Coronation Street: Hope lied that Peanut had bitten her

Last night, Hope asked Sam if he could borrow Vin Diesel the Weasel from the barbers.

Sam went to Maria and managed to bring the weasel back for Hope.

Hope then planned out her revenge, placing the weasel’s mouth on her arm, creating bite marks.

Afterwards, Hope spotted Beth and Peanut outside and walked up to Peanut, pretending that he had bitten her.

As she screamed, she showed Beth her bite mark, with it drawing blood.

She then told Beth that Peanut had bitten her.

Later on, Fiz sat Hope down after she had had a tetanus jab at the hospital.

Hope asked if Peanut would need to have training.

Fiz then revealed that Peanut might need to be put down.

Hope was shocked by the revelation.

But, could Peanut die?
