John Stape to become soap's first spaceman

John Stape is set to become soap's first spaceman, according to The Sun. He joins WASA, Weatherfield's awnser to NASA, to get away from the guilt of killing so many people.

However, John's adventure into space goes very wrong, when he opens a packet of crisps in orbit, causing the crisps to float into all the machinery, an explosion kills two of the other spacemen (one of them being Emmerdale's Cain Dingle, in soap's first crossover.)

Phil Collinson said of the story "I think space isn't an area that isn't explored enough in soap, sending John up into orbit gives us a wide range of storylines, one that includes a familiar face from a certain sci-fi show. We're hoping that eventually we will be able to make a full blown spin-off featuring John making contact with new races."

John Stape as humanity's ambassador? He'll end up killing the lot!

Well I believed it up until the end of the first section. Then I remembered it was April Fools Day, scrolled down and found it saying April Fools.

Good one :P

I actually believed the whole thing - since everything else with John Stape is so unbelievable!

But what do you expect when an English and Drama specialist is given a scientist's job?

Just as believable as the other April Fool that its going to snow on the Royal Wedding day - yeah right.

Tvor said...

If the Royal Wedding was happening in Canada, at least in some parts of it (prairies, east coast) it's entirely possible it could snow! We've had snowstorms at easter and even in May, rare but it happens.
