CARLA Connor and Peter Barlow are set to reunite in Coronation Street - in a business sense at least, as Peter steps in to invest in Underworld when Alya decides to sell it back to Carla.
But when did the Corrie characters date and were they married? Here's all you need to know...
When were Carla Connor and Peter Barlow married?
Carla Connor (Alison King) and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) tied the knot in 2013.
Carla had been in love with Peter for years after they grew close when he tried to help her with her drinking which had spiralled out of control.
In 2010 Carla was arrested for drink-driving after driving into Barlow’s Bookies and injuring Stella Price.
Carla eventually confessed her feelings for Peter but he rejected her and married Leanne Battersby instead.
Meanwhile Carla married evil Frank Foster who went on to rape her.
Devastated Carla attempted suicide while Peter helped to pick up the pieces of her life.
They eventually started having an affair, which was exposed in court and helped Frank get off on his rape charge.
The affair lead to Carla and Leanne’s friendship being ruined.
Why did Carla Connor and Peter Barlow split up?
While Carla got totally drunk and passed out on her wedding night, recovering alcoholic Peter remained sober.
And as his new wife was out cold upstairs in the hotel, Peter kissed Tina McIntyre – played by Michelle Keegan.
Peter and Tina began an affair and Tina fell in love with Peter. But it wasn’t long before Carla realised she was pregnant with Peter’s baby and Tina revealed she thought she was up the duff too.
Tina’s pregnancy turned out to be a scare and then the barmaid asked Peter to run away with her - but this only made Peter realise that he loved Carla.
Tina was devastated and threatened to tell Carla about their affair, but Peter decided to tell her first.
Later, Tina was murdered by Carla’s brother Rob Donovan and Peter was arrested, while the stress caused Carla to lose the baby.
When Peter was finally released after Rob was arrested, he tried to make things up to Carla, but she didn’t want to know.
Peter left Weatherfield for Portsmouth soon after and Carla eventually began seeing Nick Tilsley.
