Coronation Street star Graeme Hawley has warned that there could be more sinister shocks in store for Fiz as the Stapes' dark storyline continues.

Hawley's twisted character John Stape went on the run last night after Fiz finally discovered the truth about his involvement in the deaths of Charlotte Hoyle and Joy Fishwick.

However, although John has gone AWOL for now, his story is not yet over and his desire to reunite with his family has been tipped to draw him back to the cobbles before too long.

Hawley told Corrie's official website: "Now that John's on the run, I think that Fiz is very nervous about it because there's no telling what he's going to do. Is he going to come back for Hope? Is he going to come back for [Fiz]? Or will he just try to get out of there now?

"It's got to be a big worry for her that he's going to come back for Hope, certainly."

Tonight's Corrie episode sees police detectives warn Fiz to lock all entrances to her house and be wary of answering the door as John could return.

Hawley continued: "All I'll say about the next episode is while Fiz is locked away at home, she thinks she's safe and well and that [John] can't get at her, but that isn't necessarily true."

John and Fiz are taking centre stage in an explosive week of post-watershed Coronation Street episodes, which continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.

Coronation Street's explosive week of episodes reached its dramatic conclusion tonight as the John Stape saga came to an end and the McDonalds' marriage lay in tatters.



Here, are recent spoilers, rumours and speculation and provides a one-stop guide to what's next for the characters who took centre stage this week.



Fiz
With John out of the picture, it's Fiz who becomes the main focus of the authorities' attentions in the coming weeks as she's forced to face the music for stealing Joy Fishwick's inheritance and also finds herself under suspicion of much more serious crimes.

Fiz goes from victim to suspect next week as the police quiz her over everything that's happened in the past year, forcing her to reveal the truth over her fraud and everything that her husband got up to.

The devoted mum appears in court charged with fraud next Thursday, and while she's expected to secure bail, the police's investigations continue and her ultimate fate remains unclear.

One recent tabloid report suggested that Fiz will find herself implicated in the deaths of Joy, Colin Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle in the coming weeks, leaving her fearing that she'll be sent to prison for murder. The apparent plot leak remains unconfirmed, but the report in question stated that Fiz will decide to give her baby daughter Hope away to Roy and Hayley Cropper as she prepares for the worst.

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Jennie McAlpine - who plays Fiz - expressed excitement over her character's future, commenting: "What I can say is that it doesn't end here. This is what Corrie does so brilliantly, as it's the end in one way, but in another way it's just the beginning… It's the start of some whole new stories which could run for months and years. So I think it'll be exciting stuff!"

McAlpine also told us that Fiz is likely have the support of her family and friends throughout, revealing: "It's only really the usual suspects who don't support her. I'm actually surprised by how many people support her. Everyone says, 'Oh no, not our Fiz! No, never!' I'm like Mother Theresa on that street!"

As for John, all we know is that actor Graeme Hawley has filmed his final scenes as the hapless villain, but tonight's climax to his dark story has clearly left things open-ended for the future. Your guess is as good as ours with this one!

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.....

I suppose it could. I thought it was really weird when they said it was just like he disappeared!
