Is Chris Gascoigne (Peter Barlow) Leaving for Good?
Is Chris (Peter Barlow) leaving for good or is it just an extended break?

I hope it isn't for good - think Chris is an amazing actor!

He had said it would be another break. However, Michelle Keegan had understood that "the door would be left open" for her return, as promised by Stuart Blackburn, but he changed his mind.

I heard he is taking a break, as he is eager to some theatre work. He does find playing Peter takes a toll on his metality at times and finds he can never let go off him when he goes home.

Well he needs it, seems bored silly onscreen right now.

Being an actor must be like leading a double life and must be hard to switch off, but they earn good money and have the benefits that go with that. I think some of these soap actors should remember that.

A lot of people think he will be back after a few years but I don't. It will probably be a lot longer than that now. Peter has always been a flawed character but they've turned him into a joke and after this storyline, there's nowhere for him to go, unless he carries on going round in circles.

He'll be back when he realises there's nothing else better for him out there. Which will be soon

Not a break as in a return is already in the pipeline, a 'break' as in he's officially out until he decides to go back, which could be years away.
So yes, in that sense he is going 'for good' but Chris and Coronation Street themselves have no plans to say goodbye to Peter forever. |

He'll never come back until the rest of the street move on and evolve and he can return as a changed man with another story of his own to tell. |

Who knows, he only left for a year back in 2007 so could be back as early as late next year?!

Also he did mention that he wanted to try other things like stage acting, I think he is totally bored with his lot on Corrie personally so I can't see him being back anytime soon. If he ends up enjoying performing in plays as much as the woman who was Janice Battersby I don't know if he'll return at all, or at least not for a very, very long time indeed. |

I'm sad to see him go but can understand it's probably exhausting and repetitive playing Peter Barlow like he has and needs a break, for some actors it isn't a problem, others like a challenge, he must feel his in a position financially or otherwise he can take the risk, I just hope they don't get it in their heads to kill him off.

He also left for 4 years betwee 2003 - 2007 so he might be gone for that amount off time again

I always thought he would end up back with Leanne, for some reason.

I hope he has more screentime with Leanne before he goes, as I think she has been just as important to his development this era as Carla has.

It's ok for some soap actors. They show up, deliver the lines and get a pay cheque. Especially those characters who don't really do much like Emily or Norris. But the likes of Chris who clearly take acting seriously and has delved into the mind of Peter |

Why would anyone possibly want to delve into the mind of Peter Barlow unless they were sick or deranged?
Oh right
