Coronation Street: 10 January 2011

As accidental serial killers go, John Stape must be the most entertaining. Even his confession was a farce, and I don't suppose many people would believe he'd left Colin Fishwick's body under a knicker factory. Colin's mother is poor old Mrs Fishwick, who is sometimes Joy to John sometimes not, is the latest victim in his unplanned spree and it looks like he might not be able to talk his way out of this one. Two empty bowls and his fingerprints everywhere including the tin opener; his phone number in Mrs Fishwick's phone; need I go on? Hopefully he will stay out of prison for at least a few years, though. While he's still on the scene, perhaps he could be instrumental in doing away with annoying Tracey or Chris the builder who is obviously going to beat Maria to smithereens in the not so distant future.
