Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ Carla’s heartbreaking gift to Peter Barlow ahead of soap exit
CORONATION Street fans have ‘worked out’ Carla’s heartbreaking gift to Peter Barlow ahead of his soap exit.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Peter Barlow actor Chris Gascoyne quit the soap back in July.
Chris first joined in 2000, before quitting in 2003. He then returned to the Cobbles in 2007 and left again in 2014.
He rejoined the cast in 2016
Fans have been desperate to know how the iconic character will leave Weatherfield – and some think that Carla Connor has bought him a plane ticket.
Many have taken to X to share their theory.
One wrote on the social media platform: “It’s official she’s printed the ticket we’re actually losing peter.” Another agreed:
Another added: “She’s got him a plane ticket. I like Carla,”
A third questioned: “What’s Carla got him, a one way ticket out of here?”
Chris will leave the show this Christmas.
A source said: “Chris has decided to take an extended break from the soap.
“He loves working at Coronation Street but he’s got a lot of things he wants to do and the time is right for him to take a break and pursue other roles.
“It isn’t a final goodbye and the door is very much being left open.
“Obviously fans will be devastated but there’s a good few months of huge drama yet before he bids farewell to the cobbles.”
Last month Peter’s exit storyline was revealed.
The taxi driver has been currently struggling to cope after killing Stephen Reid in October.
Peter has shared that he would like to go away and escape Weatherfield.
