‘Coronation Street’s’ Tina McIntyre will find herself giving into her feelings for Peter Barlow next week.
The soap favourite played by Michelle Keegan is determined to leave Weatherfield in order to avoid an affair with married Peter – played by Chris Gascoyne – but the pair eventually give in and enjoy another passionate kiss.
A source told Inside Soap magazine: "Of course, Tina is making the most sensible decision for everybody by bidding the Street farewell and leaving Peter far behind. She knows it can only end in tears and those tears will probably be her own.
"Peter doesn’t have the courage to choose between the two women in his life and refuses to sacrifice his marriage. The big problem is the overpowering chemistry between him and Tina – they’re both slaves to this irresistible physical attraction."
Peter, who is married to Carla Connor (Alison King), previously refused to leave his wife for the barmaid but it appears he may be having a change of heart as he begs Tina not to leave.
The insider added: "Peter’s son Simon, who Tina has grown very close to in recent weeks, is as upset as she is about the prospect of her departure. And after Peter tells her she mustn’t go, poor Tina doesn’t know what to think."
