I'll be sorry to see John go.
So will I :(
Me too but unfortunately he has been involved in so many deaths its become inevitable. Poorly thought out storylining led to this. Poorly thought out storylining also led to the return of Kate Plank with a ridiculously scripted return. Crap storyling this week when Big Jim committs an armed robbery. WTF. Bit pointless bringing him back for that so it was. Im really beginning to despair with the clowns who are writing the scripts for corrie at the moment.
Even more detail about the demise of John Stape today that fills in a few more gaps in the previous report and I've added some of my own speculation at the end.
It says here, that John, as we told you, keeps Chesney and Kirk "hostage" along with Charlotte's parents in the basement in their home. He then flees, but it's not entirely clear whether he makes it seem like he's off to kill himself. He disappears and, in reality, is hiding in the small loft in Number 5, sneaking out at night to get food and see baby Hope.
His is discovered and when he pushes past Fiz while trying to run with Hope, she is knocked over and injured. He goes to see her in hospital and then, with the baby in arms, goes to the roof of the hospital (just like Claire) and threatens to jump.
So, here's my take on it. He won't jump with the baby though the article says nobody knows yet if he will take Hope with him over the edge. That's just silly. They won't do that and we all know it. I think he'll hand over the baby and maybe even agree to come down but lose his footing and fall accidentally. Thus, no actual suicide. We all know they rarely go that route though it has happened. John has killed Charlotte and Joy and soap morality dictates he must pay for that.

Coronation Street yesterday filmed these dramatic rooftop scenes as murderer John Stape's soap exit draws near.
The killer, played by Graeme Hawley, sneaks into hospital and steals baby Hope to the horror of mum Fiz.
A showdown follows on the hospital roof as John threatens to jump and take his daughter with him.
This is the latest twist in the long-running Corrie plot, which saw him kill Charlotte Hoyle and hide her body during the tram crash as he looked to protect himself having stolen Colin Fishwick's identity.

Fiz rescues her daughter from her husband's clutches with the support of police, but John continues to contemplate jumping from the roof.
He does eventually plunge toward the ground, although whether he survives to tell the tale in another soapland twist is unknown.
But with Hawley due to leave the ITV1 soap this year, his chances don't look good.

Coronation Street star Graeme Hawley has confirmed that Fiz Stape will soon make some fresh discoveries about his character John's secret life.
Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is currently aware of her husband's ill-fated decision to steal Colin Fishwick's identity last year, but he has so far managed to keep his involvement in three deaths under wraps.
Next week's episodes of the Weatherfield soap see John's mental state take another turn for the worse after he learns that Fiz has claimed Joy Fishwick's inheritance. Following a breakdown at the bookies, he leaves Fiz frantic by disappearing.
Discussing where John goes, Hawley told All About Soap: "In his mind, the logical thing to do is to get everything in good order so he can calm down. That leads him to Charlotte's parents and he tries to give them some money from the inheritance.
"The Hoyles are very worried when John turns up and, finding his phone, they see he has 16 missed calls from Fiz so they ring her, even though they don't know who she is."
Hawley added that this will be the moment that Fiz learns more of John's secrets, but hinted that a full confession is not on the cards just yet.
He said: "It will be a very long conversation when he does confess! Some things will come out now, but it depends on his mental state at the time - I don't think Fiz could take it all coming out at once!"
Newspaper reports recently suggested that a shock rooftop incident could bring John's story to a close later this year.
CORONATION Street killer John Stape’s reign of terror will live on when he becomes a desperate fugitive.
In scenes filmed last week the deranged triple murderer falls from a ledge after a tense stand-off with ex-partner Fiz – but he lives.
Stape, played by Graeme Hawley, 37, then flees the *country, leaving his family terrified he could return.
Corrie bosses are said to be thrilled that false reports of his death were leaked as it makes the real story even more shocking.
An insider said: “We will see him boarding a ferry to Europe. The police will *discover where he is and there will be a manhunt. The bosses love him. Being a fugitive is a great story.”

Coronation Street character Fiz Stape will be arrested for murder after helping husband John dispose of a body, it has been reported.
When John discovers that Underworld is to be dug up for drainage work, Fiz - played by Jennie McAlpine - will help him move Colin Fishwick's body and dump it in the canal, according to the News of the World.
She will believe that it's the body of brother Chesney, who John (Graeme Hawley) is holding hostage in cellar. The murderer convinces her otherwise and claims that Colin's death was an accident - but admits to killing Colin's mum Joy.
He then flees with baby daughter Hope. Fiz is knocked down while chasing him and taken to hospital. John visits her disguised as a doctor, but jumps off the hospital roof after Fiz presses her panic alarm.
However, the Sunday Mirror claims that he will not die but instead go on the run. A source said: "We will see him boarding a ferry to Europe. The police will *discover where he is and there will be a manhunt. The bosses love him. Being a fugitive is a great story."
Fiz is arrested and shows police where Colin's body is. She says: "What's going to happen to me now? What's going to happen to my baby?"
