Coronation Street’s Peter Barlow will pull through after being injured in the recent explosion, but will hit the bottle once more as he struggles to come to terms with his new life.
The recovering alcoholic was left fighting for his life under the wreckage of The Joinery in dramatic episodes of the ITV1 soap last week. As he struggle to adjust to being wheelchair-bound after sustaining horrific injuries in the disaster, it has been revealed that the dad of one will fall off the wagon once more.
Peter – played by Chris Gascoyne – will become frustrated when he drops all his groceries while out shopping, and as he wheels past an off-licence, the temptation to give in to his former vice proves too much.
However, as well as his drinking causing problems with his new wife Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) – who he married in hospital when it was believed he may not recover from his injuries – the couple will see boozy babe Carla (Alison King) cause a wedge between them.
The Underworld manager – who was saved from her own battles with alcohol by Peter – will grow increasingly close to the bookie as she realises he has secretly resumed his former drinking habits.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Peter refused to give up on Carla when she was in the gutter, now it’s her turn. But it’s not a selfless act because she’s desperate to sink her claws into him.
“The longer she’s by his side, the greater the chance she has of getting him to herself.”
However, with doctors warning Peter his sex life may never return to normal, both women may need to make sacrifices to be with the man of their dreams.

He was quoted as saying that his life starts now.
In other news I'm glad he's keeping Stape on:D..really starting to like him lately and he is a great character. He must be the murderer they were talking about a while ago-I thought it would be Owen.
Making a character that has 45 years worth of history with the show wheelchair bound? Not really
I hope there wont be a miraculous recovery, they could fit the Bookies flat with things to help him get about
I'm glad they're following through with his injuries though and he isn't making a miracle recovery.
Well, believing in the sanctity of marriage as I do, now that Leanne and Peter are married, I wish them well and sincerely hope that things will work out well for them and Simon; it will not be an easy road they will tread and there will be obstacles, but I send them my very best wishes.
It will not be an easy road. I hope that Leanne's character will be broadened and given courage and strength, and that her in-laws will support her and Peter.
Not sure, the article seems to hint that its a possibility
It's not been mentioned yet, the doctors were focused on keeping him alive
I really havent enjoyed Corrie these past weeks......
Like I said, the doctors were focused on keeping him alive, he was knocking on deaths door, I don't think they will have wasted time with X-rays yet (remember it was set in one night, so Peter will have been in hospital for an hour)
When they where rushing him in to the hospital, they mentioned lower back trauma or words to that effect, it wasn't just the bleeding round his heart that was the issue, but it was the one most likely to kill him at the time!
Plus, way back at the club when Ashley and Nick first tried moving him, he tried to stand and couldn't, they had to sit him down again immediately. Then when they were almost out, Nick shouted to the firefighters that they had an injured man who couldn't move - it all pointed to a possible spinal injury. In which case Ashley was right, moving him would have made it worse - but better that than leaving him there to die.
they'll have to get him a lift:p or maybe carla could carry him up the stairs:o i dont think she'd mind.
