Carla Connor (Alison King)

[Dazzle]

Yeah, Carla would make a good pairing with Nick. They hate each other at the moment, which is always a good start to a soap relationship.

Always a good start

Just heard that Carla and Peter are gong to have an affair! :O

Just heard that Carla and Peter are gong to have an affair! :O

And this pushes Leanne back to Nick

[corrielover]

Phil Collinson said so in one of the soap magazines...
I don't mind them getting together but i deffo think that she would be better with Nick.

Leanne and Peter are a great couple and arent they to get hitched this year?

[Perdita]

Yes, Leanne proposed and he accepted and I believe the wedding is meant to be part of the 50th anniversary, so I guess a Christmas wedding might be on the cards, probably another hurdle the young couple have to get over before happiness can be enjoyed for a couple of weeks.

CORRIE vamp Carla Connor will be nabbed for drink driving - in a warning to motorists about the perils of alcohol this Christmas.
The sexy knicker factory boss, played by Alison King, 37, will be pulled over after downing champagne at the opening night of Nick Tilsley's new bar.

Carla fails the test and is hauled down to the police station. She is then fast-tracked through the courts and has her licence taken away.

Viewers will have seen Carla stay on the wagon after realising she was drinking too much and becoming an alcoholic.

But at the party she becomes depressed when she sees happy couples everywhere - and turns to the bubbly.

After her arrest, Carla is picked up by Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) then breaks down realising how a ban will affect her ability to run her business - which has only just recovered since ex Tony Gordon burned it down.

A Coronation Street insider told Tv Biz: "Carla's drink driving will be portrayed sensitively.

"But we hope the message of how easy it is to fall foul of the drink-drive laws, especially at that time of the year, will hit home to viewers.

"Last year we used Peter Barlow and his own problems as a warning about drink driving and this year we're using Carla.

"If we manage to stop even a handful of people from being tempted then we'll have done our job."

CORRIE'S Carla Connor is horrified when Peter Barlow picks her up from the police station more drunk than she is.

The sexy knicker factory boss, played by Alison King, calls on ex-alcoholic Peter to pick her up following her arrest for drink-driving. But she's horrified to find that he too has fallen off the wagon and is in no fit state to drive.

Carla began her battle with the bottle after her ex-husband Tony tried to kill them both and set their business Underworld on fire. And she can't hide her devastation when a sozzled Barlow (played by Chris Gascoyne) comes to collect her and promptly falls over.

She then breaks down realising how losing her license will affect her ability to run her business.

Corrie bosses are keen to send a stark warning to motorists about the perils of alcohol abuse this Christmas.
