    Peter Barlow

    IT’S all change at the bookies in Weatherfield.

    Harry and Dan Mason are being given the boot to make way for the return of bigamist Peter Barlow.

    Chris Gascoyne, 39, who played the randy turf accountant, is “made up” to be heading back to the Corrie cobbles.

    But Jack Ellis, 52, who plays Harry, and Matthew Crompton, 36, who plays his son Dan, were stunned to be told they were being axed after less than a year.

    Matthew admitted: “It was horrible. It’s like splitting up with someone when you don’t want to. You feel sick – just like being dumped.”

    A senior Corrie exec said last night: “The two outgoing actors might be a little miffed. 

    “I suppose the extra irony is that they are being replaced by another bookmaker.

    “It’s not pleasant news – but the viewers loved Peter for being brash and cocky.

    “He will be around for quite a while.”

    Barlow married Rovers barmaid Shelley Unwin (Sally Lindsay, 36) while still wed to florist Lucy Richards (Katy Carmi-chael, also 36).

    Chris returned briefly last year for the Tracy Barlow murder trial storyline.

    He will be back on screen in October.

    Good news, although I still don't think the new ones deserved to be axed.
    Happy New Year SoapBoards!

    I didn't think Peter was all that great the last time he was on the street. To me he is only brought in for other characters storylines not on his own merits. I would rather have the bookies we have as I don't see the point of corrie spliting Veron/Liz up if shee isn't going to hook up with Dan's dad.

    Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx

    Peter was one of the street's better characters, and was played in a very believable way by Chris Gascoyne. The guy who plays Dan has got to be one of the worst ever actors in Corrie, but I like the dad.

    I wonder whether the son he had with Lucy is going to be mentioned or even introduced? I can see Maria/Peter part 2, definitely once Liam has left
    Spoiler:
    has been murdered

    Loved Peter - great character. Can't wait to see him return. The two leaving are fairly boring, so I don't really care about them. Ooo and would love for Lucy and her son to return, would be interesting. Loved Lucy's character, she could really stir it up again.
