Peter is determined to get Carla – who Corrie has revealed is no longer a suspect for the roof collapse - the help she needs, but can he save her before it’s too late?

“She is in a very dangerous predicament and unrecognisable to Peter, who is desperate to rescue her,” adds Alison, who first joined Corrie back in 2004.
