CORONATION Street knicker stitcher Fiz Stape will name her baby Hope in the aftermath of the Great Tram Crash which has been filmed for the 50th anniversary.

The new mum, played by Jennie McAlpine, will be devastated by the death and destruction which strikes Weatherfield at Christmas when a tram careers off the viaduct and into the Street.

But she's determined the birth of her new daughter should herald a new era as the Street survivors slowly start to rebuild their lives - and names the tiny tot Hope.

The tram crash, due to be screened in December, will see at least THREE characters die.

Those tipped to be crushed among the rubble include Nick Tilsley, played by Ben Price, Janice Battersby (Vicky Entwistle) and Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden).

A source told TV Biz: "The Great Tram Crash will make great compulsive viewing but bosses don't want it to be all doom and gloom.

"The birth of baby Hope will show viewers and characters alike that life goes on.

"There will be some really tender scenes.

"Everyone loves a baby and the residents will be queueing up to meet her."
