Corrie's John teases identity theft plot

Coronation Street star Graeme Hawley has teased his characters continuing identity-theft plot.

Viewers will see John Stape's lies begin to unravel when he is accused of cheating by an angry husband.

"John hasn't been cheating but Colin Fishwick, whose identity John is using, has - and the husband thinks John is Colin," Hawley told What's On TV.

"Luckily he's not home, but Ches (Sam Aston) is and John and Fiz have to tell him everything in order to explain."

Things go from bad to worse for John when he finds out that Colin is returning and he is forced to admit what he has been up to.

"[Colin]'s shocked and says he'll have to go away and think about things. But he promises John he won't go to the police," said Hawley.

Speaking about upcoming scenes, he revealed that the husband returns looking for him.

"He finds John - who he thinks is Colin and punches him. Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) sees it and demands to know if John's cheating. He tells her it's a mix-up," he said. "Charlotte (Becky Hindley) gets ideas though. She's loving the excitement and starts blackmailing John for his body or she goes to the police."

Hawley added: "John has ten balls up in the air so one or two are bound to drop."
