Since their happy union took place on the cobbled streets of Weatherfield, it was always destined to end badly.
Coronation Street lovers Carla Connor and Peter Barlow appear set to have a stormy break-up in the upcoming weeks.
Carla, played by Alison King, is left looking angry, betrayed, and upset when she reportedly discovers that the man she loves has rekindled his relationship with his estranged wife.
Rocky road: Coronation Street is rocked when Carla Connor and Peter Barlow split up because he is back with Leanne
Peter Barlow, played by actor Chris Gascoyne, split from Leanne Barlow, portrayed by Jane Danson, after his affair with Carla was made public during a court case, earlier this year.
The trio have been feuding ever since and the tension between Peter and Leanne had become so difficult that viewers would have never believed a reconciliation was on the cards.
However, these pictures reveal the shocking moment that suggests Carla walks away from Peter after she discovers she has lost him to Leanne.

As Peter attempts to restrain his now ex-girlfriend, Carla gives him a mouthful of abuse and tells him in no uncertain terms to leave her alone.
The only person able to calm her down is little Simon, who surprisingly reaches out and hugs the woman he once blamed for breaking up his parents marriage.
It is unclear why Simon, played by 10-year-old Alex Bain, has become friendly towards Carla, but his behaviour is in stark contrast to how he usually treats her.

It’s been a difficult year for Carla as she faced a rape trial, was judged by colleagues and neighbours for her affair with Peter, and next week gets accused of trying to bribe Leanne to leave the area.
The difficult story lines paid dividends, however, and won actor Alison this year’s title of Best Actress at The British Soap Awards 2012.
