It can't be just this Coronation Street fan who's noticed that since Peter Barlow got together with Toyah Battersby, he's become a shadow of his former sexy self. In fact, he's sunk so low in the dishy stakes these days that he's become rather beige. I mean, all kinds of beige plus off-white and grey. Very dull grey.
When Peter was with Carla he was firing on all his sexy cylinders. He wore black. He was moody. He wore beat-up biker jackets...
He wore spiv suits...
But since getting together with Toyah he's changed. He's even been spotted wearing a white sweatshirt this week, for heaven's sake. No one looks sexy in a white sweatshirt, not even Peter Barlow. And he's in grey a lot of the time too, grey shirts, grey tops.
It's not a good look. Being together with Toyah is clearly not suiting Peter at all.
And then, this week, just when we thought Peter could slip no further down the ladder of sexy and cool, he goes to visit Carla. The two of them sat on the sofa in Roy's flat for a chat about Simon. They had more chemistry between them in that little scene than Toyah and Peter have ever had.
And here's the proof, a screengrab from Wednesday night's episode this week. Yes, Peter's still cloaked in a caramel coat but look what he's wearing underneath. Black is back.
Therefore, my half-baked theory clearly shows that Carla and Peter will be back together before long. No need to thank me.
