BACK TOGETHER?

Peter and Carla team up to run the factory – will passion follow?

Peter Barlow is back in bed with Carla Connor – at least financially – after joining up with her to buy Underworld back from Alya Nazir. But as the former couple start to work alongside each other at the factory, will things progress from the office to the bedroom?

‘Peter needs a business interest and Carla needs financial help, so Peter has convinced himself that he is doing this for the right reasons,’ star Chris Gascoyne tells us. ‘But it soon becomes clear that, for him at least, working together purely as business partners isn’t going to be easy.’

Carla has always insisted that she’ll never go back to her ex-husband, who memorably cheated on her with barmaid Tina McIntyre. But she can’t help feeling drawn to the former Rovers landlord and, keen to see if this once-philandering leopard has changed his spots, she sets him a secret challenge in the coming weeks.

‘When interviewing for a new machinist at Underworld, Carla is struck by how much like Tina one of the applicants is,’ reveals Chris. ‘So she decides to let Peter interview her and see how he handles it. She is testing whether or not he has changed. But will he pass the test? You’ll have to wait and see!
