The actor isn't the first to play Peter in the ITV soap but he'll soon be saying goodbye to the cobbles after 23 years
Coronation Street fans were left in a state of dismay during the latest trip to Weatherfield as it was revealed that Peter Barlow was the reason for Stephen Reid's shocking permanent exit. Fans have been speculating as to how the serial killer would leave.
Chris first appeared as Peter in 2000 during Corrie's 40th anniversary live episode. He then left the role in 2003 and returned in 2007 for a brief stint before returning full-time in 2008. In January 2014 it was confirmed that Chris would be leaving once again, but the following year he reprised the role for two episodes for the funeral of Deirdre Barlow, played by Anne Kirkbride.
"So it never feels like we're far away from each other because we know each other so well now." Alison added: "It's alright, it'll all be alright. It'll all come out in the wash," before saying that Chris' exit is "not going to be for ages yet" meaning fans have got more time to see the pair on-screen together
In 1977, Peter returned, this time played by Joseph McKenna until the following year while David Lonsdale portrayed Peter in 1986. Chris has been the longest-serving 'Peter' to date - and it's fair to say the character has faced many ups and downs in the 23 years he has been playing him. Caroline first appeared in Corrie herself in 2015, as Dr Howarth and made another appearance as the character again, later that year, to treat dying Oliver Battersby. She has also appeared in Emmerdale playing a total of four different characters.
