EastEnders Character to Turn to Drugs

It has been revealed that Peter Beale will resort to drugs as a means of dealing with his grief. Ben Hardy’s character has been finding it difficult to cope following the death of his sister Lucy and on his 21st birthday, he is set to hit rock bottom. A source confirmed to Digital Spy that Peter will be feeling particularly vulnerable and takes cocaine in order to cope with the fact that his sister isn’t around to share the milestone with him. While the insider confirmed that the storyline is happening, they said that it will be a once-off occurrence as opposed to an ongoing issue. Peter, pictured here with Lauren, has been finding it hard to cope since the death of his sister Lucy.
