Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne is building the excitement levels for Peter Barlow's next romantic storyline.
When Corrie producer Kate Oates announced Peter's return earlier this year, she was quick to confirm that he'd have a love interest in his sights when he arrives back on the cobbles.
Speaking to Digital Spy at a Corrie press event this week, Chris revealed: "There is a particular lady - or there could be a particular lady, but I don't think I can [say] without giving it away.
"And it would give it all away and it would be a shame. It's very good, as well! It's good!"
And discussing Peter's relationship with his ex-wife Leanne, which gets tense again straight away next week, he added: "I love working with Jane [Danson]. It's dead easy.
"It's dead good fun and we have a nice chemistry. We've played these characters for a long time together opposite each other and we just slip straight back into it.
What to Read Next
"Leanne's always something special to him - and I think he always has his eye half on Leanne."

He also talks about the decision to extend the Barlow clan, with Adam and Daniel heading back to the cobbles next month too.
