'Coronation Street' killer to make deathbed confession?

Coronation Street's John Stape will finally confess to his dark crimes after being critically injured in a car accident, a report has claimed.

The Weatherfield villain, played by Graeme Hawley, returns to screens next month and it is thought that he soon causes chaos by kidnapping Rosie Webster for a second time.

John's latest antics result in a high-speed car chase as Kevin Webster dramatically tries to rescue his daughter, according to the Daily Star.

However, the newspaper claims that John is killed off after he loses control of his vehicle, causing it to somersault through the air.

When it becomes clear that John will not pull through, he allegedly uses his last moments to speak to the police in hospital, confessing his involvement in the deaths of Colin Fishwick, Joy Fishwick and Charlotte Hoyle before passing away himself.

As John's wrongfully-accused wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) has just been found guilty of murder, it is thought that she must then face an appeal to secure her freedom.

The latest plot rumours remain unconfirmed by Coronation Street bosses, but Graeme Hawley has been spotted filming with the soap in the past week in time for Fiz's trial.
