Coronation Street spoilers: Phill’s secret exposed as Hope Stape takes violent revenge on him to protect mum Fiz

SINCE his arrival in the cobbles, Phill Whittaker has been shrouded with mystery, seemingly too good to be true.

But next week in Coronation Street, young Hope Stape uncovers one of his secrets and acts out to protect her mum Fiz.

What is Phill (portrayed by Jamie Kenna) hiding?

While he has been romantically involved with Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine), ITV viewers who are too familiar with the way things go in Weatherfield have remained suspicious of him.

Fiz’s former flame Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) is just as unconvinced by his behaviour, especially after catching him with a mysterious envelope.

Coming up, Tyrone is still wary of Phill and what he is up to – but Hope (Isabella Flanagan) is one step ahead of him.

The eleven-year-old borrows Phill’s laptop and learns the truth, knowing his secret could hurt her mother Fiz.

The long-standing Coronation Street resident left the cobbles to start afresh with her new beau.

Known for her reactive behaviour, the young girl decides to retaliate in true Hope Stape fashion.

In later scenes, Phill hears the noise of the mini-digger on the driveway and dashes round the house to see what’s going on.

He’s horrified to see Hope aboard a giant digger left unattended moments before by someone working on Phill and Fiz’s new fancy house.

As he pulls a lever, the digger’s arm swings round, smashing the windscreen on his car.

Hope has continuously wreaked havoc in Corrie and her volatile attitude has been proven dangerous.

But will she face any consequences for her actions?

While Phill’s secret remains to come to light, much like his reaction to Hope’s outburst, the latter is also set to squabble again with Tyrone.

The mechanic has been waiting in the wings for Fiz, despite her having moved on with Phill.

Next week, Tyrone calls at Phill’s house to collect Fiz’s things, hoping they’ll be reunited.

But a row ensues and as Tyrone makes a grab for Phill, they lose their balance and fall headlong into the wet cement on the patio.

An alarmed Phill scours the wet concrete and reveals he has lost an engagement ring.

Could Fiz overlook Phill’s secret to finally get her happy ending?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
