Evelyn Plummer (played by Maureen Lipman) suspects Hope caused the salon flat fire in Coronation Street tonight (ITV, 8:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

In tonight’s second episode of Coronation Street, Evelyn and Hope clock Craig talking to the fire investigation officer and Hope questions whether the person who started the fire will get into trouble. 

Evelyn’s suspicions grow and she suggests to Fiz that Hope might know more about the fire than she’s letting on. Fiz is shocked and immediately leaps to her defence. 

At the salon flat, Alina’s sadness is evident as she realises all the things they’d bought for the baby have been destroyed. Having gone over the fire officer’s findings in her mind, Alina tells Tyrone that in order for the fire to have started in the cot, someone must have moved the candle.

It's clear that Hope is worried she will be found out.
