Coronation Street Star Chris Gascoyne Reveals Thoughts on Killer Twist and Teases 'Superb' Exit

Unexpected Turn of Events

Coronation Street's Chris Gascoyne, who portrays Peter Barlow in the popular ITV soap, has shared his thoughts on his character's shocking act of murder. Gascoyne also gave a glimpse into his upcoming 'superb' exit from the show.

A Surprising Revelation

In the latest episode of Corrie, fans were left stunned as serial killer Stephen was killed by Peter. Gascoyne expressed his excitement about being involved in such a dramatic storyline and taking on the character responsible for the murder.

Unpredictable Storyline

Gascoyne revealed, "When I read it, I loved that it kind of came out of nowhere, hopefully it was not something that the audience was expecting. They knew that Peter was angry and was looking for Stephen, but I don't think anyone saw that last moment coming until it happened. Peter was one of the few people who was not on the street at that point and then he came out of nowhere."

Departure from the Cobbles

Earlier this year, it was exclusively revealed by The Celeb Report that Gascoyne had decided to take an extended break from Coronation Street after 23 years. Although the door is being left open for his return, fans can expect some intense drama before his character bids farewell to the cobbles.

The Future for Peter Barlow

When asked if this was the "beginning of the end" for Peter, Gascoyne hinted at the character's uncertain future. "Yes, without giving too much away, this will affect his future. He has been arrested on suspicion of murder, he is struggling with his demons," he said. "He has always had lots of enemies, but at the end of the day, he is his own worst enemy."

An Exciting Exit

Gascoyne expressed his satisfaction with his character's exit storyline, stating, "All I will say is I am delighted with my exit storyline. The scripts are superb and I can't wait to see the reaction to how Peter leaves the street."

Coronation Street fans can look forward to more captivating drama as Peter Barlow's storyline takes an unexpected turn and his exit from the show promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
