falls off the wagon again

Primary school responsible for scriptwriting then .. cannot think of anything but show Peter falling off the wagon instead of portraying somebody that struggles but manages to stay sober even when faced with difficulties .. ffs With all the sombre storylines at the moment this is really not something I am looking forward to

And yet another chapter in the Peter Barlow Alcoholic storyline. I realise Alcoholics are never really cured but I feel it gets a bit boring repeating the same storyline over and over again, not to mention some of the stuff he said to Carla was really out of line.

Does Peter need a new liver?

Chris Gascoyne will take an extended break from Coronation Street later in the year.

The actor has been playing Peter Barlow on the ITV soap for 23 years, but is due to temporarily bow out in upcoming episodes.

Digital Spy has learnt Gascoyne is taking a break from the cobbles as he's done on other occasions, though he is still set to appear on screen until the end of 2023.

At the moment, there isn't a set date for his return to Weatherfield, but it is reported that the door has been left open for more storylines involving his character Peter in the future.

During his absence from the sop, the actor will focus on other ventures, including playing the villainous Captain Hook in The All New Adventures of Peter Pan, a production running from December 8 until December 31 at The Alban Arena in St Albans.

"The Alban Arena are delighted to announce Coronation Street legend Chris Gascoyne will star as Captain Hook in The All New Adventures of Peter Pan this pantomime season!" The Alban Arena officially announced on Instagram last week.

"Chris Gascoyne is famous for his role as Peter Barlow in Britain's top soap Coronation Street in which he has led numerous high-profile storylines to great acclaim.

"This promises to be our most spectacular pantomime yet with stunning sets, dazzling costumes, and a star-studded cast. This is a must-see show for the whole family.

"Don't miss your chance to experience the wonder and excitement of Neverland once more in Paul Hendy's pantomime sequel!"

Is he going to kill Stephen and gets sent to prison so the actor can go on his extended break from Corrie???

Chris Gascoyne has revealed that he is delighted that Peter Barlow is the person the Coronation Street producers chose to kill murderer Stephen Reid.

Chris says it was perfect timing that he had decided to leave the show just as they were exploring the end of the serial killer storyline, and that the aftermath of the death will have a huge effect on the recovering alcoholic in the coming weeks.
