PETER Barlow has a bone to pick with Dr Henry Thorne after a vile bet was made during his surgery.
Sadly, his wife Carla Connor gets embroiled in the feud next week in Coronation Street.
Months after undergoing a life-saving liver transplant, Peter Barlow (portrayed by Chris Gascoyne) was back on the operating table for another surgery.
But when he finds out the surgeon in charge, Dr Thorne (Killing Eve star Dominic Mafham) rushed the operation to win a bet with a colleague, Peter sees red and angrily demands an apology.
Unfortunately, after finding the doctor in a restaurant, the situation escalates and Peter lashes out physically and gets arrested.
However, this is only the beginning as Carla (soap legend Alison King) decides to step up in a bid to save her husband from further trouble – but her tactics backfire.
