A fling too far for Corrie’s Peter Barlow?

The wheels are set to come off for Peter Barlow.

He’s at the centre of Corrie’s deadly love triangle and this week it all becomes too much.

Peter Barlow topples off the wagon spectacularly as the stresses finally catch up with him.

Serial womaniser Peter has been having a fling with Michelle Keegan’s Tina behind the back of his pregnant missus Carla (Alison King).

And Chris Gascoyne says he feels returning to the booze was only a matter of time.

“Peter’s an addict, he has a drink problem,” confides Chris.

“So I think it was inevitable that he’d fall off the wagon given the trouble he was going to land himself in with Tina and Carla.

“At the moment he can’t find a way out of the hole he’s in and the only thing he feels he can turn to is drink.

“It’s all going to come crashing down. It’s never going to end well for Tina and at some point Peter is going to have to face the consequences of his actions.”

The fallout is going to be absolutely lethal with stunner Michelle’s decision to quit the soap leading to Tina being murdered next month.

And Peter is prime suspect in a real Weatherfield shocker.

Tina turns up at the Rovers dressed to kill to get Peter’s attention tomorrow and entices him right to the bedroom.

But when he realises Carla has been trying to get hold of him he’s racked with guilt and drowns his sorrows in the factory.

When she finds out, the reaction is just as he fears.

Chris confirms: “She’s furious. He’s been lying to her and she realises it when he comes in stinking of whisky, made worse by the fact the he stood her and Simon up.

“She tells him that he’s risking his life by drinking and that he has an unborn child to think of now.”

She tells him that he has to choose between the booze and being a dad and that a stint in rehab is the only option.

“She’s sick of his excuses and him feeling sorry for himself,” adds Chris.

“This is the final straw. Carla had to battle a lot of demons when she found out she was pregnant and she needs Peter more than ever.

“When she gives him this ultimatum he feels more trapped than ever and is completely stunned by what she says.

“She tells him he has to go but he has no energy to think about anything else at this point other than where his next drink is going to come from.”
