Coronation Street fan makes hilarious realisation about the five stars in glam new photoshoot
What do these five women have in common? (Picture: ITV)
Coronation Street’s latest Women of Weatherfield photoshoot has shown out favourite leading ladies all glammed up ahead of an exciting summer on the cobbles.
But it’s also brought up a surprising realisation that legendary Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) has had romances with 5 of the 9 women.
Ever the player!
Of course, Peter sadly bowed out of the street at the end of December, bringing his 23 years in the role to a close. This week, son Simon (Alex Bain) will join him on board a yacht, as they sail off into the future.
The move devastated his wife Carla (Alison King), who in the last month has struggled with the realisation that he’s moved on with a new woman.

Over on X/Twitter, Corrie fan Abbey posted the above photo and wrote (to much hilarity): ‘This must be what Peter sees in his dreams.’
Carla was married to Peter twice – the first time back in 2013. Their first marriage was doomed from the outset, with him soon engaging in a steamy fling with Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan).
The following year, he was sent down for her murder, but when Carla’s brother Rob (Marc Baylis) confessed to the incident, he was released and he returned to Portsmouth where he’d lived whilst in the Royal Navy many years before.

The two had only got together when she supported him through his alcoholism, with him feeling unable to open up to then-wife Leanne (Jane Danson).
Leanne had been to hell and back with Peter, even adopting Simon to give him a more stable upbringing.
After spending some time away from Weatherfield, he returned in 2016 following dad Ken’s (William Roache) stroke, and it later transpired that he’d been embarking on a secret relationship with Leanne’s sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor).

Abi and Peter bonded over a boat (Picture: ITV)
The pair bought the Rovers Return together, in a surprising move for someone with a drink problem, and decided to have a baby together. When their surrogate suffered a miscarriage, Toyah resorted to desperate measures and passed off Eva’s (Catherine Tyldesley) baby as their own.
Peter’s flings with Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) and Maria (Samia Longchambon) may come as a surprise to viewers of the ITV soap as they were only brief.
Back in January 2019, Carla bought a boat for Peter to make seaworthy, and in doing so struck up an unexpected friendship with Abi, with the pair bonding over their shared experience of substance abuse.

Despite a whirlwind romance, he saw the light of day and chose Carla. The incident caused Abi to hit the bottle and accuse him of leading her on.
When Roy Cropper (David Neilson) accidentally set the boat alight whilst sleepwalking the following month, Abi was prime suspect. The truth came out and the incident began Carla’s psychosis journey.

Finally, back in 2007 amid Tracy’s (Kate Ford) court case for the murder of Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward), she warned Peter to stay away from Maria after spotting them flirting with one another.
Enjoying dinner at her flat, Peter kissed Maria on her doorstep and Tracy went mad, branding her a ‘tart’.
She’s always had a way with words!
