The Carla/Peter/Leanne Triangle is one of soap's greatest storylines ever.

I have been blown away by this storyline, and all three of the actors involved. It is complex and deep, and what I love is how there are no clear goodies or baddies: you can sort of understand where all three are coming from, and everyone has a different opinion on it all.
It is very rare in any television programme for a story to divide and grip people as this has done. It is simply superb.

I think all three characters are flawed - have done regrettable things in the past
I think no one is actually meant to be better than anyone else, I think we are meant to feel sympathy of all of them
I think the best thing is that Peter and Carla's relationship has been built up the way it has, it is not all about sex but much much deeper. I love the fact we are seeing Peter's feelings for Carla begin to bubble up to the surface.
I hope this storyline continues for a long time to come.
I agree. That's why I don't want Peter to give into his feelings for Carla (if he does have them), because the tension is what is brilliant between the three.
Edit: I almost don't want him to give into his feelings.
Oh I know what you mean. I hope it continues for a while before he does give in
Even the prologue, with Leanne/Nick, now seems relevant in that it's fuelled her insecurities about Peter having an affair with Carla. Storytelling at it's finest.
Yes! To me this blows Liam-Carla-Tony out the water!
Edit: although i did absolutely love that story, and it was brilliantly acted - particuarly by Ali and Grey, but the difference and complexity and originality of this current love triangle is just fantastic.
It's rare in soap that you want a story to go on and on and on but this is one of them for me. I'd be fine if it never ended!
You took the words out of my mouth, I want them to get together but at the same time I'm loving the chase:) Peter's face when he hugged Leanne after she said to leave Carla alone said It all for me:)
Liarla was quite a well crafted arc but I think that this storyline has been sharper. It's been running for quite a while now but the way in which it has been developed over the past year is truly commendable.
I love how it all kicked off with the breakdown of Nastasha and Nick's relationship, her exit and then Carla's alcoholism coming to the forefront forging a complex relationship of latent lust and dependence between her and Peter, running parallel to the history between Leanne and Nick being explored. Take Nick out of the equation and add the menacing Frank Foster into the love square and the storyline has taken more twists and turns. These- over the coming months- will have wider ramifications for Leanne and Peter's marriage and the running of Underworld as well as Carla formng a new friendship with Stella with the revelation that
Corrie have really surpassed themselves with this storyline due the top notch writing and terrific acting from everyone involved.
