Coronation Street spoilers: Peter’s emotional exit story confirmed as Roy saves Carla

**What does the future hold? (Picture: ITV)**

It seems like Carla Connor (Alison King) and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) are beginning to take divergent routes in Coronation Street.

Carla’s main concern ever since Stephen’s (Todd Boyce) passing has been keeping Underworld from completely collapsing. Carla knew in tonight’s (November 8) episode that if the team didn’t finish an important order, everyone’s jobs would be in jeopardy because the factory is in a complete mess.

In an effort to raise spirits, Carla and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) made up the story that the team was getting paid. The workers decided to go on strike after Izzy (Cherylee Houston) received a text from Beth (Lisa George) confirming that the money Stephen stole from the Underworld account would never be returned.

Undoubtedly experiencing guilt, Peter chose to intervene and make an effort to assist Carla.

He subsequently invited a small group of Underworld employees back to the factory, but he feigned their presence by enlisting the assistance of Simon (Alex Bain), Roy (David Neilson), Evelyn (Maureen Lipman), and Nina (Mollie Gallagher).

During a break from working late into the night, Peter was able to spend some quiet time with Carla.

There, Peter struck up a conversation about how his friend over there is trying to find new employees for his business and suggested that he and Carla sail off into the sunset, leaving the cobbles behind.

In the end, Carla declined. She contended that it was not feasible for her to leave Weatherfield and pack up her life the following week. Shortly after, a client called, so she returned her attention to the factory.

Peter was now in a very bad situation.

Even though Peter adores Carla, he feels stuck and overcome by the feelings and memories of Stephen’s passing if he stays in one place.

We already know that Peter will leave the cobbles over the Christmas break, but will he take up his friend’s job offer and arrange to meet him before 2023 comes to an end, prepared to embark on a new chapter in his life?
