Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs are set to welcome another new addition to the family amid the Hope Stape storyline on Coronation Street.
It's been a hectic time for the couple following their shocking discovery that Hope has still been obsessing over her late father, John Stape.
In a bid to ease tensions, Fiz and Tyrone decide that a trip to the pet shop could do the girls some good and give them a nice distraction.

As a result, Tyrone and the girls return from the pet shop with Cilla the chinchilla (named after Fiz's mum). However, sadly, the new addition leaves Fiz unimpressed.
What to Read Next
Fiz and Tyrone watch as Hope bonds with Cilla (the chinchilla), optimistic that it could be a new beginning as she's clearly already bonded with her new pet.
However, later in the week, Fiz and Tyrone return home hoping for an afternoon lie down, but things take a turn when they get back to find the house stinks of chinchilla poo. It's safe to say that's enough to make the two start to regret their trip to the pet shop.

Will Chinchilla Cilla's arrival be enough to get Hope back on the right track?
As viewers will already know, last year, Hope became fixated on her serial killer biological father.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media, producer Iain MacLeod admitted teased the storyline: "Hope develops a toxic curiosity about John that leads to fairly interesting blackly comedic territory. She becomes slightly obsessed in a way that causes problems for Fiz and Tyrone.
He added that Fiz and Tyrone will "face some difficulty parenting Hope" in the coming episodes, adding: "Hope's troubled behaviour ends up in a fairly acrimonious feud with an adult neighbour that involves a chinchilla!
"Hope's behaviour will become increasingly difficult over the course of the year but there's also extremely light-hearted bits."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
