I have to say I'm not sure what that means exactly. What's the difference between being addicted to someone and being in love with them?

I imagine being addicted to someone is very similar to being in lust with them rather than in love, and that there will be nothing left once the initial passion is gone. I'm not sure if that's the case with Peter and Carla, though.

Ha ha...I cross-posted with Sarah

You might as well face it. He's addicted to love

[parkerman]

I think it is lust based? here with Peter and Carla...

what else do they have in common?

So were Peter and Leanne in love or were they addicted to each other?

[lizann]

Carla is an itch Peter had to scratch

I think Leanne really did love Peter - after all, she chose him over Nick. Also, Peter forgave Leanne for her affair with Nick, so he must have loved her. I'm still hoping Peter and Leanne will get back together.

So being addicted to someone trumps being in love?

peter would always be settling for second best with leanne. yes leanne would make a better wife and mother to simon and peter does have feelings for leanne, but his true love is carla and always will be. it is highly unlikely that carla and peter will survive and it is highly likely that peter and leanne will reunite eventually for simons sake, but leanne will always know deep down peter is settling for second best. that will always be at the back of their relationship and will hurt leanne. carla is peters soul mate.
