I was a bit miffed when Steph gave that monologue to Peter. I thought she was going to pat him on the back. But then as my mum said, had Peter and Tina not had that affair Tina would still be alive today.
They are all judging him over the affair, like they are all innocent
The correlation between the affair and Tina's killing is another example of Corrie trivialising murder. Rob killing Tina was a million times worse than Peter having an affair with her.
You would still expect people to have sympathy for Peter. Being jailed for a murder he didn't commit would be a deeply traumatic event in his life.
They are behaving as though infidelity is unheard of! Talk about people in glass houses. Peter was very unlucky the way his affair ended but he's not the first or last to cheat!
Like all emotional cripples - and by God, doesn't this country pander to them, these days - Peter is wholly responsible for the chain of events that led to the murder. Oh, doubtless the liberals will go "Boo-hoo" and claim his alcoholism is an illness he can't control. Well, b*llocks to that. Like all alcoholics - and my father was one - he is a weak-willed, self-indulgent fool who can't keep it in his pants and then can't face up to his responsibilities.
I know Peter is a fictional character, but there are thousands of Peters in real life. And the sooner we stop making excuses for them, the better. I cheered when he wasn't welcomed back onto the Street with open arms.
Perhaps they remember that he is not only an adulterer, but a bigamist. And wasn't he unfaithful to Leanne, as well? He's a car crash as far as women are concerned and should come with a health warning.
While he wasn't directly responsible for Tina's murder, he certainly played a role in the events that led to it.

Because prozzie Leanne is completely innocent.
Yes, because Tina didn't have a part to play in her demise. Gobbing off to Rob (like she has done with many others before) and threatening him because she didn't get her own way. Of course all glossed over and Tina is treated like a Saint by all. Most of the time she barely treated Steph with respect.
Not defending Peter, but he was meant to assume that months after the affair began Rob would smash her head in over stolen goods. And the street didn't seem too worried about Rob being a killer, apart from a couple of small references and he had been manipulating for months to cover his tracks.
The thing is Steph and Michelle were sitting in court while his court was going on..
To be jailed for something he didn't do is awful. If I was Peter I'd be railing about the court system and Rob for putting me through this. I'd want to know exactly where Rob is to punish him.
The girls who railed against him have brains of walnuts. They were eager that he had done it and eager to punish him. They couldn't in their brains decide that he was fitted up by the police and only Robs confession got him off
Miss hell is horrendous but Steph has let herself go down big time.
It's just a weak way to facilitate his exit, by having everyone turn on him. Another example of the current production team's inability to make exits remotely believable!
It's bull and why Steph acting like she and Tina was the best of friends she knew her all of 5 minutes!!, it's a sad day when one of the few last reasons to watch Corrie leave.
What was that utterly stupid scene with the wedding ring all about? Are they now shoehorning in stuff for the awful Ms Marsh because she is a non-character. Can they just get rid. I'll put a sheet round for her, not that I think we will collect much. ;-)

Ever heard the expression "It takes two to tango" ?
If Tina had kept her sweaty mitts off a married man then she'd still be here.

Why did Michelle have to THROW the envelope with the ring in at Peter ?
Why couldn't she just place it on the table, the skanky auld snatch.

And what about Tina? Sleeping with a just married man and coming on to him on his wedding day. Everybody has to take responsibility for their part in things. Also, if Tina hadn't goaded Rob and threatened to tell the police about the stolen goods she'd still be alive, but I suppose that's Peter's fault too?

^^This^^ - pretty much agreed, on both points :-)

Peter IS NOT solely to blame.

Grrrr >:(
Rob killed her, not Peter.
He may not have killed her but had Peter not been having an affair with her it is unlikely Rob would have killed her.
Rob killed Tina. Surely that computes...
Exactly.
And what about Tina? Sleeping with a just married man and coming on to him on his wedding day. Everybody has to take responsibility for their part in things.

Human decency.
Rob didn't kill her because of the affair.
