Right.. you know I'm a 'carter' fan.. so obviously not happy.

But really.. Peter cheats on Carla with Tina.

Am I the only one who finds this a bit ridiculous and laughable?

I hate Leanne.. but even I'll admit I'd buy the storyline if it was her.. but Tina?

I think it's a pathetic attempt at ratings.

I know Peter is known to be a bit of a 'love rat' but seriously, I think this is stupid.

    Total SOR. Peter & Carla are the show's strongest couple, and this storyline seems like it's been thought up solely to facilitate Tango Tina's exit. A real shame - Blackburn's given Corrie its Maurel! :(

    It's ridiculous. To me, this is actually laughable. Especially as Hayley is dying. MAD!

    I can't believe how rubbish this is. Peter's never shown the slightest interest in her. Plus she's half his age too! Just when he needs to be supporting Carla the most (as Halyley dies) he goes and has it off with the local chav...who next? Katy? Marcus?

    Maurel are bad enough but the thought of Peter and Tina together is enough to make me vomit.

    As if any man lucky enough to have Carla would want to cheat on her.

    I'm sure this will lead to a brilliant performance from Alison King though;) and I hope that before Carla inevitably forgives Peter, she really makes him suffer:D

    I could see Tina and David having an affair, but Tina and Peter? Ridiculous. It would make way more sense for Peter to have an affair with Leanne or even Michelle, but Tina is just out of nowhere. I guess it is in character for Peter since he's such a rat, but it seems like such a forced pairing.

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/news/a512012/coronation-street-tina-mcintyre-to-have-shocking-fling.html#article_continue

    Coronation Street barmaid Tina McIntyre has been tipped to have a shock fling with Peter Barlow at Christmas.

    The pair will grow close later this year after Tina and her current boyfriend Tommy Duckworth split for good, according to The Sun today (September 3).

    As actor Chris Fountain has been sacked from Coronation Street, an upcoming episode will see the street's residents learn that his character Tommy has left Weatherfield following a huge argument with Tina.

    Afterwards, Tina (Michelle Keegan) will reportedly get involved with Peter - despite his relationship with factory boss Carla Connor (Alison King).

    The surprise love triangle plot is expected to be filmed over the next few weeks and come to a head at Christmas.

    Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter, recently warned that his character's life could soon spiral out of control again - even with his wedding to Carla on the way.

    He told TV Times: "Peter is not very happy. He's just existing, but he doesn't tell Carla how he feels. He's lost the bookies and doesn't know what he's doing in the factory.

    "Everyone is talking behind his back, he feels he's losing control of his life and Carla is in charge of the wedding - she's even paying for the ring!

    "It's Peter doing the same old thing. Whenever things are going well, he presses the self-destruct button."

    It's like Blackburn just sits in his office and orders the assistant producer to fill a hat with male characters and another with female characters. He then picks one name out of each hat, and whichever names come out will become lovers.

    I honestly thought we were heading towards a David/Tina affair, have Tina or Peter even shared any scenes before and we are meant to believe after everything that Peter would cheat on Carla. Corrie have it's very own Maurel!

    Yep, and can you spot the common link? I can.

    I was actually praising the ugly great fool yesterday, but upon hearing this, he's dropped right down in my respect books again.

    So once again Peter Barlow plumps for the self pitying, no one cares, mememe default position and anyone's surprised by this? LOL.
    This man is a total jerk.
    It's so obvious he is incapable of loving anyone and is never going to evolve ( being already comfortably into his middle age now!) into anything beyond his needy, insecure and insecurity riddled persona.
    His promiscuousness must be a symptom his problems and it doesn't seem likely to change.
    He wants it all, he wants to be a victim as he sees it as his ticket to making women feel sorry for him. He's an immature little brat and yet thinks he can act high and mighty when it suits.
    No wonder Rob is pissing himself laughing at him, what else could he possibly do?
    Don't worry for him though, it seems to be Deirdre turn to make excuses for him instead of Tracey these days so he'll have the croaky crone on his side at least.:)

    that's funny to laugh out, why would he want to give up his bang tidy women in Carla who is absolutely everything a guy could have for only to screw around with a tango'd barmaid womb renting out sl*pper, how unrealistic would that be

    Why is it stupid? Peter is a flawed character, it's who he is. He was never destined to be in a 'strong couple; He ruins everything good in his life, he is self destructive. That's the character.

    Ridiculous and totally unbelievable scenario. :rolleyes:

    I know Peter's feeling a bit emasculated at the moment, but if he was going to strayat all, he would be trying to get Leanne back, not some kid young enough to be his daughter.

    If they have to find something to facilitate Tina's exit, then she should have an affair with David, which would at least make a little bit of sense.

    :mad:

    Is that all they can think of for leading up to Tina's exit. Pathetic. I hoped Carla and Pater would remain a strong couple, especially since Hayley will be leaving soon.

    Tina deserves much better than the crusty old misogynistic bigamist Barlow. I bet he smells like an old ashtray perfumed with some old spice as well.:p
