Corrie spoiler: Hope's digger drama has 'disastrous consequences' for Fiz and Phill

Coronation Street's Hope Stape is set to go to extreme lengths in order to try and stop her mum Fiz from moving in with Phill Whittaker.

New images show the youngster acting up as she tries to ensure that Fiz's future plans with boyfriend Phill ends in tears.

Hope (Isabella Flanagan) heads off on a wrecking spree in a stolen digger following a bust-up with Phill.

Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) and Phill (Jamie Kenna) will be in the middle of renovating a new house that they plan to live in together, when Hope threatens Phil by jumping in the digger which is on site at the property.

Despite his pleas to get down, Hope manages to get the digger working and it results in disastrous consequences as she smashes it into the windscreen of his silver car.

In some of the images, actress Isabella looks terrified and menacing all at once as she sits in the driver's seat and attempts to manoeuvre the huge piece of machinery.

How will Phill react to the accident? And will it be enough for him to change his mind about moving in with Fiz and her kids?

Fiz and Phill first struck up a romance after meeting on a dating app when Fiz was heartbroken after Tyrone Dobbs left her for newcomer Alina Pop.

The couple's relationship appeared to have gone from strength-to-strength and they're now taking the massive step in deciding to live together.

However, Hope is not impressed with Fiz having moved on and clearly doesn't want to live with Phill.

During Hope's early life she was afflicted by health problems, including a cancer diagnosis at the age of four.

She fully recovered, and developed behavioural problems starting in 2017, with signs of pyromania.

In 2020, she tried to run away with her half-sister Jade Rowan after Jade fabricated evidence that the girls were being abused at home.

Hope is clearly not a fan of Fiz's boyfriend Phill Whittaker (ITV)

The following year, when Tyrone left Fiz for Alina Pop, Hope started a fire at 2a Coronation Street, causing Alina to lose the baby she and Tyrone were expecting. A youth rehabilitation order was imposed on Hope and she began seeing a counsellor.

Will Fiz finally realise that Hope needs more help? And will it be enough for her to move back to Coronation Street so that they can be closer to Tyrone?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
