Corrie - John Stape Storyline

[supersuezy24]

Anyone else think they have dragged this storyline out way too long, it's so beyond ridiculous at this stage..the characters are just grating now.

But can someone tell me why they are digging up the factory floor?

[sherrardk]

They are digging up the factory floor as there is (conveniently) a problem with the drains.

[supersuezy24]

Ah right, thanks sherrard :)

[sandyRoe]

Is there a body blocking the drains? Haven't watched Corrie for a while.

[sherrardk]

Isn't it Colin Fishwick's body (its been draggin on so long I have started to lose the plot)?

[mike11111]

Yes, Colin Fishwick was dumped under the factory floor when it was being renovated after the fire caused by Carla's ex. Seems like a lifetime ago now.

[supersuezy24]

When did this storyline actually start?

[mike11111]

It's so long ago now and there have been so many ramifications that it is almost impossible to pinpoint a beginning. It must be at least well over 2 years now. If I remember correctly Stape first appeared as Rosie's English teacher who offered to coach her mother (Sally) through A Level English. Sally had the hots for him, but he ended up kidnapping Rosie and going to prison. Whilst in prison he married Fiz. I'm afraid my head is beginning to hurt at this point so I'll let someone else take over the story.

mike you have a brilliant memory! I'd forgotten most of that.
I agree suezy, this story and Becky/Maxy/Steve/Amy and Graham and Jing (sp?) have gone on way too long. Boring.

... He got a job at Roy's Rolls but wasn't happy. Got a job teaching and met Charlotte on a course. Went to Colin Fishwick's party (as he was emigrating) and stole his personal details. Got another job (first lot found out he had a criminal record) and pretended to be Colin, told the people on the 'street' that he was working in a furniture store. Charlotte had the hots for him (she was a bit bonkers) - cant remember the next bit. Someone else's turn ...

[dotty.]

Colin was having an affiar woth someone and the husband came and punched John cos he thought Johnw as colin, then colin turned back up from america and found out what john had done and john killed him

[Jemisa]

Didn't you watch tonight? John found CFs body, in his little head he thinks he'll dispose of it before anyone else finds out BUT... Fizz turns up to see what John's up to ans **Shock Horror** see's the body. - It ends there...

John and Charlotte then got rid of Colin's body in the hole in the factory floor ( during renovations). The floor was then concreted......

[TTG]

Then he killed Charlotte but due to the tram crash, he got away with it. Everyone thought the crash had killed Charlotte. Then John killed Colin Fishwicks mother but got away with it. He pretended to be a delivery man.......sorry even explaining this makes my brain hurt! * Bangs head a few times with hand *.

[Arti]

All the way through, gormless Fiz has been unbelievably thick, putting up with John saying that he's 'just nipping out', 'got something to do' etc every ten minutes

[Arti]

The John had a breakdown and Fiz started to spend the inheritance money from CF's mum, while john was in the mental hozzy....

[mike11111]

In fairness, John didn't "kill" Colin. He pushed him in the chest and he collapsed and died. The efforts of John and Charlotte to dispose of the body wrapped in a carpet and stuffed in a wheely bin were some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen in Corrie. To be honest, I'll be sad when it's all over. I still miss that nice Richard Hillman.

[Arti]

Then Chesney became Hetty Wainthropp......

[bloomwood]

Dont think John actually killed Colin Fishcake, if I remember Colin dropped down dead after being beaten up,then stupid John and deluded unbalanced Charlotte buried him in the factory.

[JMR27]

How long have Chesney and Charlotte's mum and dad been trapped in the cellar? They don't ever seem to have visited the bathroom lol

[Arti]

....and ended up in a (conveniently) soundproofed cellar with Charlotte's mum and dad, all three tied up and held captive by nice John
