TROUBLED Fiz Brown shows up in court for ex-fiancé John Stape’s kidnap case after deciding to support him.
Poor Fiz was devastated when she discovered John had held troublesome minx Rosie Webster captive.
She vowed never to see him again – but as the day of his sentencing approaches she realises she has to be there for him – leaving John touched by her presence.
As the judge prepares to pass sentence John makes a heartfelt submission to the court.
He tells the judge he deeply regrets abducting Rosie and hurting Fiz.
But although what he says sparks new feelings from Fiz, it doesn’t stop the judge sending him down.
A Coronation Street insider said: “John takes advantage of the situation by reaching out to Fiz. He hopes that by
turning up to show her support in court it means she will one day forgive him.
“He knows he’s facing a stretch behind bars but if Fiz is waiting for him when he gets out he’ll be able to get through
anything.
“John is the love of Fiz’s life and she knows what he did was wrong.
“But at the end of the day it was Rosie who ruined it all for them in the first place.
“Fiz has a lot to think about and only she can decide what it is she wants to do.”
Fans of the ITV1 soap can see John sent down for kidnap and false imprisonment a week tomorrow.
