Peter is kicking off to all and sundry in such a righteous manner regarding Simon being bullied.
Peter is seemingly such a loving , caring and protective father who dotes on Simon.

So how come he fobs off Simon to a paid helper whom he happens to lust after and ends up having sexual intercourse with.
And how come he is prepared to lie , cheat and deceive his faithful , loving and innocent fiancee.
How the hell can he be so indignant about the bullying and yet show no conscience regarding what he does with Tina.

The bullying or the Tina affair - which do you consider will have the more traumatic and emotionally scarring effect on Simon?
Personally , I'm inclined to think his fathers misdeeds will be massively more hard hitting to Simon.

The bullying. Simon doesn't/didn't like Carla and thinks of Leanne as his mum so wouldn't care to much if Carla was given the boot. Plus he like Tina.

As for bullying that can stick with some folk for the rest of their life, effect their confidence and lots of other complications mentally. Just because someones dad/mum are playing away doesn't change the fact they are a parent and care for their children.

The bullying video has been uploaded online, so it's there for people to see and laugh at now unfortunately. Simon will probably get over the affair within five minutes considering it's Carla.

Peter is a cheap drunk who is sexually and emotionally impotent. Hence his pathetic little boy type behaviour. He is also a bet welching loser who is jealous of everyone around him. A good toecapping every Monday morning would do him no harm at all. Absolutely loathe him with a passion. I am really looking forward to seeing both him and Tina effectively say that cheap, dirty sex is more important than Simon's stability and welfare.

To be fair at this moment in time he doesn't know he's gonna get into Tango's knickers (unless he reads the Sun!)

Peter's character has not evolved over the years; the only change seems to be that he is emasculated now.

Simon has coped with his father's misdeeds very well in the past ie when Peter burned down his flat etc.

The bullying would definitely have a bigger impact on Simon. In reality, more and more children are attempting suicide and suffering from all kinds of mental and health issues because of bullying that they've been victimized by. Personally, I don't think Simon will suffer anywhere near as much from his father having a private, consensual relationship with another adult - shady as it may be - and if it were the priority of the adults in his life to protect him, he wouldn't be privy to that much detail anyway.

The only time that Peter ever grew as a person was during his time with Leanne and Simon as a family.
He appeared to demonstrate a strength of character when he resisted Carla's persistent advances, but sadly, it turned out to be a sham, and he reverted back to his cowardly, woe begotten old self in no time.That faux appearance of dignity and honour was also the thing that attracted Carla to him ironically and led her to resort to the devious means she used to gulder him in,

He has been living as a cowed little boy now with Carla for too long and personally i think this is something to do with the actor's decision to leave the show also.

He now seems overeager to get the affair with Tina started and seems to have already perked up considerably, he was even at ease enough to smile the other day again

By the way LOL at Mo Mouses sudden concern for Simon's wellbeing. There wasn't much of a squeak out of him while the whole bullying episode has been going on surprisingly either

Just because someone is unfaithful to their partner does not mean that they would find it perfectly acceptable for the own child to be physically and verbally bullied, what planet do you live on?

I don't agree with him being unfaithful to his fiancees (although Carla is hardly a little innocent herself) but they can chin up and take it and deal with it like adults. Simon is a young child who has been bullied, his terror being recorded and everyone knowing about it. Of course Peter is going to be pissed off at that.

And I doubt Simon will care if he loses the old witch Carla, considering she was somewhat responsible for his family breaking up. Carla doesn't even seem to give a crap about Simon's welfare wittering on about the stupid wedding. I hope it fails, no doubt she will be crying to Michelle.

I am not saying Peter shouldn't vehemently support Simon against the bullies. Of course he should be there for him.
I am merely pointing out Peters deeply flawed parenting skills and how his irresponsible and selfish behaviour makes him a poor role model for Simon.
He just pours more and more grief and distress into Simon's life. And Simon needs that like a hole in the head.

LOL, yet you wish for Simon to go to Borstal or to suffer in sick manners.

I agree. But then again that would require the writers and producers to develop his character, but they would rather take the lazy route with another affair. Chris Gascoyne clearly works well with Alex Bain and we need more stuff like that, but the writers would rather introduce cheap plot devices for Peter to keep acting unfaithful which is getting boring. I wouldn't blame the actor if he quit the role, Peter was great when part of a family unit. They need rid of Carla and Peter back to interacting with his family (well the likes of Deirdre anyway).

It's truly mind boggling to see the same people who egged Peter on in his affair with the homewrecking old witch in the first place now rebuking him for doing the same thing to her as he did on Leanne.
None of Carla's fans had any sympathy for Leanne whatsoever they booed and hissed her as if she should just wither away and die.
But now the shoe is on the other foot hopefully some brains have gone into gear and realised what a cruel and heartless thing it is to betray someone who loves you. Maybe....but I wouldn't bank on it

Quite agree. In his ten (is it ten?) years, Simon has coped very well with his father's weird behaviour. Well done, Si!

Carla's cooking will probably do a lot of damage long term
