CORONATION Street fans are predicting a killer twist after Beth Tinker confessed to hitting Hope Stape.
The knicker stitcher – who is played by actress Lisa George in the ITV soap – slapped Hope after she framed her dog for a bite.
Coronation Street fans know Beth’s dog Peanut terrorised Hope’s chinchilla to death, leaving the schoolgirl devastated.
Her plot for revenge however, spiralled out of control when Peanut was threatened with being put to sleep.
Hope confessed and when she apologised to Beth, Beth slapped her – and then lied about it so no-one would believe Hope.
However tonight when Hope found Beth with her parents she was furious and fled.
Running out after her, Beth told her: “Hope, wait.
“I’ve only got little legs. Look I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have slapped you, I’m sorry. But you pushed me too far.
“Now listen, you’ve learned a lesson and I’ve learned a lesson so let’s call it quits, yeah?
“I’m sorry about Cilla the chinchilla. She was a cute little thing and you gave her a wonderful thing.
“Here, get some sweets for you and your sister and cheer yourself up. And any time you want to call round for a cuddle off peanut, just say the word.”
Hope replied: “I’ll say the word – cow.”
And fans think Beth should be terrified of Hope’s revenge.
One wrote: “I think that Beth DID slap Hope. But the little minx deserve it if she did.”
A second said: “Betcha Beth did slap Hope’s face.”
Another added: “She did it! Watch out.”
