Bill Fellows is the first of the ITV soap's cast to mention Chris' exit as Peter
Coronation Street star Bill Fellows appears to have confirmed the exit of one of the ITV soap's most-loved stars. Fans were already under the impression that Chris Gascoyne would be leaving the show at some point this year as Peter Barlow.
It was then revealed in 2016 that Peter would be making a return to Weatherfield, with Chris remaining in the role ever since. But his latest planned exit was confirmed by the actor himself to Metro.co.uk in July.He said that Peter Barlow 'is very close to his heart,' with a Coronation Street spokesperson confirming to the publication that the door is 'left open' meaning the 55-year-old could return in the future.
Speaking to The Mirror, Bill said: "I've already had scenes with Ken played by Bill Roache, which is great. There's loads of characters I'd like to do a scene with. I really do like working with Bill I have to say. A very good friend of mine who I've had very little to do with is Chris Gascoyne but unfortunately he is leaving, it's sad but hopefully I will have a few little things with him [before he goes], but everyone is so good and so nice.
Previously announcing the news on social media alongside a picture of Chris in his new character, The Alban Arena said: "EXCITING PANTO NEWS. The Alban Arena are delighted to announce Coronation Street Legend Chris Gascoyne will star as Captain Hook in The All New Adventures of Peter Pan this pantomime season!
