Oh Fiz, how can you do this?

Shows how stressed and desperate she is at the moment

While Coronation Street's Fiz Stape has her sights set on riches, her friend Julie Carp looks set to ruin her plans.

Cash-strapped new mum Fiz - played by Jennie McAlpine - is desperate to get her hands on some funds with killer husband John (Graeme Hawley) in a psychiatric hospital and baby daughter hope fighting for her life.

After John stole the identity of his former pal Colin Fishwick (David Crellin), a solicitor wrongly believes he and Fiz are entitled to the inheritance left behind by Colin's late mother Joy (Doreen Mantle).

However, unsuspecting factory girl Julie (Katy Cavanagh) is totally unaware of Fiz's secret plot and tells the solicitor there's nobody by the name of Colin Fishwick living on the Street, ruining her plans to get her hands on the money.

With Fiz growing increasingly desperate for the cash as the bills continue to mount, she may well be pushed to actions she never thought were possible.

A 'Corrie' insider recently revealed: "Fiz can't work at the moment because she's spending her time coping with her husband and baby and doesn't have two pennies to rub together as a result.

"It's the last thing Fiz would have considered before the tram crash, but the terrible events that have unfolded since that fateful night have pushed her to the edge. She's driven to take the money for the sake of her family."

Former Coronation Street star Becky Hindley has revealed that she was thrilled with her dramatic departure from the soap.

The actress's guest stint as bunny boiler Charlotte Hoyle came to an end last December when the character became one of the casualties of the show's 50th anniversary week.

On the night of the Weatherfield tram crash, fans saw John Stape (Graeme Hawley) furiously attack Charlotte with a hammer before disguising her injuries as part of the disaster zone on the cobbles. She was then taken to hospital but her life support machine eventually had to be turned off.

Reflecting on the storyline, Hindley told the Chester Chronicle: "In a way to go out with a bang like that was brilliant. To be one of the main storylines was fantastic. You didn't know what was going to happen when the script arrived.

"I had such a good time and I feel privileged that I had the time there. It was such a strong character and storyline that I won't be able to go back, which is a shame but equally I don't feel bad about it."

Hindley is currently working on a production of Hamlet at the New Vic Theatre in Newcastle-under-Lyme, appearing in the role of Gertrude.

Discussing her future plans, she added: "At the moment my head's right in Hamlet. I don't quite know what is going to happen next for me. I've never done a long run of TV like Corrie before so if anything comes out of it, then great. If it doesn't, I'll just carry on as a jobbing actor and keep doing the things I've done before."

Jennie McAlpine reckons her Coronation Street co-star Graeme Hawley will pick up an unusual accolade for his portrayal of villain John Stape - as the most-loved murderer in soapland.

Graeme's character is responsible for two deaths and the cover-up of a third. But Jennie, who plays Fiz, insists the actor is much more likeable in real life.

"I love him to bits. He is so funny. I think he's going to be the most loved killer of all time, which is a bit wrong really," she told OK! magazine.

Jennie revealed she and Graeme and their co-stars Sam Aston, who plays Chesney, and Georgia May Foote, who plays his girlfriend Katy, have become "a little family".

"I dread the storyline ending because Graeme will end up going, I guess. But mind you, he came back last time he got locked up - so I'm not buying him another leaving present if he does get banged up again."

CORONATION Street bosses are poised to kill off evil John Stape.

The deranged jailbird will commit suicide in Coronation Street in the coming months as he struggles to cope with the deaths already under his belt.

We can reveal that producers are planning to get rid of him in one of the summer’s biggest storylines.

But how he dies is being kept a closely-guarded secret.

Fans will see John, played by Graeme Hawley, 37, left, spiral out of control as he struggles to cope with the guilt of what he’s done.

First he watched as his former pal Colin Fishwick (David Crellin, 49) had a heart attack and died before burying his body in the foundations of the Underworld factory.

Then he killed another pal Char**lotte Hoyle (Becky Hindley, 37) with a hammer when she started blackmailing him over Colin’s death.

And finally he saw off Colin’s mother Joy (Doreen Mantle, 80) as she tried to track down her son.

It all becomes too much for John and the pressure increases when a disaster at Underworld sparks fresh building work.

Fearing Colin’s body will be exposed, John decides to end his nightmare once and for all.

Graeme recently admitted that he has a rolling six-month contract, knowing his character could be killed off at any moment.

He said: “Every six months I expect to be gone.

“I can’t see there being a happy ever after for John Stape. But I just turn up, do what I’m told and don’t think about it.”
