Thanks carla barlow!
Kind of you to take the time to type those up. I hadn't read the Inside Soap ones.
Spoiler
Good move creating this thread, nice to have a base for Carla & Peter chat. Sure we'll have plenty to discuss over the next few months - just as soon as they're both back on the street! |

i think that peter might realise his true feelings and then tell carla,or try to kiss her and she turns him down because she can't bear the thought of being hurt or because its too soon after her rape,and then that pushes him to start drinking again??

![]() re: spoiler - I love that bit too! I know articles tend to have mostly the same stuff in between magasines, but then you get the odd gem like that! Quote:

I'll be glad when they're both back Found an online article I hadn't read yet - dated 14th Oct '11... Festive Fireworks on the Cobbles Carla / Peter related bit:

That said though, she does seem to feel safe around Peter; * snuggled up on couch * hugging * doesn't mind him being close to her / touching * doesn't mind him being protective? (e.g. when someone was at the door she was anxious I think she said "make them go away, Peter" or something like that, and Peter said he'd get rid of them). Do we think he starts drinking whilst Carla's away in L.A? or after she's come back i.e. closer to christmas? Also, I don't know if any of you have heard Christina Perri's album (lovestrong) but there's a song on there called "Distance" which makes me think of Carla/Peter ![]() Would be good for someone to make a YouTube video too

Just seen this thread and thought I'd come and do a bit of Peter/Carla appreciation!
They have brilliant chemistry and a real understanding of each other - I'm kind of scared and excited at the possibilty that they could ever be a couple!

I have to say I am loving all of your posts, I have actually been coming on here for quite a while and reading all the Carla/Peter posts but hadn't posted until now as they finally deleted my old account so I could create a new one.
Anyway I love the Carla/Peter story so far, they are made for each other and I agree with everyone saying they want the relasionship to be based on deep emotions and not just a one night stand. Oh and hello all *waves* so glad to finally be able to post, I had been dying to for so long!

![]() I agree, great chemistry between these two! I really do think they understand each other and I also think there's a deep trust between them both, which is another reason I would like them to get together. I honestly can't see Leanne/Peter's relationship lasting because of the lack of trust there. I think the final nail in the coffin was her affair with Nick, even though Peter's made a real effort to get past it I don't think he ever really can. I'm putting my faith in the writers to continue to build on the friendship/relationship the way they have so far... but definitely fingers crossed for a meaningful and tender relationship at the end of it.

Oh and hello all *waves* so glad to finally be able to post, I had been dying to for so long! ![]() ![]() I know what you mean about posting, when I first joined the forum my registration took a few days and I was desperate to talk to everyone about Carla/Peter! Which is strange for me but I think shows how good a storyline it is, because never in my history of watching soaps have I felt so drawn into two characters and what happens to them as I am with these two! I'm going to be typing up an interview with Chris I found later today... I don't think there's anything particularly spoilery in it so it won't be in tags ![]() I wish we were able to upload photos! Then I could scan the magasine ![]() And, on a side note, I was rather irritated we didn't get a Carla/Peter scene on their own before she left for L.A. in yesterdays episode... although I can kind of see why... with Michelle and Ciaran always with her. I was doing some more thinking about that one scene in the bistro though... he might have been in Cornwall for a few weeks but he must have been texting Carla? Just basing this off that scene where he says he's off to Cornwall (and also Carla finds out that Frank's been let out). Before he told her he was going away, he said "I'll text you tomorrow," and she responded with "will she know?" - which I assume Carla was referring to Leanne? Is Leanne even aware of all those little visits he made? After all, she'd made a point of asking him to promise to stay away from Carla and let her get professional help. Which... really didn't last very long all things considered. Also shows - again - the lack of trust in the relationship I think. |

It'd be great if you could type up the Chris article, CarlaB! Is it the one from Inside Soap Yearbook? I've still not seen it, meant to have a look when I was shopping yesterday but totally slipped my mind.
Leanne definitely doesn't know about his private visits, we'd have been treated to another of her hissy fits if she did! ![]() I did find it strange Peter didn't make any attempt to visit Carla when he returned but perhaps time away allowed him to get his emotions in check and he’s decided (again) that he needs to keep his distance for the sake of his family. I say family rather than marriage because I really do think Simon’s happiness is at the forefront of him wanting to make his marriage work. Of course there’s every chance time away has also made him acknowledge that his feelings for Carla have grown which would only reaffirm any decision to stay away. He’s letting his head rule his heart I reckon, but we know it won’t last. The bistro scene was an interesting one. Peter really did look uncomfortable with Leanne’s gloating and Carla’s reaction... anyone would think he felt guilty about being intimate with his wife. I like Leanne but her smugness annoyed me in this scene, though I suppose the fact she feels the need to rub it in carla’s face shows how insecure she really is. I’m actually glad Carla’s left now, it means we’re one step closer to her returning. I can’t wait to see how things develop when she’s back. I really hope the writer’s do the relationship justice. What’s everyone’s hopes for the storyline? Personally I hope we see Peter hit the bottle as a result of other issues and seek comfort from Carla rather than him hitting the bottle over Carla/Leanne. I really want to see her be the support to him that he has been for her and for them grow even closer as a result.

I agree Simon's happiness is a priority for Peter, but I also think it's a big mistake to stay in a marriage just because you think it's best for a child. It almost never works out in the long run - and kids can actually be really perceptive. They'll pick up on it if things aren't right in the marriage. If the marriage isn't working (which it really doesn't seem to be) the best thing is to cut loose from it, even if it's difficult and cause heartache - heck, that's real life so I hope Corrie take it into consideration. Definitely listening to his head instead of his heart atm... Peter LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!! lol. Seriously, I'm very much a "heart rules over my head" kinda person and it works well enough for me ![]() I agree - Leanne's deff. insecure. It was like she was marking her territory. I found it a bit cringe-worthy to watch... and I do feel sorry for Leanne (I mean, it's not like Peter's squeaky clean), but it did seem a bit harsh first thing she does to gloat when Carla's clearly not over everything that has happened yet.

I’m actually glad Carla’s left now, it means we’re one step closer to her returning. How long is she away for? A few weeks?

![]() Hopes for the storyline: * Peter and Carla manage to fight both of their alcohol addictions together - and, this is POSSIBLE. (My best friend had problems with alcohol for years, then she met and fell in love with her current bloke and she barely drinks at all now... it's amazing what sort of hell love can pull you out of. I really want a happy ending )* Peter/Leanne call it a day * Peter/Carla's relationship develops and he's there to support her through Franks trial (as I'm pretty sure she has to describe a lot of intimate details about the rape in court? that's gonna mess her up a bit) * I'd be interested to see if maybe Ken/Deirdre take Simon in for a while when Peter falls off the wagon? * Will Peter/Carla getting together negatively effect the trial? Finally... I'm warming to the idea of a pregnant Carla. Which I'm not usually one to jump into the "can so and so get preggers pls" camp... I just think it'd be an interesting direction to take Carla... to show her being a mother. Just because she hasn't had children yet I don't necessarily think she doesn't want them... just maybe has spent so long focusing on her career (because really, the factory's her baby replacement??). Maybe after everything that's happened she does some reassessing of her life. Although... if it did go down this route, I'd want Peter to have committed to her first. I wouldn't want him to feel 'obliged' because of her being pregnant... if that makes sense ![]() Uploading the article next
