Coronation Street - Peter starts a fire

Friday, 27 March 2009

As Peter wakes with a hangover Simon's fending for himself again, making his own breakfast so he's not late for school.

When Peter then arrives to work late Michelle can see the state he's in. Fed up with his drinking and being left to run the bookies herself Michelle tells him to stick his job. It's another bad day for Peter and when he gets home he hits the bottle once more, telling a worried Simon he doesn't feel up to reading him a story.

His fingers loosen around his burning cigarette and it drops to the floor.
