Insiders have claimed that Coronation Street’s John Stape is set to die after committing suicide.
The troubled new dad is wracked with guilt after covering up three murders and while no official confirmation has yet been received, sources say that when his storyline comes to a head, the character will take his own life later this year.
John (Graeme Hawley) watched his former colleague Colin Fishwick – whose identity he had stolen so he could become a teacher again after spending time in jail for kidnapping Rosie Webster – die from a heart attack before burying his body in the foundations of the Underworld factory.
He then killed Charlotte Hoyle after she began blackmailing him over Colin’s death and he then murdered Colin’s mother Joy as she tried to track down her son.
When a disaster at Underworld sparks fresh building work, John – who has a three-month-old daughter, Hope, with wife Fiz – fears Colin’s body will be exposed so decides to commit suicide.
News of John’s departure won’t come as a surprise as he recently revealed he expects his alter-ego to be killed off whenever his six-month contract is up for renewal.
He has said: “Every six months I expect to be gone. I can’t see there being a happy ever after for John Stape. But I just turn up, do what I’m told and don’t think about it.”
