarter Hope Stape sparked the wrath of Coronation Street fans again as she set her sights on a new target - Peanut the dog. The troubled 12-year-old confided in her friend Sam in tonight's Corrie (Monday. January 30) how she intended to have her revenge for her pet Cilla the chinchilla's murder, with the finger pointed at Peanut, the pet dachshund of Beth and Kirk Sutherland.
In the factory, Beth told Fiz she was sorry about Cilla, but at the end of the day, she was only a "posh rat." Fiz was incensed and boss Carla had to step in before a fight broke out.
On Hope’s instructions, Sam reluctantly conned Maria Windass into handing over Vin-Diesel the stuffed weasel from the barber shop. After ordering Sam to go, Hope carefully placed Vin Diesel’s mouth around the skin of her arm.
