She's back from Birmingham, and badder than ever.
Coronation Street demon child Hope Stape was taken away from Weatherfield last year for special education after displaying some disturbing behaviour - but it doesn't seem to have worked at all.
In fact, the daughter of serial killer John Stape is now putting lives at risk.
With no thought of the danger ahead eight-year-old Hope broke into the Underworld factory and set fire to it - and neighbour Ali Neeson raced to her rescue inside the burning building.
Hope, who went missing while her mum Fiz rowed with partner Tyrone Dobbs, made up a story about two boys vandalising the factory.
And there was a creepy twist as she was unmasked as the real culprit, proving Tyrone's suspicions correct.
Scowling and skulking on the stairs back at home, Hope beheaded a creepy looking doll and revealed a lighter hidden inside.
"Hope has future serial killer written all over her!!" tweeted one fan.
"Lighter and de heading a doll, getting like a horror film," said another.
"Tonight’s nightmare will consist of Hope and that doll," worried a third Corrie watcher.
"Hope, demon child," said another.
Before she left to make a new start in November with mum Fiz she put Evelyn Plummer's dog Cerberus on a tram to Rochdale and bit Tyrone's daughter Ruby.
Fiz thought Ruby, her partner's daughter with his ex Kirsty Soames, had been displaying bad behaviour picked up from her twisted and abusive mum.
But the couple realised that Hope was the naughty one, and it seems their problems are far from over.
