Coronation Street fans will recall how Peter, played by Chris Gascoyne, fled Weatherfield for good on Boxing Day in order to enjoy life on the high seas.
Peter had been deeply unhappy having faced possible prosecution for his role in the death of Stephen Reid and had battled with his own inner-guilt.
It has caused his marriage to Carla to come under deep strain and she realised that he was growing apart from her amid his dream of escaping his current life.
In order to ‘set him free’, Carla and Peter mutually agreed to call time on their romance and that he would head off to join his pals working aboard a ship in order for him to become his old self again.
Peter’s adventures on the ship are set to be revisited next week when Simon Barlow reconnects with his dad.
Having been talked into a retreat ran by Rowan’s cult, Simon decides to head off on a new adventure.
Toyah and Nick are beyond desperate for him not to go and they bemoan the thought of him being corrupted.
In a bid of desperation, Toyah races to talk to Simon whilst Nick phones Peter to tell him all about the cult and how they are hoping to take Simon on a retreat.
With his bags fully packed, Toyah is left stunned but it is what Simon says next that shocks her even more.
He has accepted a job working alongside Peter on the boat.

As Simon prepares to leave, Carla admits that she still misses Peter but as they look through some new pictures, she sees Peter getting handsy with another woman.
In the photo, he can be seen with his arm wrapped around a mystery woman.
Has Peter already moved on from Carla?
