Are Peter and Carla going to split up?

Spoilers have revealed that Peter’s ex Abi will notice he has fallen off the wagon next week, and warn Carla that he needs help. 

But when Carla tries to talk to Peter, he continues to insist he’s fine. 

When Carla finds out Peter has been lying to her about relapsing, how will she react?

Viewers know that Peter recently helped former drug addict Abi get her life back on track after she suffered a relapse when given painkillers for an accident at work.

But Peter’s closeness to his ex Abi ruffled Carla’s feathers, especially when she made a pass at Peter. 

Could Abi be about to come between Peter and Carla again?

Peter has struggled with an alcohol addiction for years on the ITV soap. 

But after nearly killing his son Simon by setting the flat on fire, Peter vowed to quit and started attending AA meetings. 

Peter had been sober for almost five years until last year when he failed to find his missing girlfriend Carla, who was in the middle of having a breakdown and hiding from everyone in a squat.

Struggling to cope with it all, Peter turned to the bottle before heading off to a rehabilitation clinic.
