[LadyCG]

I haven't seen it - what's happened?

[Bobbisox1]

His liver is packing in Lcg ( I still might to have a glass of wine though ) :0)

I lost the plot with all the soaps a while ago. Every now and again I catch an episode and have to ask someone to bring me up to speed.

[Bobbisox1]

Well apparently that's all I'm good at on here, that and the weather , haha

If the medical researchers have done a good job he will have a TIPSS procedure and survive a bit longer, before relapsing and then drinking himself to death..... Or staying dry and going on the transplant list....

Spoiler websites have been suggesting that the character might be written out of the series for several weeks now

Looking at the summaries of forthcoming programmes on TV schedule websites finds that "Ken is devastated by Peter's despondent attitude" on Wednesday but there's no mention of 'a tragedy' (or any other type of reference to Peter) for the rest of this week. So he might be around for a while yet.

He's only a Corrie character though. It's not really serious, like when Nigel Pargetter fell off that roof in The Archers a decade ago ;-)

Liver medicine was my last nursing speciality, and one they rarely get right on tv.
