Coronation Street: Are they going to put Peter with Bethany?
I thought the scene last night where Bethany bumped into Peter was pretty random and it made me wonder if they are planning on pairing them together. I know it sounds crazy but here me out. First off Bethany clearly has a thing for older men liking Callum and now Gary, and we've seen Peter with a younger woman before (Tina). Also, Chris Gascoyne said the person Peter is paired with would be a shock. What could be more shocking that Peter falling for a girl whose mother is young enough to be his daughter? And finally Kate Oates did the older man/young woman thing with Belle and Dr. Bailey on Emmerdale so all this make me thing a Peter Bethany paring could happen.

They would never put Peter with Bethany, she's only about 15/16 and Peter is 52!!

I hope not, Peter is a great character who is capable of so much more than going after younger women all the time. Also how old is Bethany? I think the actress that plays her is 20.

What makes you think that?
-she has a secret - Peter's secrets involve a woman somehow Also it would amp the drama between Peter/Leanne/Nick/Toyah |

I really don't think they'd put 51 year old Peter with 16 year old Bethany. Legal it might be (just) but it's a much bigger age gap than most would be comfortable with and whist soaps like to shock, it would be very hard for Peter not to come across as very predatory, especially as he knew her when she was a small child.
I know Tina was a lot younger but she wasn't still at school abd was experienced romantically and sexually prior to getting with Peter. I think Toyah, Eva or even Steph are more likely partners. |

![]() Peter would never go for her. The only older woman I could see Peter going for is Liz. That actually might be a good pairing right there.

Lol Mark, never in a million years.
He's nearly old enough to be her grandfather never mind her father. ![]() Nah, got to be Toyah when she returns. She won't be allowed to be single for more than 5 minutes just like Peter won't.

I had the same thought as you, Mark. I really hope they don't go there though. It would ruin Peter as a character. It would be Martin Platt all over again.

It would completely finish Peter as a credible character if it happened!! |

Never say never, while it would be very odd I can see it happening and what was the point of them bumping into each other last night? You know characters don't bump into each other for no reason.
![]() Feel free to come back to me in a couple of months going 'Nah nah ne nah nah' though.

Of course Peter and Toyah have history. He was one of the suspects when she was raped and I think he rescued her when she remembered who had attacked her when she was on her own with him. Leanne wasn't on the show at the time.
Pretty sure Toyah had an abortion shortly before she left. But then so did Susan Baldwin and Adam still exists! |

If Bethany does go out with a Barlow in the future
Spoiler
I can see Peter going out wth Alya. Quote:
That could be interesting. I wonder if Toyah's return will be like Donna on Emmerdale, maybe her secret is a child she had by someone on the street.

Toyah was her mate & went with her for the abortion & when it was all revealed Toyah left after attacking the guy when she mistakenly thought he'd forced himself on Maria!! You may be right about Toyah but I don't remember it!! |

Agreed - it's Chekhov's Gun Syndrome but I really don't think that will be the reason and in this case I am bravely (and probably stupidly) calling NEVER on a Peter/Bethany hook up.
