Tyrone (Alan Halsall) previously caught his daughter sneaking out the house after Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) made a shock finding.
But things are about to get a whole lot worse for the household with Hope’s (Isabella Flanagan) antics.
However, an unsuspecting Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is getting ready to celebrate her exciting 40th birthday with her family.
She has booked to go to the bistro for a lovely meal with her husband Tyrone on Coronation Street.
However, the mechanic will then receive a text from Hope’s school, as the teachers have made a shocking discovery.
Hope has a secret vaping habit and it’s about to come to the forefront of the long-running soap.
The question is, how will Fiz and Tyrone initially react and deal with the situation?
They will decide to try and talk some sense into their daughter over the dangers of the drug.
As they lecture Hope on the harmful effects of vaping, it seems she has other ideas.
She is just not interested in listening to her parents and she will then decide to take desperate measures to get her hands on a new stash.
The troubled teenager will try to steal some vapes from the corner shop to fulfill her nicotine cravings.
However, just as she’s leaving Dev’s outlet, she will knock some of the vapes off the shelf.
Aadi (Adam Hussain) cannot help but notice the vapes that lie on the floor and his interest will be piqued from there.
Has Hope been caught yet again?

POOR Sonia has been locked up on suspicion of murdering Reiss’s wife Debbie Colwell, but EastEnders locals are going to show their allegiances as they rally around her.
The woman was shocked when she got clapped in handcuffs by cops at her engagement party.

BBCReiss is now coming under suspicion as Sonia’s sister begins to suspect he is the real killer[/caption]
Sadly, because Sonia had kindly come to fluff up Debbie’s pillow shortly before her death and left fingerprints behind, she got framed for the murder.
Initially Walford residents did suspect that Sonia had done the deed to make sure Reiss was in a position to marry her.
However, upcoming episodes are going to see them change their mind and become supportive.
The tide began to turn when Kim Fox publicly backed Sonia, insisting on her innocence.
Alfie Moon then went on to make a box of T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan ‘Save Our Sonia’.
Now the Mitchells will throw their weight behind the nurse as well, creating a fundraiser in support of her.
Sonia’s half-sister Bianca has been taking the accusations against her family member very seriously and skips a GP appointment to attend the event at Mitchell’s Autos.
Besides offering her support financially, Bianca also starts publicly accusing Reiss of being the killer.
When he is banned from attending Debbie’s funeral, a sympathetic Martin decides to host a wake at The Vic so Reiss can pay his respects to his dead wife.
But when he starts to read out his eulogy for the woman he murdered, Bianca bursts into the pub, demanding answers.
She tries interrogating him, and when that doesn’t work, she goes on to try a new tactic.
Will Bianca be able to get a confession out of Reiss before it is too late and Sonia gets convicted for a crime she didn’t commit?
Sonia Fowler’s biggest EastEnders storylines
Sonia Fowler has featured in EastEnders since 1993, and after starring in thousands of episodes, has been featured in storylines ranging from teenage pregnancy to a cancer scare. Here are some of her biggest.
Teen Pregnancy and Birth of Chloe Jackson (1999-2000) Sonia discovered she was pregnant at the age of 15. Viewers were shocked by the sudden birth, as the teen went into labour without even realising she was pregnant. Martin Fowler turned out to be Chloe’s father. Sonia initially decided to give the girl up for adoption.
Death of her boyfriend (2002) Sonia’s boyfriend, Jamie Mitchell, was hit by a car driven by her baby’s father. Jamie had just bought an engagement ring for his girlfriend before being struck down by the thoughtless Martin, who was texting while driving. Although the Jamie was rushed to hospital, docs said his liver was irreparably damaged, and he ended up dying with Sonia by his side.
Marriage to Martin Fowler and Family Tensions (2004-2007) In a shock twist Sonia went on to marry the man responsible for her previous boyfriend’s death. Their relationship was marred by conflicts and infidelity, and they went on to split up after just three years. At one point in their marriage Sonia was taken hostage by Sarah Cairns, who became obsessed with Martin after he flirted with her during a drunken night out. The couple went through struggles again when the adoptive parents of their daughter were killed in a car crash, leaving them responsible for Rebecca. Because of the tension in their relationship Sonia ended up cheating on her husband with one of her co-workers, nurse Naomi Julien.
Custody Battle for Rebecca (2005-2007) Baby Chloe, who was renamed Rebecca, was kidnapped by her mum early in life before being returned to her adoptive parents. After Neil and Sue Miller died they awarded Martin full custody of the child because of Sonia’s extra-marital affair. The mum was left distraught to be cut out of her daughter’s life.
Gastric Band Surgery and Weight Struggles (2014-2015) Sonia became insecure about her weight and arranged to have a secret gastric band surgery in Bulgaria. She later collapsed at an exercise class after suffering complications from the operation.
Discovery of Bex’s Suicide Attempt (2019) Sonia’s daughter Rebecca tried to take her own life in a heartbreaking storyline which left viewers in tears. She found Bex unconscious after taking an overdose, and was devastated. Sonia blamed herself for pushing her daughter to breaking point, as she had tried to force her into going to Oxford despite Bex saying she didn’t feel ready for university.

AMELIA Spencer has been hiding a dark secret about Tom King in Emmerdale, but it is set to be exposed next week.
It was revealed earlier this month that Amelia (Daisy Campbell) is romantically involved with Tom King (James Chase) and that they’d been keeping their affair secret for weeks.

Amelia has been at the centre of drama in Emmerdale in recent weeks as her baby daddy Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) was sent to prison. The teen mum also broke up with her boyfriend Noah (Jack Downham) before announcing her new relationship with the villainous vet.
Eventually Belle worked up the strength to leave her husband but he continued to manipulate her and keep tabs on her with hidden cameras.
When Tom went missing last week Belle hoped the ordeal was over, but it seems he’s not that far away.
After some digging, Amy (Elle Mulvaney) and Kerry (Laura Norton) both suspect that Amelia must still be in contact with Tom.
And that’s not all, as a dark secret about 18-year-old Amelia will be revealed next week – it seems she’s taken Tom’s side against Belle as the two make a plan together.
In scenes airing next week, Amelia will seek out Belle to talk about Tom, but the situation will take a terrifying turn.
After discovering the camera Tom hid in Dale Head, Belle considers reporting Tom to the police but she is afraid of having to relive everything she’s been through.
Whilst Belle’s left thoughtful, Lydia’s upset after bringing the memories back to life, but hopes it has aided Belle.
That evening, the pair reflect on their difficult day as they gaze over the Dingle land.
United in their support for each other, Lydia hopes she’s said enough to encourage Belle to go to the police.
As she ponders what to do, it seems that Amelia has revised her opinion of Tom and may offer some additional information before she makes her choice.
The teen reaches out to Belle in the hope of meeting privately to talk about him.
But Amelia can’t be trusted in this regard as she is now under Tom’s influence.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
Alone at the Dingle’s, Belle waits for Amelia but is horror-struck when Tom lets himself in, blocks her exit and proceeds to lock the doors.
