Peter Barlow received some shocking news on Coronation Street as he prepared to present his surgeon with a gift for saving his life. The recovering alcoholic went to the hospital to give Mr Thorne a bottle of whisky for performing his liver transplant last year.
But nothing could have prepared him for what he found out next. Last week nurse Aggie Bailey overheard Mr Thorne gloating to a colleague how he rushed Peter’s operation in order to win a bet.
She later discovered that all Mr Thorne’s operations have been cancelled until further notice. When Peter and his wife Carla were told by Aggie what Mr Thorne did when they arrived to see him, Peter angrily demanded an apology.
