It would be Bethany's first time as well, wouldn't it? It would make Peter look like a right predator!
It most likely would be as Bethany hasn't even had a boyfriend since she returned.

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.
Omg no way!

That's just sick! where's the vomit smiley?

Ok first off, i don't think theyd make Peter a pervert, even tho Tina was younger, putting him with Bethany is wayyyy too far. what is she like 16? so shes only just the age of consent. yeah ok shes very old looking (imo anyway) but we know Bethany is meant to b a teenager so it would b really wrong. it would destroy Peter's character probably. and Bethany is only like 3 yrs older than Peter's own kid Simon (i read Bethany was born 2000 and Simon 2003) so yeah

as for the scene last night, i don't think it meant anything. it could of been any character asking her if she's ok, and it just happened to b Peter. probably just random character interaction or something. i remember once there was a scene where Faye asked Peter what time it was (think she was meeting Tim) and nothing happened with those two so yeah i think it was just random character interaction

Peter and Faye to get together?

You make a good point about character interaction. Under Oates there has been more random meetings of characters that don't mean anything; this is fairly new. It makes the whole thing ensemble less contrived but will lead to some wacky theories

Yeah but Bethany was very vulnerable and heartbroken when Peter bumped into her. I could see him running into her again asking her if she is ok now which leads to them talking about Bethany's crush on Gary and the Pethany paring would begin.

It's not going to happen. It is simply just a move towards tighter community feel, neighbours interacting by chance for no reason.

I was just reading on. The soap page that Bethany is going to have a big story in 2017 but it also kind of intimates that her crush on Gary is going to get worse

Oh ok, I'll have to read that article. I hope they explore why Bethany is drawn to men her mothers age that are interested in her mother. Could it be daddy issues perhaps?

It's at the bottom of the 11 stories we know are happening at xmas article

Maybe but she didn't know Gary liked her mum, she did mistake his kindness for something else which I think shows her vulnerableness and lack of maturity. Maybe it is from the lack of a father figure and seeing Sarah parade man after man in front of her

So you're saying Peter is a sexual predator taking advantage of young vulnerable girls

I thought you at least meant some kind of love pairing as mad as that would be with these 2 but you mean some kind of abusive relationship

No I didn't mean it in a predatory way I meant Peter would be offer to listen and comfort her and they would develop a friendship that would eventually lead to something romantic.

I don't know if it's Daddy Issues although she's never had a father figure for long as her father Neil Fearns died in 2003, and Sarah's had many relationships after she was born which has never lasted like Glen Midddleham, Luke Ashton, Todd, Aiden Critchley, Scooter, Jason, Roberto and a footballer (both off screen), Callum and now she's dating Gary.

Todd and Jason were both the closest she had to a real father figure with Jason being the longest father relationship (on screen) Bethany's had between 2005-2007

However, Lucy Fallon has said this on the ITV website:

Would you like to see Bethany find a boyfriend closer to her own age?

Bethany thinks that anybody her age is really immature and she can’t be bothered with them, that is why she has no friends as well.

We have seen her have feelings for Callum and now she has feelings for Gary - she’s always been interested in who her mum is seeing! But she has also always been interested in people who are older and I think her vulnerability is going to cause her problems in the future

I can see Bethany entering into a dangerous relationship with an older man, and I can see that being dark.

But mark my words it'll be an unknown older man and that man will be villainous or have some sort of dark side, I'd wager.

I hope not as I'm hoping Bethany gets a happy storyline in the future after this Gary storyline it's been a terrible year for her especially after the bullying from Lauren and her gang.

That would be too creepy, Tina was pushing it, I like Peter but just no.

And Callum and Gary are in their twenties so the age gap isn't massive

I agree.

I would say many, if not most teenage girls find boys of their own age immature, both physically and emotionally. They want to be older, they dress older, wear make up to look older and they want to date older men rather than boys. Beth any is no different but because there is such a small age gap between her and her Mum, this means the men she's interested in are closer to her Mums age than hers. If I'd fancied somebody 10 years older than me they'd still have been 25 years younger than my mum, that isn't the case here.

If Bethany keeps doing this, flirting with older men, finally one will respond as she is very pretty and attractive. But given her experiences have made her vulnerable as well as barely legal, any man that did respond would be seen as predatory and taking advantage. Therefore, it can't really be a long term character as it would taint them. Much more likely they'd bring a new character precisely for that storyline.

Random as it was I don't think it's suggesting a pairing. Soaps aren't usually particularly subtle when they decide to pair two characters off. Look at what they're doing with Michelle and Robert...they're practically shoving the suggestion they're going to get together in our faces.

Peter would've stopped for a chat if they were planning a liaison for him and Bethany.

I've always half expected Peter to get together with Tracey, and that's not half as ridiculous as pairing him with a kid like Bethany.

- she returns in December
-she has a secret
- Peter's secrets involve a woman somehow
Also it would amp the drama between Peter/Leanne/Nick/Toyah
I agree it is Toyah, do you remember the comment Peter made to Leanne about the the woman he was seeing was like Leanne or reminded him of Leanne, something like that,

There's no way they'd do this. Chris Gascoigne would be unlikely to want to do it, it would be a step too far and viewers would switch off. There would be controversy and not of the good kind, and it would cause lasting damage to the programme.
I agree, I do not think Chris Gascoigne would have came back to a s/l like that. He didn't want to come back to the alcoholic s/l again.

wouldn't Toyah have told Leanne that she was dating Peter though? I also thought Leanne had gone to visit Toyah recently IMHO Toyah and Peter having a secret relationship off screen doesn't make sense.

It was just a thought to throw in the pot for discussion, I still think Toyah, we shall see
