No-one has commented so far on the credibility of John falling off the roof at least six storeys up, hitting a concrete pavement and then getting up within minutes and waltzing off.
I suppose it could happen.....

Facing fraud charges and a continuing murder investigation, Fiz has barely slept amid fears that she won't be granted bail.

When the judge announces that Fiz's case is being referred to the crown court, will she be sent to prison in the meantime or will she be allowed to return home to the street?

Coronation Street's Fiz Stape is to be charged with three murders in a forthcoming storyline twist, show producer Phil Collinson has confirmed.
The devoted mum, played by Jennie McAlpine, will face trial later this year after the authorities decide that she must have been involved in her husband John's crime spree.
Coronation Street viewers have recently seen Fiz charged with fraud as her decision to steal Joy Fishwick's inheritance caught up with her. However, Collinson told This Morning today that things will soon get much worse.
"Well, I'm afraid Fiz is going to jail. Fiz is going to be remanded in custody quite soon and she actually gets charged with three murders," he explained.
"Her murder trial is going to come up across the autumn. There's lots of twists and turns still to play out with that story."
Fiz only recently became aware of the fact that John had been involved in the deaths of Joy, Colin Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle. However, in an explosive week of episodes earlier this month, she incriminated herself by helping to move Colin's body.
As John recently disappeared from Weatherfield, Fiz has been left to face the consequences of his dark crimes.
Last month, reports suggested that Fiz would decide to hand her baby daughter Hope over to Roy and Hayley Cropper as she faced time behind bars.
Meanwhile, Jennie McAlpine recently expressed excitement over her character's future, telling Digital Spy that the end of John's plot would lead to "the start of some whole new stories which could run for months and years".
JAILED Fiz Stape risks her life when she takes on a prison drugs ring in a controversial new plot.
Bosses at the ITV1 soap will highlight the issue of drug gangs at work inside Britain’s prisons. Mum-of-one Fiz, on remand for the murders her husband John committed, finds herself affected by the deals.
She discovers her cellmate Ginny has died of an overdose from drugs smuggled into the jail and her death makes Fiz determined to take on the drug barons.
Fiz (Jennie McAlpine, 27) then discovers that another inmate, Ruth, is bringing in goods supplied by her vicious drug-dealing boyfriend.
And she is disgusted as Ruth, who lives in the mother and baby unit of the prison, smuggles the cocaine and ecstasy inside her own baby’s clothes.
When Fiz tries to get her to stop dealing, Ruth tells her: “No way I can stop love. Welcome to the real world. If I don’t do what I’m told my boyfriend and his mates will beat me to a pulp.”
When Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly, 31) visits Fiz she confides to her that she knows how the drugs are being smuggled in.
But ex-jailbird Becky warns her: “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep your mouth shut. “No-one inside likes a grass and they’ll shut your mouth for you permanently if you tell anyone.”

Myabe they are trying to show her as grown up and mother to a young baby, which might prompt a lot of mothers to think about the risks their children have to face and hopefully not get involved with as they grow up. As Hope has had such a bad start in life, I am sure Fiz will do anything to make sure she is going to grow up safe. Just an idea.
I see where you are coming from but its just to big a stretch of credibility to have mild mannered Fiz Stape involved in this. She is as timid as a Church mouse. Had Becky or Traceyluv been involved it might have been credible.
is it just me who thinks this isn't really an appropriate storyline for a soap? not that it's controversial or anything, but because it's so far removed from life on the Street? people watch soaps for domestic dramas, it's not a crime drama!Quote:

Beverley Callard's daughter Rebecca is joining the cast of Coronation Street, it has been announced.
Beverley quit her role as Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald earlier this year, after 20 years in the ITV soap. Speaking after her exit, she admitted that working on the Weatherfield drama was "not as much fun" as it used to be.
Rebecca, who will initially appear as Ruth for six episodes, becomes friendly with Fiz (Jenni McAlpine) when they meet at the prison Mother and Baby Unit, according to the show's official website.
However, it has been teased that the relationship between the pair will turn sour when the innocent wife of John Stape catches Ruth "doing something she shouldn't".
"I've been going to the set for over 20 years now (with Beverley) so to turn up as an actress was a bit different," Callard admitted. "Daunting, as the show is amazing, but also really lovely, as I know some of the people in it, and exciting. It feels like the right role at the right time."
An earlier report claimed that Fiz and Ruth will be involved in a prison drugs ring, in which Fiz will see her cellmate Ginny die from an overdose.
Rebecca's previous credits include roles in The Borrowers, The Grand, Radio 4 comedy series Smelling of Roses and a guest appearance in Robin Hood.
SERIAL killer John Stape is to make a sensational return to Coronation Street - as his wife Fiz stands trial for the three murders he committed.
The psychopath dramatically bursts into court and confesses that he has the blood of Colin and Joy Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle on his hands.
It comes after viewers saw Stape escape last month when he survived a 30ft fall from a hospital roof after being cornered by cops.
Later this year, tearful Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) will see the evidence weighed against her in court. Corrie fans will discover Stape fled to Ireland and has been living rough, keeping track of Fiz's case through newspapers.
Stape will stroll into court to admit his crimes. He will insist he acted alone in the killings and that Fiz was not involved.
Actor Graeme Hawley left Coronation Street in April after a four-year stint as Stape on the soap. A source said: "It will be a real shock for fans when John arrives in the nick of time.
"Bosses are hoping it will be one of those classic moments in television when he returns to clear his wife's name."
However, Fiz will still be in trouble for helping Stape to move Colin's body from Underworld to Weatherfield canal.
But she walks free in the scenes to be screened in October because of her time in prison on remand.

Hardly going to be much of a shock now is it!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

I think the biggest shock will be if anyone will still be watching Corrie in October
Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine has spoken out about the latest twists in the soap's Stape saga, admitting that her character Fiz is "horrified" by events which unfold over the coming weeks.
As announced by Corrie boss Phil Collinson earlier this month, Fiz will soon be charged with murder after the police decide that she must have been involved in her husband John's crime spree.
McAlpine told Soaplife: "The way the police see it, three people have died - Colin, Joy and Charlotte - and Fiz did falsely claim the quite significant £180,000 from Joy's will.
"So to the police it makes sense that Fiz and John needed Joy dead and needed her son and heir dead to get the money. And they needed Charlotte dead when she got involved."
Fiz finally realises the severity of her situation when she is charged and refused bail in scenes which air early next month.
McAlpine continued: "She wasn't expecting to end up in prison. Her solicitor does try to warn her but she's like, 'You tell them about Hope and that I need to be home with my baby' and she doesn't even contemplate being imprisoned. So when she doesn't get bail, she's just horrified. She really thought she was going home."
Reports have suggested that Fiz decides to hand her baby daughter Hope over to Roy and Hayley Cropper as she contemplates a long stint behind bars.
McAlpine added: "She would trust nobody else more than she trusts Roy and Hayley with her daughter. And they would do anything to help Fiz."
Coronation Street bosses have confirmed that Fiz will stand trial in the autumn.
Jennie McAlpine has admitted that Coronation Street's Fiz Stape could face a lengthy spell behind bars, as evidence continues to stack up against her.
The troubled mum ends up in jail when she is charged with the three murders committed by her husband John, who fled the Street after his dark secrets where revealed earlier this month.
"She tells the police everything. But there's no proof she's telling the truth," McAlpine told Soaplife of Fiz's struggle to convince the police that she had no involvement in John's crimes.
However, when the factory worker is refused bail, she is encouraged to apply to have her daughter Hope join her in a mother and baby unit.
McAlpine continued: "But she's torn, especially when the solicitor explains that she wouldn't be with her for ever. Hope won't be able to stay with Fiz in prison if she gets a long sentence."
McAlpine revealed that the jailed mum tries to do the "best thing for her baby" by having Roy and Hayley Cropper take care of her: "At first she sees it as short term, but then she thinks it would be best to cut all ties and there's quite an emotional scene where she hands over Hope and walks away and doesn't even look back."
On Fiz's future behind bars, she commented: "All the evidence is stacked up against her. And the police can't find John, and he's the only one who can back up Fiz's story. I don't think she's expecting him to turn up and do anything. I think any trust in John has gone."
i know accuracy isn't Corrie's strong point at the moment, but would she really just be able to hand over the baby to Roy and Hayley? wouldn't social services be involved if she was sent to prison? and aren't Roy and Hayley banned from fostering?

CORRIE'S innocent Fiz Stape suffers a horrific attack in a storyline about violence and drugs in Britain's jails.
The ex-knicker stitcher is set on by a female prisoner after grassing her up for selling narcotics to other lags.
On Monday, fans of the ITV1 soap saw Fiz (played by Jennie McAlpine) wrongly thrown into clink for the three murders committed by her psychotic hubby John.
The hard-hitting storyline will see her struggle to survive in jail.
She is horrified when she sees a prisoner selling drugs.
And after a lag suffers an overdose, she is persuaded by prison warders to tell the governor in return for a transfer to the Mother and Baby unit.
However, she is spotted leaving the governor's office and gets a beating.
Gentle Liz, is even more scared when the dealer's pals tell her they've got friends in every wing of the prison.
A source said: "This is one of the toughest subjects ever tackled by Coronation Street.
"Poor Fiz will be in serious danger and has made a very powerful enemy in jail.
"She'll be absolutely terrified and viewers will feel really sorry for her - especially as she is innocent."
The attack will make Fiz think twice about moving to the baby unit, fearing the gang could target her premature baby Hope.
Our source added: "Fiz has never faced violence like this before and she's terrified.
"Even her murderous husband was never anything but nice to her. And the threats to Hope really worry her. She'd be devastated if anything happened to her baby after all they've been through together."
Poor Fiz will be held in jail until her trial in October - when evil hubby John (Graeme Hawley) sensationally returns from Ireland to take responsibility for his crimes.

CLUELESS Tyrone Dobbs and Kirk Sutherland start a war with a drugs gang when they kidnap its leader.
In hilarious scenes to be screened later this summer the two lads set about trying to help jailed pal Fiz Stape after she becomes embroiled with the dealers.
Fiz, played by Jennie McAlpine, 27, is left terrified when the druggies, who are at work behind the prison walls, believe she has grassed them up to the authorities. Determined to keep her quiet, they go on to threaten her life and that of her baby daughter Hope.
When Tyrone and Kirk, played by Alan Halsall, 28 and Andy Whyment, 30, find out about her living nightmare, they vow to help.
They think they can talk to the gang’s leader Leon and convince him to leave Fiz alone. But things don’t quite go to plan.
They follow the thug for a few days hoping to gather some dirt on him.
When they see him dealing from his car they decide to try and capture it on camera to use as leverage over him.
But he catches them in the act and their cover is rumbled.
He tries to attack them with a baseball bat and instead of running away they end up knocking him out and then kidnapping him.
They lock him in a walk-in freezer at the old Peacocks butchers because they can’t decide what to do with him.
A show insider said: “They would make ridiculous gangsters.
“Naturally he’s spitting blood with rage when he comes round and realises what they have done.
“They know they are out of their depth but they’ve got no idea what to do now.Tyrone begs Gary to help and the lads take it in turns to look after their prisoner.
“But it’s not a bright move as Leon’s gang members start hunting for him and the criminal vows to get his revenge on the lads.
“Instead of helping Fiz, they’ve made things 10 times worse.”
Daily Star
Sounds like another daft storyline by the idiotic scriptwriters. The storylines are getting worse. No doubt Leon will be a stereotypical drug dealer
Why cant Fiz just stay in prison does anyone care about the character anymore
Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine has admitted that she is keen for John Stape to make a shock return to the soap.
The actress explained that she would like John to rescue her troubled character Fiz, who is currently behind bars awaiting trial for murder after being implicated in her husband's dark crimes.
Last month, reports speculated that John could re-appear for Fiz's trial, turning up to clear his wife's name at the last minute.
Speaking on Loose Women about the possibility of a John Stape return, McAlpine commented: "He's got to, hasn't he? In good soap tradition, the baddie has to have their comeuppance - and he hasn't! It definitely feels unfinished."
However, she added: "I really don't know anything!"
McAlpine also confessed that Fiz may have made a mistake by handing over her baby daughter Hope to Roy and Hayley Cropper.
"It's a good and a bad thing, in my opinion," she said. "First of all, Roy's mother - I'm not happy with that! And Becky has now left [The Rovers] so she's going to be involved. In a way, I don't think [she] thought it through because I think it's going to cause more problems."
Graeme Hawley, who played the role of John, left Coronation Street earlier this year.
There's another new character joining Corrie, says today's Inside Soap magazine.Quote:

Eagle-eyed Corrie fans will spot that it's not the first time that ex-Hollyoaks actor Colin has been in Coronation Street. He played Robbie Winch, the possessive and violent ex-partner of Weatherfield male nurse Karl Foster.

Weatherfield beware - it looks like the rumours about John Stape are true!
Back in June, it was reported that John will make a shock return to the soap later this year, making a dramatic reappearance to save wife Fiz as she stands trial for the dark crimes that he committed.
The Mirror now reports that Graeme Hawley, who plays John, has been spotted filming scenes on location for his character's comeback.
While Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is led into court for her trial, viewers will apparently see John lurking in the shadows with a plan in mind…
John's story reached a climax earlier this year as he went on the run after the truth about the deaths of Colin Fishwick, Joy Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle emerged. The police later told Fiz that John had been spotted in Ireland.
Will John really confess his crimes to save Fiz and, if so, will it be enough to save her from a jail sentence?
Hes done everything he can to avoid jail and get found out which ended up him getting in more trouble so if he does confess thats one big turn around
Coronation Street's John Stape will finally confess to his dark crimes after being critically injured in a car accident, a report has claimed.
The Weatherfield villain, played by Graeme Hawley, returns to screens next month and it is thought that he soon causes chaos by kidnapping Rosie Webster for a second time.
John's latest antics result in a high-speed car chase as Kevin Webster dramatically tries to rescue his daughter, according to the Daily Star.
However, the newspaper claims that John is killed off after he loses control of his vehicle, causing it to somersault through the air.
When it becomes clear that John will not pull through, he allegedly uses his last moments to speak to the police in hospital, confessing his involvement in the deaths of Colin Fishwick, Joy Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle before passing away himself.
As John's wrongfully-accused wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) has just been found guilty of murder, it is thought that she must then face an appeal to secure her freedom.
The latest plot rumours remain unconfirmed by Coronation Street bosses, but Graeme Hawley has been spotted filming with the soap in the past week in time for Fiz's trial.
Fizz should have used the same shyster lawyer as Traceyluv and she would have never been convicted. Then again Jennie McAlpine probabaly isn't as friendly with one of the producers as Kate Ford apparently allegedly is
FUGITIVE Corrie killer John Stape slumps injured in his smashed-up car — after a spectacular high-speed chase involving nemesis Kevin Webster.
The killer, played by Graeme Hawley, returns to Weatherfield to get wife Fiz off the hook before she stands trial for three murders he committed. His plan sees him again kidnap ex-schoolgirl lover Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan). He plans to confess to her.
When her dad Kevin (Michael Le Vell) realises she is in danger, he sets about taking the law into his own hands — and John hits a truck.
