No offence to the actor, but the character was as capable of being self-absorbed and obnoxious then as in his current incarnation. I always imagined his marriage to Valerie as the happy one, but that isn't true. He alienated Val with his narcissism and insulted her Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-70954576167531780282014-07-29T15:12:47.325+01:002014-07-29T15:12:47.325+01:00I realize that they couldn't have Ken find out...I realize that they couldn't have Ken find out all the problems Peter's having before the actor and writers were ready to proceed so their hands were kind of tied on this one but I am finding it hard to swallow that nobody but nobody would have told Ken about Peter's drinking, the affair, the murder and/or the arrest, not Amy, not Tracy???

She might not tell him on the phone but she would surely write. Peter's character has been the only one to suffer from Ken's absence. They were a great sparring team and displayed Peter's many layers.<br /><br />Deirdre has actually been very supportive of Peter, saying that he was her Humpty Dumptynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-82526800278488457102014-07-29T11:20:37.132+01:002014-07-29T11:20:37.132+01:00Too true!
