Peter Barlow to become wheelchair bound
 

Coronation Street’s Peter Barlow will pull through after being injured in the recent explosion, but will hit the bottle once more as he struggles to come to terms with his new life.

The recovering alcoholic was left fighting for his life under the wreckage of The Joinery in dramatic episodes of the ITV1 soap last week. As he struggle to adjust to being wheelchair-bound after sustaining horrific injuries in the disaster, it has been revealed that the dad of one will fall off the wagon once more.

Peter – played by Chris Gascoyne – will become frustrated when he drops all his groceries while out shopping, and as he wheels past an off-licence, the temptation to give in to his former vice proves too much.

However, as well as his drinking causing problems with his new wife Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) – who he married in hospital when it was believed he may not recover from his injuries – the couple will see boozy babe Carla (Alison King) cause a wedge between them.

The Underworld manager – who was saved from her own battles with alcohol by Peter – will grow increasingly close to the bookie as she realises he has secretly resumed his former drinking habits.

An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Peter refused to give up on Carla when she was in the gutter, now it’s her turn. But it’s not a selfless act because she’s desperate to sink her claws into him.

“The longer she’s by his side, the greater the chance she has of getting him to herself.”

However, with doctors warning Peter his sex life may never return to normal, both women may need to make sacrifices to be with the man of their dreams.


Poor Peter :(

i bet he will leave soon :L

Nah, this will be a tasty plot for Chirs Gascoine, good that Carla is still interested in him

Bastard

Why didn't you just die!!!

:eek:

Because, while it may have been a ":eek:" moment, in the long run it would have been pointless

No it wouldn't :nono:

It'd leave Leanne torn between Simon and Nick, and could of sent Carla into a downward spiral, as he's her rock

I find the current situation more interesting, Peter is a character with a lot of history, and has plenty of life left in him

not in his legs though

Poor Peter D:


Who'd be best for him, Leanne or Carla?

Is this gonna be a permanent thing btw?

Or like him being in a wheelchair for a few months and he has to go to physio etc?

carla :D

leanne belongs with nick <3

It's not been said, there is a chance it could be permanent

I don't think they'll make it permanent, coz Lord knows people will complain they're copying Emmerdale :laugh:

It'll be interesting to see how he copes though

horrible ho bag carla

Except it wouldnt be quite the same as Peter can use his arms and his story is to do with alcohol addiction xD

:laugh2:

:shocked::nono:

she goes after Marias man....he ends up dead, she goes after Leannes man, he ends up in a wheelchair:nono: That woman is poison I tell you POISON!!!!

I wonder if Peter will have a miraculous & speedy recovery like Jack in EastEnders? :joker:

She goes after a crazed psycho and he tries to kill her!!

God what a bitch!!

But she's hot :)

Karma.

rofl

Well it takes two to Tango and Liam was just as bad as her :nono:

of course but she's turning into a serial man stealer and leanne is supposed to be her best friend:nono:
