CORONATION Street introduced viewers to a brand new character last night in the form of Valerie.<\/p>\n
She arrived on the ITV cobbles to chat to Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) about his liver transplant as she was the donor's mother.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Valerie, played by Jackie Morrison, arrived on Coronation Street to meet for the very first time with Peter Barlow.<\/p>\n
Peter had arranged a meeting with her as she is the mother of his liver donor.<\/p>\n
The cab driver was keen to hear from Valerie about her son and to thank her and her family for allowing him to have his much-needed transplant.<\/p>\n
Supported by wife Carla, Valerie insisted that she be called Val to Peter as she opened up about her son.<\/p>\n
She told the couple that he was killed in a car accident but was pleased that if there had been any positive to his death that it was allowing for someone else to live.<\/p>\n Peter became emotional as he told her about his alcoholism and how he felt it was 'self-inflicted' yet her son died without any provocation.<\/p>\n Valerie refuted such claims and insisted alcoholism was a disease and anyone who thought otherwise was ignorant as she expressed her happiness that Peter received the transplant. <\/p>\n Peter gained the liver transplant three years ago amid his battle with booze and has managed to remain clean ever since.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He has been supported by the Barlow clan amid his addictions.<\/p>\n Amid his meeting with Valerie, Peter is set to depart the Coronation Street cobbles imminently as it becomes clear he needs a fresh start following his involvement in Stephen Reid's death and his deteriorating marriage<\/span> to Carla.<\/p>\n He will be taking a break from life in Weatherfield but the door has been left open for his return.<\/p>\n Peter has been contemplating head abroad to reunite with his sailing pals and take to the high seas.<\/p>\n Although the plan was initially shut down by Carla, having received a postcard from one of his friends, it seems that Peter has once again be considering if he should take the plunge.<\/p>\n We know that he will exit the show for good on Boxing<\/span> Day and actor Chris has already been pictured filming his final scenes on a Manchester tram.<\/p>\n So just how will he leave?<\/p>\n And is his marriage to Carla over for good?<\/p>\n Chris first joined the show in 2000 to play the character of Peter.<\/p>\n His first stint saw him on the cobbles for three years before he exited in 2003.<\/p>\n He eventually had a brief return in 2007 before coming back permanently in October 2008.<\/p>\n Chris once again waved goodbye in late 2014 but made a guest appearance the following year for the funeral<\/span> of his on-screen step-mother, Deirdre. <\/p>\n In October 2016, he arrived for his third permanent stint where he has remained until his exit next<\/span> week.<\/p>\n<\/picture>farewell <\/span><\/p>\n
