If you are discussing an attribute or quality of Bill Peters, which would require the use of the apostrophe, you may then choose one of two forms:
"So far, Bill Peters' powerplay has been lousy."
or,
"So far, Bill Peters's powerplay has been lousy."
NOT,
"So far, Bill Peter's powerplay has been lousy."
It's Bill Peters. Not Bill Peter, and never Bill Peter's.
That is all.

Where do you sit on "Bill's Peter"?
