Coronation Street Peter�s killer exit storyline worked out: �I�d stake my mortgage on it�

The end is nigh for Peter

Fans of Coronation Street think that they have ‘worked out’ Peter Barlow’s upcoming exit from the show… and it involves soap serial killer Stephen Reid. Could there be any truth to the fan theories?

Actor Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter on the show, will be leaving Coronation Street this year. However, it has yet to be revealed under what circumstances he will be going.

Coronation Street: Suspicions grow as Stephen makes an enemy of Peter

Recent events on the soap have seen Peter grow suspicious of Stephen after the killer threw him under the bus in revealing that he pawned dead Rufus’s watch. Stephen told Rufus’s widow that Peter had stolen Rufus’ watch.

Once Peter found out that Stephen had snitched on him, he told Carla that he suspected Stephen of having a hidden agenda. Will Peter’s suspicions bring him into conflict with Stephen?

And if so, how will Stephen react?

Coronation Street fans predict killer end to Stephen’s rein of terror

Writing on Twitter, a number of Corrie fans predicted how Stephen’s time on the soap might end. Some feel that Peter could ‘bring down’ his rival.

“Peter is bringing Satan down, I’d put my mortgage on it,” one fan wrote, referring to Stephen as ‘Satan.’ Could Peter be the one to expose Stephen?

And if so, how would that result in his exit from Weatherfield?

Peter kills Stephen?

Another prominent theory is that Peter could kill Stephen. This could come amidst a struggle as Stephen tries to silence Peter – or with Peter enraged at Stephen’s spiking Carla with LSD.

“How will Peter kill Stephen if the rumours are true?” asked one fan.
