John stape hides a deadly secret from his friends and family

[Perdita]

EX-CON John Stape hides a deadly secret from his friends and family.

The sinister teacher conceals the body of his friend Colin Fishwick in the wreckage of Underworld.


Stape (Graeme Hawley, 36) stole Fishwick’s identity so he could continue working as a teacher after his release from jail.


But Stape goes into meltdown when Fishwick unexpectedly returns from Canada.


And we can exclusively reveal that Fishwick will end up dead after the two men clash.


Desperate to buy himself some time, Stape hides the body in the factory, which is being reconstructed after it exploded during the siege.


Builders at the site pour concrete over the exact spot where he’s hidden Fishwick’s body, burying it forever.


But Stape is still not quite in the clear. The problem is his friend Charlotte Hoyle is also involved in Fishwick’s death.


Stape tells her: “They’ve gone and buried Colin for us. He’s now underneath a solid cement floor that’s going to be here longer than we are.”


But Charlotte (Becky Hindley) is not so sure and argues that someone is going to miss him.


She tells Stape: “He was my friend. I’m not happy that he’s just lying there under tons of cement.


“The truth’s bound to come out. His family are bound to ask questions.”


John tries to reassure her, saying: “But that’s just it, we don’t have to do anything. The only thing we have to do is nothing!”


But factory boss Carla Connor (Alison King, 37) spots him on site minutes after the concrete is spread over the body. IT’S the moment of truth for Gail McIntyre (Helen Worth, 59) as she finds out whether she’s going down for murdering her husband.


Corrie have filmed two endings in a bid to keep the outcome a secret.

But will it be tears or cheers for Gail?

[Siobhan]

I wonder sometimes what the hell goes on in writer heads... they all must sit around with a list of "exciting, explosive" storylines.. Murder, affair, teen pregnancy, murder, affair teen pregnancy oh and a gay storyline for fun...

[Chloe O'brien]

The storylines are getting like EE just regugarate them every few years. Come on Corrie you can do better than that.

FFS what a load of codswallop. Corrie can do better than this. Another death is something they really need NOT!!!!

[moonstorm]

Corrie seems to be getting so far fetched at the moment.

utter nonsense , lets see Fishwick's family - Colin is due back today from holiday. Does not turn up, family get on the phone and call the airline, yes he was on the flight, so where is he. Next day still no Colin, call the school to see if they know where he is, yes he's in the classroom just now .. funny why did he not come home first. End of school day , Colin still does not show. Next day, go round to school - my son here , yes he's in the classroom. Walk round to class room , that's not my son, he's not Colin Fishwick.

Caught done and dusted within a day !

His family know that Colin is no longer working as a teacher, so they will not look for him in the school. The airline will not tell the family whether he was on the flight or not, because of data protection. Guess the police could get that information though.

Glad to see that the source of this scoop is the Daily Star. Hopefully it will be like most of their stories. TOTAL CRAP

Coronation Street's John Stape is to conceal the body of his former friend Colin Fishwick in a forthcoming plotline, a report has claimed.

The sinister storyline is thought to begin when Colin returns from Canada unexpectedly, throwing John's world into chaos because he has stolen his old acquaintance's identity to continue working as a teacher following his stint in jail.

According to the Daily Star, Colin ends up dead after clashing with John, prompting the ex-convict to hide his corpse in Underworld, where renovation work is being carried out in the aftermath of Tony Gordon's siege explosion.

Builders working at the factory go on to pour concrete over the spot where Colin is buried, leaving John - played by 36-year-old Graeme Hawley - to think he is in the clear.

However, John's friend Charlotte Hoyle (Becky Hindley) is also involved in Colin's death and panics over the situation, claiming that the truth is "bound to come out".

Meanwhile, another possible stumbling block for the teacher comes when factory boss Carla Connor (Alison King) spots him on the building site shortly after the concrete is spread.
