Carla Connor (Alison King) and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) have come through many obstacles to be together and find themselves on relatively even ground – but such a state of affairs never lasts long in Coronation Street.
Enter Abi Franklin (Sally Carman), Peter’s ex who was head over heels in love with him when they were enjoying shenanigans on a boat. Peter knew he loved Carla and so things fizzled out but his bond with Abi came through a mutual hardship and understanding of substance of abuse.
So when Abi falls off the wagon in a big way, it’s Peter who will be her rock – and this could lead to big trouble for his relationship with Carla, with things set to reach boiling point during the 60th anniversary episodes.
Surely Corrie wouldn’t celebrate 60 years by splitting up one of our favourite couples? Would they?
Show boss Iain MacLeod was keen to put the dampeners on affair speculation but he did warn of turbulent times for Peter and Carla.
He told Metro.co.uk: ‘Carla and Peter, perennial favourites – Peter and Abi’s chemistry performance wise means that Peter will be involved in her story. I have always thought it was an interesting common ground with dealing with substance abuse issues.
‘They will grow closer and that will blow up in an explosive way – it’s not an affair, it won’t be what you think. But their entanglement will have a massive impact on the 60th.’
With Abi’s life set to spiral out of control, there are bound to be casualties along the way. But if she crosses Carla and Peter, how much sympathy will fans have for her?
Let’s hope that Carla and Peter can weather this latest storm. Hey, ten years ago they both escaped an explosion and a tram crash so anything is possible.
