Will Hope’s pain push her over the edge?

When did Tyrone become the Tyson Fury of Weatherfield? Not content with punching Nick, he now hits the writer of the John Stape book.

Alas, this ends up bringing publication forward, and when a video of the assault goes viral, Tyrone is arrested. Hope then announces she wants to stay with Chesney, and gosh, you’ve got to be desperate to want to stay there. There isn’t even a spare laundry basket for a bed.

In Fiz’s failed attempt to hide the book’s publicity, Hope comes face to face with a cardboard cut-out of her serial killer father Stape in the outhouse (above). Still, I’d rather that creepy event than coming face to face with Hope in an outhouse; when will they get that kid the help she so desperately needs? Goodness knows what this latest trauma will do to her. Will it push her over the edge? Doubtful.

There are no more left — she’s a human lemming.

Huge credit to Isabella Flanagan, who plays her, as it’s not the easiest of roles.

Intent on tracking down Fern, who framed her for the jewellery robbery, Bernie comes face to face with Howard, Fern’s former husband, who reveals she’s a con artist. Yer don’t say. Will he help Bernie in her endeavours?

At least there’s someone who finally recognises that the women look nothing like one another.
