Chris Gascoyne is making waves post-Coronation Street with a dramatic transformation that fans won’t see coming. Known for his longtime role as the troubled yet endearing Peter Barlow, Chris has traded the cobbles of Weatherfield for something much darker in The Feud, a gripping new drama airing on Channel 5. He takes on the role of Lee, an intimidating builder whose presence quickly becomes a looming threat in the lives of Emma and John Barnett.

What begins as a simple plan to extend a kitchen soon spirals into chaos. Objections from neighbors trigger hidden grudges and unearth secrets that threaten to destroy lives. Jill Halfpenny stars as Emma, a woman whose dream home renovation quickly descends into paranoia and obsession. Lee—played with unnerving intensity by Gascoyne—isn’t just a builder; he’s the kind of man who thrives on power and control, making him a dangerous wildcard in this six-part psychological thriller.

Alongside Gascoyne and Halfpenny, the cast features other soap legends like Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell, EastEnders) and Amy Nuttall (Emmerdale), making The Feud a must-watch for fans of British drama. Expect tension, mind games, and sinister revelations as Emma’s once-charmed life begins to crumble. With Gascoyne proving he’s more than Peter Barlow, this twisted domestic thriller is set to leave viewers guessing who they can trust—if anyone at all.
