Coronation Street's latest on-screen newlywed Jennie McAlpine has branded Fiz and John Stape (Graeme Hawley) as "love's young dream".

When asked why Fiz married her incarcerated fiancé-turned-husband, she insisted: "She loves him! What is the word… love's young dream."

She added: "We've had to write Fiz Stape on the scripts now, which is really weird. It's going to be on the credits, too… I want Brown back because she's an independent woman, but she's married now."
