25. Peter Barlow and Carla Connor/Barlow, 2011- (62 votes)
We’ve reached halfway!
Carla had feelings for Peter since 2010 and Peter had refused her seductions as he was married to Leanne and viewers were gripped by their ‘will they/won’t they?’ relationship. But in 2011, they embarked on an affair which was revealed in Frank Foster’s court case for raping Carla. Leanne offered to forgive him, but Peter declared his love for Carla. Over time, Leanne came to accept the relationship and she then married Nick Tilsley. In 2012, Peter and Carla went to America for a few months and in 2013 they married.
But weeks before the wedding, Peter had started flirting with Tina McIntyre and they kissed on Peter’s wedding night. Since getting married, Carla was preoccupied with Hayley’s illness and failed to see the signs that Peter had wandering eyes and even slept with Tina while Carla was visiting Hayley. But when Tina asked Peter to leave Carla for her, he refused. Tina then left for London and Carla was still in the dark over the fling. Tina has returned once again and will continue her affair with Peter.
What do you think the future holds for Peter and Carla? Would you like them to survive the affair?
