Coronation Street fans reacted in horror as Carla Connor became embroiled in a Indecent Proposal-style scenario with a 'slimeball' surgeon. In Monday's episode Peter Barlow and his wife were disgusted to discover that surgeon Mr Thorne had rushed Peter's liver transplant operation last year for a bet.
And they were in for another shock when the investigating manager told them that Mr Thorne had also taken a selfie with Peter's liver in the operating theatre. Recovering alcoholic Peter was so enraged by the news he punched Mr Thorne and was arrested for assault.
In Wednesday night's episode of Corrie the story took another dark turn when, on behalf of Peter, Carla tried to make amends with Mr Thorne. But as she pleaded for him to have mercy on her husband she was shocked when he asked her to dinner.
