Evelyn Plummer was immediately suspicious of Hope’s live-in tutor Jade Rowan - and so are Coronation Street viewers.
Weatherfield newcomer Jade has moved into the Stape and Brown household after being asked by Fiz to help with her troubled daughter.
Jade worked with Hope at a specialist school in Birmingham, but the family need her help in Weatherfield after the mother and daughter moved back to Weatherfield and Fiz decided to home tutor her.
Viewers have come up with a horrifying theory over who Jade, played by Lottie Henshall, might be and the havoc she might cause.
"I wonder if Jade is related to John," tweeted one fan, referring to Fiz's murderer late husband John Stape.
"So here's my theory.. Jade will be some relation to John Stape.. my guess is his sister who will try to kill Fiz," said another.
Played by Graeme Hawley the character was killed off in 2011 after covering up teacher Colin Fishwick's death from a heart attack so he could take on his identity, killing Colin's mother Joy Fishwick and murdering his colleague Charlotte Hoyle
The character died after crashing his car into the back of a lorry, during a car chase with Kevin Webster.
Suspicions over mysterious Jade were sparked further when she was seen altering a drawing Hope had done to look like Fiz, next to the words "and then you die."
"You can see this storyline panning out ... Jade’s weird and a bit single white female, Evelyn tries to convince everyone else she’s bad for Hope but they don’t believe her," said one viewer.
"Jade is a psycho teacher/nanny. I’ve worked out her plan - she's gonna kill Fiz and steal her family," said another.
