Twisted firestarter?

A fire breaks out at the salon flat… Is troublesome Hope to blame?

Is Weatherfield’s mini-firestarter, Hope Stape, at it again? It looks that way when a blaze breaks out at the salon flat this week… as pregnant Alina is asleep in bed!

Omen child has certainly got her mean and moody face on. Spending time with her daddy, she feels neglected as he plans drinks to celebrate Alina’s pregnancy and becomes more miffed when he dashes off to the hospital with his young girlfriend, who has stomach pains and fears something’s wrong.

It looks like Hope has calmed down when the couple return, and she gives Alina a toy dinosaur for the nipper. But when she overhears them gushing about the fact they’re having a boy, her anger rises and she steals Alina’s flat keys.
