It’s been a tough year for Coronation Street’s Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) – from receiving the news that he’ll need a liver transplant to collapsing at the altar during his wedding to Carla Connor (Alison King).
And now that son Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has been forced into hiding with his mum Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) after a sting operation gone wrong, Peter’s definitely got a lot on his plate.
But things are about to get even tougher for the soap stalwart as he is attacked while trying to protect son Simon from Harvey’s thugs.
On Wednesday, Peter’s about to get the thrill of his life as wife Carla calls at number one and shrugs off her coat to reveal some very revealing lingerie.
But their intimate time together is interrupted when Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) walks in on the pair having sex in the living room.

In an attempt to remedy the awkward living arrangements, Carla reveals she’s taken on the lease for the flat above Street Cars so they can move in together – after they’ve hastily scrambled to put their clothes back on.
And later, Peter receives a call from the transplant coordinator to let him know that they’ve found a liver for him.
In shock, he tells Carla and Steve the good news and prepares himself to head down to the transplant centre.
On Friday, Nick (Ben Price) admits to Leanne that Sam (Jude Riordan) has been in touch to deliver the news about Peter’s transplant, directed by villain Sharon.
But Simon overhears their hushed conversation at the door, and when Leanne knocks at his bedroom to check on him, she’s horrified to discover he’s disappeared.
Peter and Carla are stunned when Simon turns up at the hospital and announces he’s not going back to the hideout.

While Leanne frets about her son, Peter and Carla eventually manage to persuade Simon to leave, but Peter overhears the hospital cleaner divulging his whereabouts on the phone.
The cleaner punches an already weak Peter while Simon legs it for the door, returning to the hideout and admitting that he nearly got caught to a worried Nick and Leanne.
Back at the hospital, the transplant coordinator explains to Peter and Carla that as a result of his head injury, they’re going to keep him in hospital for a few nights.
Peter’s clearly conflicted, though – he tugs a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and stares at the address on it.
But will Simon’s shock return and the subsequent attack jeopardise his chances of getting a liver?
