I haven't watched Corrie for about 18 months but I hear time warp Peter Barlow, who has already defied his 52 years many times, is in line for a new girlfriend.

Anyone know who it is, and is she over 30?

Interesting that Chris Gascoyne is 48 so not a million miles away from Peter's actual age.

I've got to agree though, Peter being teamed with younger women time and time again is getting silly. Saying that, Ken got with Deirdre when he was in his 40s and she was in her 20s so it must be a Barlow family trait.

Actually, now I think about it, Frank Barlow (Ken's dad) got with Christine Hardman who was over 20 years younger than him and one of Ken's school friends.

They're dirty dogs them Barlows ...

Omg are u actually joking me?!

Peter Barlow is 52?! Wtf!

i thought he was like 40 something, maybe even late 30s

Ok if the character is 52 he ought to act his age! he's wayyyy too old to keep having affairs and shagging women all the time who are always younger than him. he needs to grow up big time

also why does he always have to have a girlfriend on the go?

Didn't Michelle Keegan say Chris Gascoyne was the sexiest man on the show? Thats why he gets the younger women.

Exactly, do they stop shagging at that age?... Peter (Chris) is bloody gorgeous, whatever age he is, he's extremely shaggable... Who cares about a number, he's, swoooon, lovely....

I'm rather gobsmackedo at the idea that 52 is past it. Gascoigne, and by default Peter, is a very attractive and see you man. Peter also has the 'little boy lost, just needs the right woman to understand him for him to come good' personae that many women do find hard to resist.

Have Peters girlfriends been that much younger than him aso a rule? Carla is 42 so 10 years, Shenley would be early to mid forties now, likewise Lucy. MichElle is also 40 who he dated.

Yes, Leanone is 16 years younger but as previously discussed, she comes across much older.

So, it's only Tina that was really yuck.

BIb cos he is a man and they can't be alone esp a Baldwin

Plus he is just the age where lots of men have mid life crisis and have lots of sexy time just not always with their own wife/gf

Because he is charismatic, handsome and oozes sex appeal. The guys want to be like him and the ladies want to have and tame him. And being older gives him the sagely nod of wisdom. I'm sure the likes of Eva and Alya would melt at his tough guy navy stories from before they were even born. That's why!!

I thought you'd been on the sherry at least kk. It was a very funny post even if you hadn't intended it that way

I got the gist though and do agree.

Yuk. My Dad is 52 and the idea of him with Michelle Keegan makes me feel ill. That said, Chris Gascoigne does look younger than his 48 years despite his smoking and drinking habits. Good on him

Thanks for the replies. And I know at 52 most people are not ready for the rest home.

But Peter's character seems permanently stuck at the age of 35. It needs updating!!

I know exactly what you mean Gusto. I think what Peter needs is some depth adding to his character, rather than just the now superficial repeats of alcoholism or his latest relationship disaster.

What's life like for him? How does Peter see himself? What's his view on his own identity?

He has a string of failed relationships, how has that impacted on his life?

Similarly, he's been incapable of holding down a job for the last few years. How does this influence the life of someone in their 50s?

Would love to see Corrie addressing some of these points but I doubt that they will.

Personally, and I've mentioned this before, I'd like to see Peter have a storyline that deals with the implications of long-term unemployment.

Peter is hotter than most of the younger cast! Aside from Todd and Gary the ginge, the rest do nothing for me, but Peter is sex on legs!
