Plot[]

Part One: Everyone's stunned by Peter's bombshell. Leanne tries to explain herself but Peter's overcome with contempt for her, calling her a whore who wanted him to die in his hospital bed. He continues to shock the guests when he reveals that Nick started him drinking again in order to steal Leanne away. Sally entertains Jeff at No.4, despite Sophie's hostile presence. Peter turns his fire on Ken and Deirdre, berating them for keeping quiet about Leanne's infidelity. Carla also comes under attack for encouraging the affair while trying to seduce him. She runs off as Peter sits down, exhausted. Maria goes after her to make sure she's okay. The guests file out of the church, leaving Leanne with an emotionally drained Peter. Simon's upset to have missed the blessing. Ken and Deirdre take him back to No.1. Tracy rips into Leanne, who tells Nick everything is his fault. Peter and Leanne send Nick and Tracy home. Marc surprises Audrey in the Rovers. The blessing guests arrive back and report Peter's outburst. An upset Audrey heads off to see Gail. Marc's disappointed. Alone at the church, Leanne begs Peter to believe that she loves him and finished with Nick ages ago. Peter accuses her of wishing he had died in the tram crash and gets into the wedding car. Leanne does the same, determined it doesn't end there.

Part Two: Cheryl pushes Lloyd to approach Kevin about No.4. Kevin smiles, saying there's no reason not to have a viewing now. They interrupt Sally's intimate dinner with Jeff. She's furious while Lloyd and Cheryl are embarrassed. On the journey back, Leanne starts to talk about Peter's unreasonable behaviour when he's drinking. He's unmoved. Sean and Julie delight in gossiping about what's happened to Frank. As tempers rise, Kevin rows with Sally and Jeff. Ken and Deirdre chide Tracy for blabbing to Peter. She maintains that she had his best interests at heart. Ken thinks Leanne was Peter's best chance of happiness. Sophie intervenes and defuses the situation. An angry Jeff leaves. Sally's downcast. Janice bursts into No.8 and lays into Nick for ruining Leanne's life. Gail sends her packing. The wedding arrives back. Leanne tells Peter that she knows he still loves her. Peter coldly replies that she's deluded; he hates her and wants nothing more to do with her. Leanne crumples as Janice rushes to her aid.

Notable dialogue[]

Peter Barlow: "Then you're deluded, so let me make this crystal clear. I despise you. I curse the day we met, and every moment that we spent together after that. I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear you, I don't want to hear about you. I don't want anything to do with you. As far as I'm concerned, that bouquet in your hand may as well be a wreath. Goodbye, Leanne."
