Corrie star: 'Leanne can be a good wife'

Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne has predicted that Leanne Barlow could be a good wife for his character Peter if she received a second chance.

Later this week, Peter will discover that Leanne (Jane Danson) cheated on him with Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) last year - leaving him furious and plotting revenge.

As first revealed last month, Peter decides to bide his time before confronting Leanne on the day of their wedding blessing - leaving the future of their marriage in doubt.

Speaking to Inside Soap, Gascoyne commented: "Peter's moved past being angry - he's absolutely livid. He feels really shocked and betrayed but the overriding emotion is hurt - and when Peter gets hurt, he wants to make other people suffer the same kind of pain."

However, he added: "You can't stop loving someone just because you're angry. For Peter to react the way he does must mean he cares for Leanne very much. I think she can be a good wife - if he will let her."

Peter and Leanne's wedding blessing airs on Monday at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
