Coronation Street fans are expressing their anger as one of the show's beloved characters undergoes what viewers are calling a "personality transplant".
Carla Connor's Shocking Transformation
Longtime viewers of the popular ITV soap opera are voicing their dissatisfaction with the recent direction taken by show bosses for Carla Connor, played by Alison King.
The Departure of Carla's On-Screen Husband
This backlash comes as Carla's on-screen husband, Peter Barlow (played by Chris Gascoyne), is set to leave the show. In the past week, Carla returned to Weatherfield after a business trip, only to find her marriage with Peter strained.
A Sudden Lack of Trust
Carla's sudden lack of trust in Peter, who claims to be staying clean, has left fans shocked. The couple's once-solid union has raised questions about the reason behind Carla's seemingly forced change in behavior.
Fan Reactions
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment. Many believe that Carla's distrust of Peter upon her return from Spain felt forced and unrealistic. Some fans even criticized the show's scriptwriters, reminiscing about the days when Coronation Street had more engaging storylines and well-developed characters.
Chris Gascoyne's Departure
Chris Gascoyne is expected to depart from the show as Peter next month. Before leaving, he will be featured in a special two-hander episode with Carla. Recent photos captured the actor filming his exit scenes in Salford as he bid farewell to the show.
