Won't miss Carla one bit. She is as wooden as a thunderbird puppet. She even looks like the Hood

oh please!

I think the writers messed up Peter and Carla temporary exits very lazy writing could have been much better imo

Not a big fan of Carla tbh but she isnt the worst character

I like Peter as Chris is an excellent actor

Kirk thinking Marcus was coming onto him wasnt one bit funny which is a shame as Kirk used to be a great comedic character

Did Maria and Jason date before?

I never thought I would ever say it but I'm liking the storyline with Mary and Roy,some of the lines she comes out with are quite funny and so too are some of Roy's replys.

[Ruffed_lemur]

I will. I liked both of them myself. Prefer them to sour face Leanne and wooden Nick any time.

So do I! I think they're away for 4 months, so should be back late this year.

Finally Peter and Carla have done the right thing and left,they definately won't be missed.

'oh dear I seem to have dropped picalilly on your Bishop....'

Two of the best comic actors in soapland, an inspired plotline and some good writing - more of the same please, because it's a blessed relief from Leanne's fishwifery and the whole Barlow saga!

It is the only decent storyline worth watching in Corrie at the moment

Peter doesn't love Leanne so how can it work better?

Loving someone else's children is a very difficult thing. You want to believe that you can be fair and love the child simply because it's part of your partner's life and you love your partner. The reality is very different. My step children were just not the same as my own children and their children were not the same as my own grandchildren.While I was married to that man we actually spent much more time with the step kids than with my kids. When that marriage failed I have yet to hear from any of them again. The bond is not the same. Carla isn't attached to Simon, he has acted like what he is, a child. Wanting his own way and doing whatever he could to get it. It's not reasonable to expect any real depth of feeling between Carla and Simon. Children always resist change of any kind and especially a change that interrupts the life they are used to living. The most unbelievable part of this whole story line was that Leanne would be given custody of Simon when she had been his "Mother" for such a short period of time. Basing a relationship on the needs of a child never works out good in the end. Peter is irresponsible in more than just his drinking, expecting any other reaction from a child doesn't make any sense. One minute Leanne is there as the Mother figure and 5 minutes later Carla is moved in. There was no effort made to introduce another Mother substitute. Just, here's my new flame, she's your Mother now, accept it.
