Coronation Street fans were aghast as Fiz Stape told her daughter Hope about her late father John in Monday night's episode. Corrie viewers blasted Fiz for glossing over the truth as she gave 11-year-old Hope a potted history of the serial killer teacher.
Soap devotees accused Fiz of 'victim blaming' his former pupil Rosie Webster, who John had an affair with when she was 16, as she tried to explain to Hope what had driven John to kidnap and kill. John's affair with Rosie was exposed in dramatic fashion on Christmas Day 2007.
Kevin Webster attacked John when he found out that the teacher had been sleeping with his daughter. He was fired from his job but blamed Rosie for the downturn in his fortunes and kidnapped her, locking her up in his dead grandmother’s attic for five weeks before she managed to escape.

John was sent to prison and he married Fiz while he was still behind bars. After his release John pretended to be his ex teaching colleague Colin Fishwick who had emigrated to Canada, but his deception was discovered by fellow teacher Charlotte Hoyle and she began blackmailing him.
When Colin returned to the UK he confronted John and Charlotte but died of a brain haemorrhage in the middle of an argument. Fearing their secret was about to be exposed the pair put Colin’s body down a hole in the floor at Underworld factory which was being repaired.
But events took another dark turn when an obsessed Charlotte went to attack him with a hammer and he hit her over the head with it. She died of brain damage in hospital after John tried to make it appear as though she had been caught up in the Corrie 50th anniversary
