Coronation Street viewers predict Hope will turn killer

Is Hope set to follow in her father's footsteps?

Coronation Street viewers have predicted that Hope Stape will turn killer in a shock new development on the show.

This week’s episode of the soap saw Tyrone get Hope a pet chinchilla – which they named Cilla.

However, viewers have predicted that the arrival of Cilla may take a darker turn.

Hope’s behaviour has become worrying in recent months, after learning the truth about her father, killer John Stape.

After becoming obsessed with her dad, Hope was suspended from school after threatening classmates with a hammer.

And now, as Cilla the chinchilla arrives in the Dobbs’ household, viewers have predicted that Hope could kill again.
