John Stape is a fictional character from the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by actor Graeme Hawley. He made his first on-screen appearance during the episode airing on 6 May 2007.[2] The character departed on 3 June 2011 after four years on the show. Hawley made a short return to Coronation Street from 21 October 2011 until 28 October 2011 when he was killed off.
The character has been at the centre of some major storylines such as the kidnap of local teenager Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan), stealing the identity and covering up Colin Fishwick's (David Crellin) death from a heart attack, the manslaughter of Joy Fishwick (Doreen Mantle) and the murder of Charlotte Hoyle (Becky Hindley). The character was married to Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) with whom he has a daughter called Hope. John Stape died in October 2011 after crashing his car into the back of a lorry, during a car chase with Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell). In 2019, it was revealed that John has a daughter, Jade Rowan (Lottie Henshall).[1]
Graeme Hawley reprised the role after eleven years in December 2022, although in the form of a recording made by John Stape prior to his death.[3]
