The seven lives of Peter Barlow

In an interview with Chris Gascoyne in the TV Times - read it here - it was pointed out that the character of Peter Barlow in Coronation Street has been played by seven different actors.   Yes, seven.  Is this a record? Have any other characters been played by more actors?

And so, without any further ado, here are the seven lives of Peter Barlow (with thanks to corrie.net)
