When is he back on screen?
Is he filming already?
Will there by any mention of his wife Lucy and child
BIGAMIST Peter Barlow is coming back to Corrie — with his secret five-year-old son.
The bookie, played by Chris Gascoyne, was left to look after little Simon by estranged wife Lucy, before she died of cancer.
But Peter takes to fatherhood badly — and moves back in with dad Ken and stepmum Deirdre to get help.
A soap source told TV Biz: “He is stunned by his son’s arrival. He doesn’t know the first thing about kids.” Peter even tries to give Simon away after sinking double whiskies in the Rovers Return. The insider said he blurts out: “Does anybody want a five-year-old kid? I’ve got one I don’t want.”
Ken — actor William Roache — has to give him a talking to.
Dying Lucy, played by Katy Carmichael, tracked Peter down to give him Simon. She had quit the Street after learning he was also married to barmaid Shelley Unwin — actress Sally Lindsay.
Peter was last seen in Weatherfield in January last year for step-sister Tracy’s murder trial.
He had a fling with crimper Maria Sutherland, played by Samia Smith. Maria is now married to Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier). But Liam is set to be murdered and Peter could provide a shoulder to cry on.
That looks interesting :)
I'm glad Peter will be back
yeah, peter was always a good charcter. a normal bloke, but not boring. it'll be nice to see him try to deal with a kid etc
Is it really five years since he had a fling with Lucy.
Chris Gascoyne is back :heart: :thumbsup:
:eek: How time flies! Will have to start watching again rather than just watching on occasion. It was quite a realistic way to write Lucy out too, I think. I don't think young people dying of cancer has been covered by soaps enough for the amount of people that do die of it while young in real life, whereas the characters seem to start new affairs every other week which wouldn't happen so much in real life.
wow 5 years already since the bigamy storyline, jeez
i liked peter though so it will be good to have him back
Who will be his 1st conquest?
