Soap fans were left fearing for the future of Peter Barlow on tonight's Coronation Street, only for it to be revealed that a shot he'd taken to the chest had been fired from a paint gun. The first episode of Friday's double bill ended with Peter seemingly being gunned down during a drive-by outside the Underworld factory, but when ITV returned to life in Weatherfield at 8.30pm, a shaken Peter was seen realising that it was paint staining his shirt and not blood.
