She's only 11 but Hope Stape has been terrifying Coronation Street fans with her twisted behaviour for years now. Next week on Corrie she appears to be following in the footsteps of her late serial killer father John Stape.
Her adopive father Tyrone has a shock when he opens the door to the outhouse, only to discover the books about John have vanished. Fiz and Tyrone confront Hope over the missing John Stape books, but she makes out she lobbed them in a bin on Tile Street.
Hope calls to see her friend Sam and tells him she made £75 flogging her dad’s book, and she joins in a group chat called Legacy of Evil. Hope types a message to her classmates, informing them that tomorrow she’s planning a special tribute to John Stape.
