Coronation Street: 30 May 2011

We'll miss John Stape when he's gone, so now's the time to make the most of him. He's an all rounder - Stan Laurel look-a-like, serial killer, and citer of English literature quotations at, depending on your point of view, the most inopportune or relevant moments. Quoting 'ill met by moonlight' while dumping the corpse of Colin Fishwick is a case in point. Here's hoping he just gets carted off for a while and makes perennial comebacks, but I can't help thinking his time is up and the black cab of doom awaits. If only he could bump of a few others before his departure, such as Becky, Tracey, Tommy and Becky's horrible sister.
