Did John Stape have an accomplice?

A lot of people seem to be assuming John gathered up the strength to get up and walk away, but I have another theory - John Stape had an accomplice. John looked toward the ground several times as if he was checking it out before making his great escape.

Who may his accomplice be, I hear you ask? Well, Brian Packham returns next week, is it possible the Bessie Street Headteacher has anything to do with John going missing? I hope we do get an explanation on how exactly he made it out alive.

I have to say, as good as tonight's episode was, I hope this is it. I don't want anymore murders, any more sieges or hostages, car crashes or explosions, Corrie's had more than it's fair share and now it's time to start building up some new stories. I know there's the little 'Rovers Riot' coming up, but I hear thats more comedic than dramatic. Please Corrie, no more over dramatised story lines, at least not until 2012.
