Coronation Street’s Peter Barlow set to turn up on Ken’s doorstep sporting mysterious injuries
Father Ken is suspicious when he can't get a straight answer out of him
CORONATION Street's Peter Barlow is set to finally make a reappearance - but under rather shady circumstances.
The alcoholic, played by Chris Gascoyne, will turn up on dad Ken Barlow's doorstep sporting a nasty gash on his forehead on the episode airing on 17 October.
Father Ken (William Roach) attempts to question his son on how he acquired the injuries, but is unable to get a truthful response out of him.
Peter tells his father that he has nowhere to stay and Ken softens, allowing Peter to stay in his home while he's away on his trip.
It was announced back in July that actor Chris would be returning to the role as part of a shake-up of the soap.
He left the cobbles back in 2014, only returning for Deirdre Barlow's funeral when Anne Kirkbride died.
Producer Kate Oates decided to bring him back full-time alongside nephew Adam and half-brother Daniel.
Speaking the the Coronation Street press day in the summer, she said: "One of the things I am most excited about and something I consider a real privilege is that I am lucky enough to work on the longest-running soap.
“One of the longest-running families on that soap is the Barlows and why would you not want to strengthen that family?
