HEARTBREAK is on its way to Carla Connor this Christmas as her marriage with Peter Barlow is due for an emotional end.
And after a discussion about her pain, Coronation Street favourite Roy Cropper grows concerned for her.
Bad times are ahead again for the Underworld factory boss.
In scenes due on our screens, Carla Connor (Alison King) reveals that she and her husband Peter have parted company and her pal Roy Cropper (David Neilson) is concerned for her.
Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) has spent most of his life in the cobbles, thus becoming involved in plenty of dramatic storylines throughout the decades on ITV.
In early April, 2023, the beloved cabbie celebrated his 58th birthday and after mowing over Stephen Reid in October, 2023, Peter believes it’s time for him to have a fresh start away from the Street.
As viewers will recall, Peter has been struggling with his guilt over the serial killer’s death.
This Christmas, he makes the decision to leave Coronation Street and chooses to sacrifice his marriage to Carla in the process.
Coming up, Peter gives Carla a beautiful present, a silver bracelet inscribed with “P loves C.”
But he is shocked when she reveals what she has bought him.
The Underworld boss has been trying to make sure Peter doesn’t feel neglected as she remains focused on saving her business.
In another attempt to make Peter feel special, Carla has gone all out in her search for his Christmas gift – but will he appreciate it?
Later on, an emotional episode explores the relationship between Weatherfield’s answer to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton – Carla and Peter.
The pair look back over their tumultuous and long courtship before realising that, although they will always love each other, maybe they are better off apart.
They sit down to their last supper together but will these soulmates be able to come to terms with a future without each other?
Peter heads out of the flat with his holdall, closely followed by Carla, and he’s touched and surprised to find the whole family, with the exception of his son Simon (Alex Bain), waiting outside.
The cabbie exchanges emotional farewells with each of them and promises his father Ken Barlow (William Roache) that he’ll keep in touch.

After breaking the news to Roy, as mentioned above, Carla announces she’s going to work from home and hurries out, almost knocking a lad called Bobby over on the factory steps.
But what will she do when she discovers Bobby (Jack Carroll) is her long-lost nephew and he’s decided to settle down in Weatherfield?
Could her separation from Peter take a toll on her mental health?
