Corrie's Peter turns back to booze after shock split
Coronation Street's Peter Barlow looks set to fall off the wagon in a huge meltdown next week.
Peter (Chris Gascoyne) returns to his old ways after he's falsely accused of hitting the bottle and cheating on Toyah Battersby by having an affair.
As we've previously revealed, Peter's stalker Chloe is responsible for spreading the lies when she presents herself as his mystery "other woman".
After Chloe speaks to Ken (Bill Roache), he goes straight to Toyah and warns her about what Peter is supposedly up to – completely unaware that he's been duped.
Although Peter begs everyone to hear his side of the story and insists that it's all lies, he grows increasingly frustrated as nobody believes him.
Toyah (Georgia Taylor) is so convinced that it's true that she even makes contact with her estranged husband Toby, revealing that she's left Peter and wants another chance to make their marriage work.
At the end of his tether when he sees Toyah go off with Toby, Peter heads over to the Rovers Return and snatches a bottle of vodka. But will he give into his alcohol demons by hitting the bottle again or not?
If he does resist temptation, there could be good news ahead for him as Toyah eventually decides not to reunite with Toby after all – realising that Peter still needs her.
Although Toyah decides to stick around on the Street, reconciling with Peter isn't so easy as she has lots of questions to ask and still doesn't fully trust him.
Peter insists to Toyah that he stayed sober even when she doubted him, but is he telling the truth? And can he convince her that his "affair" is all in Chloe's head?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, March 27 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
