Peter was an alcoholic remember when he returned in 2008. Maybe when his ex-wife died in hospital he brought home the wrong kid thinking he was Simon after a night of drinking?

Just a thought.

It's a good thought, Callumfreeman

Well, it's more believable than anything else I've seen in a soap of late. That child is the worst cast actor. appearance wise ( in relation to his family ) that I can ever remember in a tv series.

I think Simon might have said something if he'd taken the wrong kid.

It's slightly awkward as he grows that he is clearly a mixed race boy. It doesn't fit in with his family tree and, as a viewer, it is slightly jarring.

He doesn't look any more mixed race now than he did when he started - it's always been obvious, hasn't it? ( well, it has to me anyhow )

He looks nothing like Chris Gascoyne or the actress who played Lucy.
It's probably why Lucy left Peter. She realised she was up the duff by a black guy and she could never hope to pass him off to Peter as his own child.
Then she ups and dies, Peter takes him back to Weatherfield and , surprise surprise..turns out she could have got away with it after all! Not a single person thinks " Hang on a minute..."

If Lloyd finds out he will try and move Simon and Leanne into his poky flat.

This issue is so exaggerated on here verging on abusive. Peter looks nothing like Ken. Carla looks nothing like Rob.
Simon skin is white basically the only identifier of any mixed ancestry is his curly hair and slightly rounder features if you're looking hard enough.

Peter looks a lot like his grandfather though.

Shock at seeing him on Mondays' Corrie....

Your question has been asked before and answers, in the main, have been given that people do not always look like parents; also, that it is insulting to the boy actor.

Yes it is obvious that Simon is mixed but the boy can act and that is all that really matters. Also how come everyone always brings up Simon's ethnicity but no one talks about Adam on Emmerdale, its the same situation with him and what makes it worse is that his brother IRL portrays someone mixed on Corrie where we are to believe that Adam is white, when the two of them look almost identical.

Don't get me started on Adam! He's worse cast than Simon as at least Simon has white skin. Adam has very tanned skin like his brother on Corrie.

He wasn't well cast in the beginning, and now he's older it's more obvious

The main discrepancy for me was seeing the shape of Simon's nose, now that he is older.
