Coronation Street has revealed more details of Peter Barlow’s upcoming shooting storyline.
The popular character will find himself in danger next week when the gang who’ve been targeting his son Simon (Alex Bain) turn their attentions to him instead.
When Simon returns home from Cornwall, troublesome Tyler Jefferies and his friends launch a campaign of intimidation to make sure that he won’t testify against Tyler in court.
This includes sending threatening text messages and even trying to bundle Simon into a car on the Street, until Kate Connor (Faye Brookes) plays hero by intervening and getting him to safety.
At the end of next week, Tyler changes tactics by pulling up outside Underworld in a car and pointing a gun straight at Peter and Carla.
Before long, Tyler fires the weapon and hits Peter square in the chest – much to the horror of Carla as she watches on.
Corrie bosses aren’t confirming any further details or whether Peter will be seriously injured, but all will be revealed in next week’s dramatic episodes.
Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter, explained: “This has been hanging over them for months and Peter knows Simon is not safe with Tyler out for revenge.
“Things turn really nasty when Peter gets caught in the crossfire, literally. Tyler’s mates have a gun and they fire out of a car window. Peter is hit in the chest and Carla is hysterical.”
Asked whether Carla has inadvertently revealed her feelings for Peter with her reaction, Chris replied: “Michelle certainly reads that into it, but whether Carla admits it is another matter.
“Who knows if they’ll end up back together? Carla will certainly try to keep him at arms length, so they will be skirting around each other for some time to come, I think.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, August 31 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
