Chris Gascoyne, best known for his role in Coronation Street, has been cast in his first major role since leaving the show, joining another soap legend.

Chris Gascoyne, known to fans of Coronation Street as the charming yet mischievous Peter Barlow, is ready to take on a brand new role after saying goodbye to the beloved character. Having played Peter since 2000, Chris is no stranger to the world of soaps, and now he's ready to grace our screens once again in a completely different role.

Last year on Boxing Day, Peter bid farewell to the cobbles of Corrie and embarked on a new journey, following Chris' departure from the popular ITV soap. But fear not, because Chris is now joining forces with soap legend Jill Halfpenny in a new Channel 5 drama, The Feud.

Jill, known for her roles as Rebecca Hopkins in Coronation Street and Kate Mitchell in EastEnders, has a wealth of experience in TV dramas. In The Feud, she will be playing Emma Barnett, a woman who makes a decision that has far-reaching consequences for everyone around her. Meanwhile, Chris will be taking on the role of Lee, an intimidating builder who adds a layer of tension to the already gripping storyline.

The Feud is a six-part series that delves into the close friendships between Emma and her husband John and their neighbors. As they make the seemingly ordinary decision to add an extension to their kitchen, unexpected secrets and skeletons from their past begin to emerge, causing their lives to spiral out of control. With a sense of lurking danger, The Feud explores how Emma's dream of a better life turns into an obsession that brings paranoia and fear.

Fans can look forward to The Feud hitting their screens in 2025, and Jill is already excited about the project. She shared, "The spiral that we see Emma's world take in The Feud, from one seemingly innocent situation to life-altering revelations, is something I can't wait to dive into! Working in the Northeast with the amazing teams at Channel 5 and Lonesome Pine, alongside the rest of this brilliant cast, is a joy."

But Chris and Jill are not the only soap stars in this thrilling new drama. Joining them are EastEnders' Larry Lamb and Emmerdale's Amy Nuttall, who are sure to bring their own unique talents to the table.

In addition to the seasoned actors, The Feud also boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Ray Fearon, James Fleet, Tessa Peake-Jones, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, Alex Macqueen, Judith Alexander, and Joel Beckett. Plus, keep an eye out for TV newcomers Megan Trower, Luke Hammond, and Joel Kai Ali.

Filming for The Feud has already begun in Newcastle, and we can't wait to see the drama unfold on our screens in 2025.
