Coronation Street has teased a split for Peter and Carla Barlow ahead of his exit.
Earlier this week, Carla confided in Sarah Platt that she now isn't sure her marriage will survive as Peter continues to struggle with his guilt over Stephen Reid's death.
Viewers already know Peter will be leaving Weatherfield in the coming weeks, and Wednesday's (November 8) episode may have laid the groundwork for his departure.
Pressure mounted throughout the episode after Carla and Sarah realised that the money Stephen stole from the factory accounts was nowhere to be found.
Carla lied to the staff, claiming she'd be able to pay them by the end of the day because the bank had traced the stolen funds. She asked the team to keep working until she could get them their money.
The lie was quickly uncovered, leading the staff to start striking outside the factory. Peter was taken aback when he tried to reason with the striking workers, only for Sean to blame him for the situation since he'd killed Stephen.
Although Peter rallied Sally, Evelyn, Roy, Nina, Simon, Kirk and Izzy to complete the necessary work, he soon asked Carla whether it was best to give up the business and start over.
Carla was stunned when Peter suggested they move to Mallorca and become crew members on a yacht. In the final scene of the episode, Peter tried to convince Carla that the yacht would make a "fresh start" for them after all of the drama with Stephen.
"Peter, you can't run away from your problems," Carla reminded him. "Like your support group said, wherever you go, there you are."
When Peter revealed that the boat sets sail next week, Carla couldn't believe her husband was asking her to pack up her entire life on such little notice.
"Sorry, it's a very hard 'no' from me," Carla declared.
The episode ended with Peter appearing to be heartbroken after being rejected.
Will this rejection lead to his departure from the cobbles?
