Peter Andrew "Pete" Buchanan is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Kai Owen. Since Pete's arrival he has been involved in the sex abuse plot within the McQueen family. He made his first appearance on 2 June 2015 and he left the series on 29 June 2016.
The concept and name of the character was announced on 8 April 2015, whilst additional details such as casting was announced on 10 April 2015. Pete is Reenie McQueen's (Zöe Lucker) ex-boyfriend, it is revealed that he sexually assaulted Porsche McQueen (Twinnie Lee Moore) when she was 15 years old and subjected her younger sisters, Celine (Sarah George) and Cleo (Nadine Rose Mulkerrin), to varying levels of abuse. Pete is portrayed as "charming and deceptive" as well as "a nice guy" and as such he was able to convince Reenie that Porsche propositioned him at the time of the event.
It was announced in April 2015 that the McQueen family were going to be centre to a sex abuse storyline. Hollyoaks were working with the NSPCC with the storyline. The NSPCC said "We've teamed-up with Hollyoaks to highlight the most common form of child sexual abuse with the aim of assisting young victims to find help and support"
In early October 2015, it was announced that Pete would face a trial for sexually abusing the McQueen girls.
On 27 November 2015 it was announced that Pete would have Cleo go and hide a key to a lock up that has photos of him and her but she will find out there is also photos of Jade Albright (Kassius Nelson).
Porsche tells Phoebe about how her mother, Reenie (Zöe Lucker), was always better when Pete was around but one night after Reenie came back from a bender Pete sexually assaulted her. It can also be noted that Reenie didn't believe Porsche when she was told about Pete's inappropriate behavior. On the day of Phoebe McQueen's (Mandip Gill) funeral, it was revealed that Pete and Cleo have been being sexual for years prior to the day of the funeral.
