Corrie fans in SHOCK after Jade Rowan revealed as John Stape's daughter
Viewers knew there was something weird about her!
Coronation Street viewers have had a weird feeling about newcomer Jade Rowan since she stepped foot on the cobbles in September. After joining Fiz on her return to Weatherfield from Birmingham, Jade has taken up residence in her house with Tyrone and his grandmother Evelyn.
Evelyn has had her own suspicions about Jade, but it seems that no-one else has been bothered by her. However, in last night's episode (27th Nov), fans were proven right as it was revealed that Jade is none other than the daughter of John Stape.
Die-hard Corrie fans will remember John from his rather eventful stint on the show between 2007 - 2011. He dated Fiz and had an affair with student Rosie Webster. After getting fired from his job, he kidnapped Rosie - although he was jailed for two years, Fiz married him and had daughter Hope. He then killed various people and kidnapped Rosie once again before crashing his car and dying.
Not a nice guy.
When Jade visited a graveyard in tears last night, she read a few lines from 'Paradise Lost' and began talking to her dead father - as the camera panned around and showed the name on the grave was John Stape.

Ahead of the wedding, Michelle convinces Robert that it would be a good idea to sign over half the Bistro to her before they tie the knot.
When Carla finds Robert having second thoughts after agreeing to sign the papers, and persuasive Carla manages to talk him round and despite being skeptical, he eventually signs them.
As the soon-to-be-married enjoy their pre-wedding celebrations at the bistro, they're interrupted by a heavily pregnant Vicky.
A vengeful Vicky tells Robert that she's going to ruin him for every penny that he's got, leading Michelle to suggest that her name should be on the deed instead.
Under Michelle's orders, Robert heads over to Vicky's house to let her know she's banned from the wedding. To explain his absence, Michelle says he's gone to help Tyler with something.
At Vicky's house, her neighbour overhears a loud crash, before Robert leaves through the front door. Back at the church Robert assures Michelle that Vicky won't be interrupting.
With the ceremony underway, Michelle prepares to expose the truth about him but as Robert reads out his own heartfelt vows, will she have a change of heart?
As the vows are read and Robert and Michelle prepare to be pronounced man and wife but Vicky's son Tyler barges into the church.
As Tyler demands to know what's happened to his mum, Michelle's heart is in her mouth as she remembers Robert telling her about Vicky.

Elsewhere, Evelyn grows suspicious of Jade when she remains elusive about her new job, despite Evelyn's tough questioning.
And when she remains totally emotionless as she packs up and leaves Fiz at number 9 for the last time, Evelyn is certain she's up to something.
Meanwhile, Sean unknowingly makes things awkward for Paul and Billy when he demands to know why Billy isn't putting up Christmas decorations this year.
Forcing Paul into a confession, the factory workers are stunned when Paul explains that he was abused by Kel as a child and is preparing to give a statement.
After he speaks to police, Paul is left disheartened when he tells Bernie, Billy and Chesney that his evidence felt flimsy and he's sure Kel will get off.
Determined to avenge her son, Bernie visits the precinct and writes "paedo" under Kel's picture on the security noticeboard.
When Kel spots Bernie's vandalism he's furious, and in the ensuing scuffle Chesney accidentally smashes Kel's head into a wall.
As they're escorted off the premises, a downtrodden Paul tells Bernie she's probably jeopardised the case even further by assaulting Paul.
Over lunch at the Bistro with Maria, Gary spots Sarah and Gary and immediately grows suspicious and distracted, leaving Maria hurt.
When Gary clocks that his behavior made Maria think he still fancied Sarah, Gary turns up at the barber shop with flowers as an apology.
But Gary's suspicions are not entirely unfounded, as Nick and Sarah have secretly agreed to meet up with Gary's former associate Derek.
Having had a difficult time with the factory, Nick and Sarah agree to buy it back off Derek.
Meanwhile, Seb and Emma are growing closer, but when Seb would rather meet friends in town than hang out with her, Emma is hurt.
But it's all just a decoy, and when Seb presents Emma with tickets to an Iron Maiden tribute band – Bryan Maiden – Emma is over the moon.
Fans were utterly stunned, taking to Twitter to share their shock. One wrote, 'OMG John stape is jade's dad', as another added, 'What just happened!' and one other commented, 'Now that is a twist I didn’t see coming.'
Actress Lottie Henshall told Metro.co.uk, "She is genuinely convinced that Fiz is a bad person and that’s what she has been told – she’s been fed lies all her life. She is convinced John loved her and Fiz killed him. When you have been fed that, you’re brainwashed, aren’t you?"
