ITV Coronation Street fans disappointed by 'new version' of Peter Barlow after hospital error

Coronation Street fans have shared their dismay at the 'new version' of Peter Barlow after he vowed to get revenge on Mr Thorne once again. The recovering alcoholic has been enraged this week in the ITV soap after discovering the surgeon sped up his life-saving operation last year to win a bet.

Peter and his wife Carla were disgusted when nurse Aggie Bailey informed them of Mr Thorne's behaviour before another manager told Peter that not only did the well-respected doctor finish his operation in record time, but that he had also taken a selfie with his old liver in the operating theatre which he then shared with a colleague in a WhatsApp chat with the vile message 'anyone for foie gras?'

Despite Carla and his dad Ken's best efforts to calm him down, Peter couldn't just sit back and wait for the hospital investigation to make a decision. So later, an angry Peter declared that he was going to put a stop to his abuse of power and later found Mr Thorne in a hotel restaurant.
