rick peach was a vicar who was involved in scenes with sophie webster (brooke vincent) and blanche hunt (maggie jones). during easter sunday, he allowed people to bring their animals to the church, and simon barlow (alex bain) brought his rabbit. blanche wasn't happy however after she stood in dog excrement, and accused rick of using the animals as an excuse to get people to come to the church, rick found this funny. sophie revealed that she would be baptised by rick as he had brought jesus into her life.
