Coronation Street schoolboy Simon Barlow will be left delighted when he hears his dad Peter is returning to the Cobbles next week.
But before we get our hopes up like Simon, all is not quite as it seems.
Simon is thrilled when he gets a phone call from Peter to say that he is going to be there to see him accept his Player Of The Year prize at football.
Peter (Chris Gascoyne) promises his son that he will come and watch the prize giving, but when Simon arrives home to the Barlow house clutching his trophy, his dad's no-show is written all over his face.
Simon is quite understandably miserable in the wake of his dad's failure to turn up, but we think this news might put a smile back on his face.
That's right. Peter is making a full-time return to the Cobbles and the Barlow family will soon be at the forefront of the show again as Peter will be joined by two other members of the Barlow family, Adam (Sam Robertson) and Ken's son Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).

And in even better news, Peter's first scenes will air later this month, so luckily Simon won't be moping for too long. Let's hope not anyway...
Peter bowed out of Weatherfield in 2014, but returned briefly for Deirdre's funeral last year.

Coronation Street welcomes back one of the show's most popular characters next week, as Peter Barlow makes a surprise appearance on the doorstep of his dad Ken.
Peter is full of cagey excuses when he turns up in Weatherfield with a nasty gash on his forehead, but Ken (Bill Roache) isn't buying his innocent explanations. And it's not long before it all kicks off even further between the Barlows, with some dramatic scenes in store right from the start.
Here, Chris Gascoyne - who's returning as Peter on a full-time basis - shares some more gossip on his character's big comeback.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much drama is Peter going to bring to the cobbles this time?
"Well, very quickly... 10! At one point the drama couldn't be more serious. It all kicks off very quickly and it looks like Peter is hiding a few secrets."
Has Peter changed since we last saw him?
"He's older, he's sober and his life is in a different place."
What brings him back to Weatherfield?
"Peter is telling everybody that he's been sacked from crewing the ships because he's had a fall out with this guy. That is possibly true, but it's not the real reason."

How does his return go down with the rest of the Barlows, Simon and Leanne?
"Not very well with all three of them. He has spoken to Simon while he's been away and Simon's been down to stay with him, so he's not been totally absent from Simon's life but he was supposed to come back for a football presentation and he didn't.
"So everyone is saying to him: 'You didn't come back when you promised yet you show up now. What are you after?' Peter is sorry about missing the presentation and he knows he let Simon down, so he has to accept that Simon and Leanne are upset with him.
"Tracy's not happy either because he's asking for money straight away so she wants know what's going on. Ken is still upset with him for not being there for Simon, so he doesn't get off to a very good start."
What can Peter do to put things right?
"Peter wants to put things right and he's really trying. He knows that he's going to walk back into this minefield and he's taking it all on the chin. He knows he's all these things that they're telling him he is, but slowly he's making inroads. He knows he's messed up but he wants a chance to come back and be accepted again."
How does it feel being back on the Street?
"It's great to be back and to see all the people. Corrie's been part of my life for more than 16 years and it really is an extended family."
What swayed your decision to return?
"It was always a break. I always intended to return. Playing Peter is very full on and I needed to go and do other things so I could come back with a new energy. I met with our new producer Kate Oates who had great ideas for the character and it felt like the time was right."
When the news was announced, what kind of reaction did you receive from the fans?
"It's been amazing. People seem really thrilled that Peter's coming back to the street, saying it's great news, asking when he's back and saying how excited they are, which has just blown me away."
Are you excited about the news that Adam Barlow and Daniel Osbourne are returning in the not-too-distant future too?
"Yeah, it will be nice to see the Barlow household full again. After the loss of Annie [Kirkbride] it's felt very sparse. It's always nice to work within a family and there's lots of different personalities there. Peter knows who Adam is to a certain extent, although he seems to have changed a lot, but he doesn't know anything about Daniel who just seems to turn up out of the blue.
"It's a very damaged family. However hard they try and function normally, they're always only one step away from an explosion. They're trying to avoid the inevitable in that house constantly and that's why it's great.
"There's going to be a lot of personality drama based on what they all want but also what they all share in common, which is Ken, and he's damaged all these children in different ways.
"Ken pushes and pushes Peter then he snaps and lashes out that he wasn't there for him when he was younger. Peter becomes a little boy again around Ken and he hates himself for that, but Ken pushes him and I imagine he'll push the others at some point too."
What does Peter think about Leanne being back with Nick, and seemingly having Nick's baby?
"He's actually really pleased for her. Ultimately Peter wants Leanne to be happy. Just because he couldn't provide that it doesn't mean he wants her to be unhappy. But then it's almost funny that it's Nick. Him, really?
"Peter loves to wind Nick up, he lives for it. He can't wait to get his hands on him and start with his sly little comments, put him down a bit, laugh at him and then walk away. It's a sport to him."
Is there any spark left between Peter and Leanne?
"There'll always be a spark there. Because of Simon and what they've been through, there is a deep rooted love there for each other, but they can't keep each other happy. He's not in love with Leanne but he genuinely does love her. She's brought Simon up for him when he couldn't and that's something he'll always be grateful for and love her for."
Would you like to see Peter finally try to be a good dad to Simon?
"Oh yeah, that's all Peter has ever really wanted, but the audience love to hate him and his failings as a dad. He does deeply love Simon."
What has been your favourite storyline to film since playing Peter?
"The writers always come up with such fantastic facets to Peter's personality and I'm lucky that they write so well for me. I think my favourite time on the show was when Jane [Danson, who plays Leanne] and I were working on the start of the alcoholism storyline, I couldn't wait to get the next script.
"He desperately loved Leanne but he couldn't stop drinking. He wanted to be there for Simon but he set the flat on fire. Then Carla came along and he couldn't resist. It was all just really exciting seat of the pants kind of stuff."
What do you think has been Peter's biggest mistake to date?
"Not being there for Simon, that's it. Yes the alcohol played a part, but the greatest guilt he feels is that he hasn't been there and time's running away with him. He's wants to grab it and he wants to make everything right but a lot of damage has been done."
Digital Spy
Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne is building the excitement levels for Peter Barlow's next romantic storyline.
When Corrie producer Kate Oates announced Peter's return earlier this year, she was quick to confirm that he'd have a love interest in his sights when he arrives back on the cobbles.
Speaking to Digital Spy at a Corrie press event this week, Chris revealed: "There is a particular lady - or there could be a particular lady, but I don't think I can [say] without giving it away.
"And it would give it all away and it would be a shame. It's very good, as well! It's good!"
And discussing Peter's relationship with his ex-wife Leanne, which gets tense again straight away next week, he added: "I love working with Jane [Danson]. It's dead easy.
"It's dead good fun and we have a nice chemistry. We've played these characters for a long time together opposite each other and we just slip straight back into it.
"Leanne's always something special to him - and I think he always has his eye half on Leanne."
Coronation Street airs Peter's return on Monday, October 17 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

I forgot that Peter already has some history with Toyah besides the Leanne connection, he was a suspect in her rape and also rescued her from the rapist
I think that guy looking in the Barlow house which Tracy saw was after Peter not Daniel
You are probably right
marnier to cabbie is this pete's true calling

Avert your eyes those who'd rather not see an image of a post coital Peter Barlow! :eek:
Spoiler:
So the predictable pairing of Peter and Toyah looks to be true! Where does Peter's supposed new love interest Choe fit in I wonder? :hmm:
Where did you get this pic from as there is nothing on the internet confirming his relationship just people guessing at the moment. No articles with this photo anywhere i can see
It was on Twitter posted by a soap fan I think (it wasn't an official source or anything).Quote:

Coronation Street spoilers: Is Peter Barlow cheating on Toyah Battersby already?
Paparazzi snaps show him getting very close to the mysterious Chloe.
These sneaky new paparazzi pictures show Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter, filming on location for some upcoming scenes that see his womanising character getting close to a mystery lady called Chloe.
And it's not the first time, either. Chris was spotted filming with the very same woman last year, sparking rumours that she could be his secret girlfriend. But the difference is, we didn't know Peter was having a fling with Toyah Battersby at that point. The mystery thickens...
So, the big question now is whether Peter is up to his old tricks again by cheating on Toyah – as he and Chloe certainly do seem very cosy in these pictures.
As previously reported, Chloe (played by Jo-Anne Knowles) will end up in Peter's cab when she makes a Streetcars booking, but ultimately ends up asking him to join her inside a posh hotel.
Peter's certainly got form for his unfaithful ways, but given that Toyah has left her husband to be with him, we can't see this one going down well if it proves to be true.
But just who is Chloe? And should Toyah be worried?
Peter and Toyah's romance was unveiled to Corrie fans in the show's hour-long Christmas Day special, which saw the pair enjoy a secret rendezvous at a hotel just a few hours after Toyah had returned to Weatherfield.

Coronation Street's Peter Barlow could take over The Rovers as Steve and Liz sell up
Coronation Street could be lining up Peter Barlow as the next landlord of the Rovers Return.
Peter is left with food for thought next week when he spots that Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard) is showing prospective buyers around the pub.
Liz and Steve consider waving goodbye to The Rovers in the wake of Steve's recent split from Michelle Connor.
The potential sale seems to make sense, as the McDonalds know that Steve doesn't just have to deal with Michelle's divorce demands - he could also be facing a costly custody battle to gain access to his newborn son Oliver.
When Liz shows a pair of possible buyers around The Rovers next week, Corrie fans will see the cogs turn for Peter as he makes a surprising new plan.
In no time at all, Peter's sister Tracy (Kate Ford) is shocked by the sudden arrival of an estate agent at Preston's Petals, who explains that he's been instructed by the owner to put the premises on the market.
Tracy is furious with Peter and accuses him of pulling the rug from under her, but he has an explanation and reveals his plans for the sale money to both Tracy and Ken. So, could it really be to buy The Rovers?
Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter, revealed: "Peter finds out that Toyah is getting money from the sale of her and Toby's house, so he wants to invest in a business and use the profits to pay for their IVF.
"His family are surprised by this latest plan and are not sure he has thought it through at all. He thinks he has thought it through and he is doing it for the right reasons - and he is angry at the lack of support he is getting from his family and from Toyah."
Given Peter's history with alcohol, we can see why Ken would have reservations - but whatever happens, it looks like there could be some big changes ahead in the Street's iconic pub.
A recovering alcoholic running a pub? Surely not the greatest idea in the world?
Has Peter Barlow turned over a new leaf? It's the question that all Coronation Street fans will be asking when - in next week's episodes - he goes all out to raise money for Toyah's IVF treatment. The trouble is, his methods for getting hold of the cash might just raise a few eyebrows.
First of all, he opts to chauffeur admirer Chloe around, stringing her along in order to part her from her pound notes. Then comes his bombshell decision to put Preston's Petals on the market! As Tracy reels at having the rug pulled from under her, Peter explains what he's going to do with the profits from the sale. Let's just say that Ken and Tracy aren't that impressed by Peter's actions...
So, as Peter's plan threatens to backfire and he once again gets caught between two women, we caught up with actor Chris Gascoyne to find out what he makes of all the latest drama:
So, tell us about this arrangement Peter has with Chloe?
I guess he's her designated taxi driver and he runs here wherever she want. She gives great tips and she starts to ask him to spend time with her at the house chatting and doing odd jobs.
How does he feel about the fact that he is leading her on?
He knows full well that she fancies him and that, by agreeing to spend time at the house with her, he's giving her the wrong idea. But he's doing it for the money - knowing Peter he's also probably enjoying the attention, but he thinks he's got it all under control.
How are things between him and Toyah right now?
They're pretty much back on an even keel and things are going well - all the money he gets from Chloe is going into the IVF fund and Toyah is pleased he's so busy, although he's not letting on exactly how he's getting the money. But, at the same time, he's letting Chloe thinks that Toyah is a bit of a nag and a bit needy. He kills her phone calls when she rings while he's at Chloe’s house. So all of this is leading Chloe to thinking she has more of a chance with him.
How does he really feel about going ahead with the IVF?
He wants to do it for her, but he's apprehensive. He’s under no illusion that it's going to be difficult - he would be happy not to go through it, but he's determined to do it for Toyah. He knows how important it is for her.
Do you think he could be tempted to stray with Chloe?
I think, at this moment in time, he's a one-woman man. He finds Chloe attractive and does enjoy chatting to her, but he's really is in it for the money.
Why does Peter decide to sell the flower shop?
He finds out that Toyah is getting money from the sale of her and Toby’s house and he wants to invest in a business and use the profits to pay for the IVF.
How do his family react to his plan?
They're surprised and aren't sure he's thought it through at all. Ken's not at all happy with the plan. But Chloe is very manipulative and when he starts to talk to her about it she supports him.
Has he really thought this through?
He thinks he has and he's doing it for the right reasons. And he's angry at the lack of support he's getting from his family and from Toyah.
Do you personally think Peter and Toyah can go the distance?
They could, but then there's always Peter’s self destruct button. Even if he doesn’t do something wrong on purpose, things have a way of falling apart around him. So outside forces could enter into it and cause the relationship to struggle. For example, he really should come clean to Toyah about getting paid to ferry Chloe around, but he doesn’t. He makes some seriously flawed choices
Would you like to see Peter become a dad again? Or would you prefer to see him invest in the new business?
I think his plan is to try and do both. He’s not a bad father now to Simon and it would give him chance to try and do it all again, but better this time.
Is Peter more fun to play when he’s trying to be good, or when he’s being naughty?
As an actor, it's great to see all the sides of Peter. I was pleased that he no longer has a problem with alcohol, but he’s never going to be straightforward is he!
What else is coming up for Peter?
Ever since Kate Oates brought back the Barlow clan, we've watched the relationships grow and the different dynamics develop within the family. There is a lot of drama to come for the Barlows both individually and collectively - it’s great to be here and be part of this family that have been in the show from day one.
Looks like he will cheat on Toyah with Chloe .. YAAAWN :angry:
On, “Coronation Street,” Peter Barlow likes big tips, and he cannot lie! But the taxi driver has the best of intentions: he keeps picking up big tipper and flirt Chloe Tipton because he has to fund his girlfriend’s IVF treatment.
Poor Peter is in a bind; he loves Toyah Battersby and wants to make her happy. Having a baby will cement their relationship but first they need to accumulate enough money for IVF treatments.
This is where Chloe comes into the picture, of course complicating matters. Chloe likes Peter and has made no bones about it. Thus far Peter has resisted her advances, but how much will power does one man have?
Perhaps sensing his crumbling resolve, Chloe takes it upon herself to pull a ruse on Peter, and get him all alone. When the cunning temptress tells Peter that her ex-boyfriend is harassing her, he jumps to her defense and does the noble thing.
Heroic Peter tells Chloe he’ll drive her home, plus accompany her inside to guarantee her safety. Then, when clueless Peter tells Toyah that he’s concerned about one of his fares, she tells him to do what he needs to do to take care of things.
Thinking that he’s doing Chloe a favor, Peter buys some new locks and goes over to install them. Of course Chloe is appreciative, and she wants to show him just how grateful she is!
What will Peter do when Chloe offers to repay his kindness with her, um, ample assets? Will he be able to resist her temptations just as he has resisted his urges to drink and gamble?
Or will he fold like a cheap suit and take Chloe up on her generous offer?
Later, Peter will have to confront another passionate woman when he returns home. It seems that Toyah has found the tip money he’s been stashing, and she wants some straight-up answers from him, now! Has Peter done something he’s going to live to regret?
I don't like the way they are making Peter to go back to his old tricks again with cheating etc.
I really liked the new more responsible Peter. People do change for better too. Please don't ruin him again.
We don't know that he is going to cheat yet. It's Peter's burden that nobody trusts him now, whether with women or alcohol. Maybe we should suspend any judgements as well.Quote:

Only matter of time before he will ... :(Quote:

But will it be Peter Barlow or someone else?
There are big Coronation Street changes ahead as the show's boss Kate Oates has confirmed that the Rovers will be getting a new owner soon.
The famous Weatherfield pub is currently up for sale following Steve's recent split from wife Michelle, which has left him facing some extreme divorce demands, along with a possible custody battle for his son Oliver.
Recent episodes have seen Peter Barlow show an interest in buying the boozer (much to the concern of his family), but he could have competition on his hands as his admirer Chloe will also put an offer in next week.
Corrie producer Kate is remaining tight-lipped on whether either of their offers will be accepted, but she has confirmed that we will be getting a new Rovers landlord, or landlady, in the not-too-distant future.
"Yes, there is going to be a new name above the door of The Rovers," she told Inside Soap.
"The pub is up for sale, and there are big changes in store. Peter has talked about buying it, and Chloe has just made her move - but will it be either of their offers that goes through, or will a new face be moving in? I'm just going to tease that one for the time being."
Please let Jim McDonald be the new owner of the pub! :)
Stalker Chloe frames Peter Barlow for trying to kill Ken?
Peter Barlow’s life could be about to be ruined in Coronation Street as his obsessed admirer Chloe holds everything in her hands that could either see him framed for pushing Ken down the stairs or exonerated. Our hopes aren’t high for poor Peter…
When Peter smashes up Simon’s phone, it’s clear that he is hiding something on there that he doesn’t want anyone to find. But Simon manages to recover his messages on his new phone via the network and hears a voicemail from a panicked Peter saying that he has badly messed up and needs to get away. And, yep, it is dated on the night that Ken was attacked.
As Nick finds this message, he plays it to Toyah, Leanne, Tracy and Adam and Peter explains that he went to see Chloe that night to tell her to back off only for her to cut herself and threaten to report him for assault. He admits he then smashed the phone as he didn’t think anyone would believe his story.
Knowing he is in a huge mess and with suspicions growing that he pushed Ken, a desperate Peter returns to the hornet’s nest and begs Chloe to save him, revealing that he needs her to confirm he was at her house at the time of Ken’s attack.
But will Chloe save him – or feed him to the dogs?
Coronation Street's Peter Barlow will find his life spiralling out of control next week as he's arrested on suspicion of assault.
Peter and his partner Toyah Battersby will be heading out to the IVF clinic for the egg harvesting when they are interrupted by the arrival of DS MacKinnon, who places him under arrest for assaulting his admirer Chloe.
Viewers know that Chloe has taken a sinister interest in Peter – who has repeatedly rejected her – and has even started tracking him on a phone device.
But Chloe's scheming will step up a gear when she lies to the police that Peter assaulted her the night before Ken was shoved down the stairs – knowing full well that it will place him firmly in the spotlight for the mysterious attack on his father.

As the police interview Peter, they reveal that Chloe has come to them with a statement saying he assaulted her and is happy to testify in court.
To make matters worse, the police later produce Simon's phone and play the incriminating message, which suggests that Peter planned to do a runner after trying to kill Ken.
Peter protests his innocence and insists that he didn't lay a finger on Ken, but his anxiety is evident when he's eventually released on bail and forced to reveal all to Toyah.
Peter tells Toyah that Chloe is trying to frame him for the attack on his dad, prompting her to visit Ken in a bid to convince him that Peter would never hurt him. But will Ken listen? And could Peter find himself as the prime suspect for the attack thanks to Chloe?

It's official – Coronation Street's Peter Barlow will discover Billy Mayhew's dark secret in the run-up to Christmas.
Peter currently has no idea that Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) was involved in the death of his twin sister Susan Barlow in 2001, but the truth will be revealed in one of Corrie's biggest festive storylines.
The big reveal takes place after Peter and Billy both head to court to resolve the charges that Billy is facing for punching him two months ago.
Peter speaks up for Billy in the courtroom by arguing that he doesn't deserve to go to prison, but it's when they're both leaving the building that the drama really begins.

When a fight breaks out between two other men outside the court, Peter and Billy both wade in to break it up.
Billy is pushed to the ground in the scuffle and although he seems okay at first, he doubles up in pain during the trip home. In a freak accident, a metal lucky charm given to Billy by Summer has embedded in his thigh, causing some heavy bleeding.
A terrified Peter stops the car and desperately tries to help the local vicar, but while they're waiting for the ambulance, Billy starts to lose hope for his future and believes he's slipping away.
Deciding he has nothing left to lose, Billy tells Peter that he deserves to die as he was responsible for Susan's death. How will Peter react to the game-changing revelation?

Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter, revealed: "There's blood everywhere and Peter starts to stem the flow. He rings the police and the ambulance. Billy thinks at this point that he's going to die, so he confesses to Peter about Susan all those years ago.
"Peter takes his hand off the wound and watches him to start to die, but then comes back to his senses and puts his hand back on again. Up to that point, it's just shock for Peter. He can't take in what he's just told him. Then later, he starts to formulate some sort of mad, misguided revenge plot in his head."
This revenge plan will spill over into Corrie's Christmas week, setting the stage for one of Soapland's biggest stories this festive season.
Chris continued: "I'm not quite sure Peter knows what he's doing. He wants to make Billy feel what Susan felt. But he kind of goes beyond that. It's very dark. It's probably the darkest part of the character.
"Peter forces him to drink two bottles of vodka. Then he locks him in the boot of his car. I don't think I've ever gone quite this far with Peter before. I don't think he knows what he's doing. Whatever it is, it's a very bad choice he's making."

Coronation Street's Peter Barlow threatens to kill Billy Mayhew on the edge of a cliff in dark scenes this Christmas.
Peter (Chris Gascoyne) goes out for revenge in shocking style after discovering that Billy was involved in the death of his twin sister Susan in 2001.
As we've revealed recently, Billy will confess his guilty secret to Peter after they've attended court together and resolved the charges Billy has been facing for punching the Rovers boss.
Once Peter knows everything, the stage is set for one of the most explosive stories set to air in the soaps this Christmas.

After taking Billy hostage in the boot of his car, Peter drives the terrified vicar off to a remote location.
With Billy just inches away from a steep drop, Peter warns him that he's going to let the car roll backwards off the cliff so he'll have a quick death.
Corrie bosses aren't revealing too much about what happens next, but the jaw-dropping events of the day will ultimately leave Billy in a coma. Certain residents of the Street will also be playing detective as they try to find out what really happened.

Speaking about the dramatic scenes, Daniel Brocklebank – who plays Billy – laughed: "I've never been bundled into the boot of a car before, but it was surprisingly comfortable! Predominately during my time here at Corrie, it's mainly been dialogue-led performance for Billy, whereas this was much more physical.
"I've done other things in the past – movies and series where I've had to do things like this, but for Billy to be in those situations was completely different. Bringing out those different aspects of the character, and being able to explore emotions I've not had to play through Billy, has been brilliant. I've come out feeling like I know him a lot better."
He continued: "Billy is not thinking clearly in these scenes because Peter has given him quite a lot of vodka to start with. Because of what has led him up to that point, his head is in a bit of a whirlwind anyway. I don't think he knows what the hell is going on.

"Once that car is reversed up to the edge of the cliff, then in that moment, Billy is probably thinking it's the end for him. He does say a little prayer. You would, though, wouldn't you?
"We had a stunt double for the scenes but we didn't use him – I did all of them myself. It was brilliant and such a fun few days. The speed which we shoot at normally is fast, but with this, it was lovely to spend a couple of days with more time to really put in all of those extra bits – the drones, the special effects, the stunts. It was a lot of fun."
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Christmas Day at 8pm on ITV.

Coronation Street viewers are apparently in for a bit of a shock, with rumours that Peter Barlow will be quitting the Rovers Return.
The landlord – played by Chris Gascoyne – will make the tough decision to leave the iconic pub once he discovers that Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) lied about their baby, leading to them breaking up, according to The Sun.
A Coronation Street spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We don't comment on storyline speculation."
The tabloid says that Peter, who took over the Rovers last year, will be so upset with Toyah, he offers her the chance to buy his half as he can't continue to work with her.
So, get ready for quite an emotional rollercoaster...
Peter became the latest landlord of the Rovers last summer, when Steve McDonald was forced to sell his share to pay for his divorce from Michelle Connor, after Michelle found out Steve was the father of Leanne Battersby's baby.
Toyah actress Georgia Taylor revealed on Wednesday (April 18) that the soap will be delving into her character's unresolved grief for the unborn child she lost.
Toyah was left distraught in January when she discovered that surrogate mum Jacqui had tragically miscarried the baby she was carrying for her and Peter Barlow.
Yet as Corrie fans know, pregnant Eva Price has since agreed to give her baby daughter away to Toyah once she's born. As Peter doesn't know about Jacqui's miscarriage, they hoped to keep him in the dark over the secret deal forever.
But it looks like their pact will soon be exposed for all hell to break loose...
