Coronation Street star Bill Fellows has spoken of his sadness ahead of Peter Barlow actor Chris Gascoyne\u2019s exit from the show.<\/p>\n
It was announced earlier this year that Chris would be taking an extended break 23 years after first joining the show, during which time character Peter has had a tumultuous life.<\/p>\n
Storylines have seen him suffer through alcoholism, be found guilty of the murder of Tina McIntyre despite being innocent, and participate in numerous affairs.<\/p>\n
In all his time on the show, one character he hasn\u2019t had much interaction with is Stu Carpenter, played by Bill Fellows.<\/p>\n
Bill has recently expressed his disappointment at not having been able to work with Chris, despite them being good friends.<\/p>\n

\u2018A very good friend of mine who I\u2019ve had very little to do with is Chris Gascoyne but unfortunately he is leaving,\u2019 he told The Mirror. <\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s sad but hopefully I will have a few little things with him [before he goes], but everyone is so good and so nice.\u2019<\/p>\n

He went on to reveal who he enjoys working with on set, with none other than William Roache, who plays Peter\u2019s dad Ken, coming out on top.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve already had scenes with Ken played by Bill Roache, which is great. There\u2019s loads of characters I\u2019d like to do a scene with. I really do like working with Bill I have to say.\u2019<\/p>\n
It is as yet unknown how or when Peter will leave Weatherfield, but actor Chris Gascoyne already has his next job lined up.<\/p>\n
He is set to play Captain Hook in the pantomime Peter Pan across the festive season.<\/p>\n
The show is being staged at The Alban Arena and boasts a \u2018star-studded\u2019 cast, as well as \u2018stunning sets and dazzling costumes\u2019.<\/p>\n
