Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) is horrified when daughter Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) starts a fire and almost kills Alina Pop (Ruxandra Porojnicu), but will she come clean about her jealous kid\u2019s crime?<\/p>\n

Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) makes an emotional confession about her struggles through the pandemic, James Bailey (Nathan Graham) vows to prove he was a victim of police racism, and Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) makes a new enemy.<\/p>\n

Here are all your\u00a0Coronation Street<\/a>\u00a0spoilers for\u00a02nd \u2013 6th August 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hope kills Alina?<\/h2>\n
\""coronation\"<\/div>\n

Hope\u2019s jealousy of her unborn baby brother boils over into full-on rage as she spits to a stunned Fiz she hopes he\u2019s never born. The girl is straight sent up to bed, but having secretly swiped Alina\u2019s keys to the salon flat while visiting earlier, Hope sneaks out and lets herself in to retrieve a cuddly toy she left there. Suspiciously, a fire breaks out while Alina sleeps\u2026<\/p>\n

As the neighbours notice and sound the alarm, Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) is called back from wetting the baby\u2019s head just as Alina is being carted off in an ambulance. Thankfully she and the baby seem okay, but the mum-to-be is mortified to learn the fire was started by one of her aromatherapy candles. But there is more to the story\u2026<\/p>

Fiz\u2019s shock discovery<\/h2>\n

Further investigation into the inferno reveals an accelerant substance was used to deliberately make the fire worse, then Alina realises the candle must\u2019ve been moved to the cot and her keys are missing \u2013 thus the search for the arsonist begins. Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman) is the first to clock Hope\u2019s jittery behaviour and shares her fears with Fiz her great granddaughter might know more about the fire than she\u2019s letting on.<\/p>\n

Fiz braces herself to ask Hope if there\u2019s anything she\u2019d like to share with mummy, such as \u2018Did you try and burn Daddy\u2019s new girlfriend to a crisp while she was asleep?\u2019 By the end of the week Fiz and Tyrone have some difficult decisions to make about Hope\u2019s actions, while Alina points the finger at her fella\u2019s aggrieved ex for starting the blaze. Will Mr Dobbs dob his daughter in or let someone else take the blame?<\/p>\n

James fights the police<\/h2>\n
\""coronation\"<\/div>\n

James is disappointed when his complaint against the police for suspected racial profiling hits a dead end and he\u2019s told it won\u2019t be taken any further. When quizzed by the Bailey boy as to why he didn\u2019t report what he saw on the day of the attack, conflicted Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) feels awkward having been told by his cop colleague to close ranks.<\/p>\n

PC Tinker then realises just how un-PC his mate PC Brody is when it comes to attitudes to people of colour after some shocking comments, and realises by keeping quiet he\u2019s enabling racist behaviour. Refusing to let the matter lie and blow over, James decides to appeal his complaint\u2026<\/p>\n

Izzy confesses all<\/h2>\n

While speaking to Izzy on Zoom, Sarah Barlow (Tina O\u2019Brien) accidentally lets slip the order the machinist believes she\u2019s still working on from home has already been delivered. Angrily confronting her Underworld bosses for not being honest, Izzy feels humiliated while Sarah and Carla Barlow (Alison King) turn on each other for their bad handling of the situation.<\/p>\n

Once tempers settle, Izzy calls the factory and finally admits the extent of how much she\u2019s struggled through the pandemic and the impact of shielding on her confidence and general mental health. Carla and Sarah are devastated to hear of what their employee has endured and vow to make things right, but could Fergus Dunford (Toby Hadoke) prove to be more than just a kindly neighbour to Izzy as she thanks him for his support?<\/p>\n
