However, Adam chose to show Damon Corrie’s exit gate as he loves Sarah way too much.
With Damon’s return and possibilities of reconciliation, Adam is desperate to get rid of Damon by hook or by crook. Amidst all this, the Adam actress has revealed the upcoming storyline for his character. So, are you ready for some juicy soap insights?
Coronation Street: Adam Struggles With ‘Mental Health’
Coronation Street Adam Barlow actor Samuel Roberston recently teased a huge storyline for his character involving the love of his life, Sarah Platt. To begin with, the actor confessed that he was heartbroken when his character broke up with Sarah. Last year, Sarah cheated on Adam with criminal Damon Hay and even got pregnant with his baby, which led to the pair’s breakup. However, now that Damon has returned, Sarah might give him another chance.
When it comes to Adam and Sarah’s relationship, Coronation Street said that he always loved Adam and Sarah together. He revealed, “I’ve always believed in them, so when I was told they were breaking up, I was pretty gutted personally, but in terms of the storyline, it was exciting.” The actor mentioned, “I’ve always thought that one day maybe they’ll get back together.”
Robertson highlighted the fact that Adam loves so much that he is often blinded by it. The actor expressed that he is even willing to sacrifice his own career and basically everything just to protect Sarah. The soap star even talked about the time when Adam was struggling ‘mentally.’
Earlier, when he found out about Sarah and Damon, it was like ‘fire in his belly.’ He quoted, “But he’s now got the fire in his belly back, he’s got that steel within him, and he’s decided he’s not going to be rolled over and messed about by anybody.” Now that Adam is trying to take control of his life, we will have to see what all exciting adventures he has got in the future storyline.
Samuel Labeled His Character ‘Delusional’
In Coronation Street, after Sarah invites Damon for family lunch, Adam gets jealous and reveals that Damon has been visiting Harvey. However, in the next scene, he himself visits the villain Harvey in prison. When Samuel was asked about the same, he disclosed that at this moment Adam really doesn’t care, he just wants to get rid of Damon at any cost. The Coronation Street star called his character ‘delusional as he has lost all sense. He continued, “He’s willing to torch his whole reputation in Weatherfield to get rid of this guy who doesn’t even really live here.”
Additionally, the actor appreciated his co-stars Will Mellor (Harvey) and Ciarán Griffiths (Damon). He shared, “I’ve watched them from afar and been a big fan of their work.” To surprise, initially, Samuel was intimidated to work with Will as he was a big personality. But eventually, they shared a good chemistry, and he finally felt like they were creating something really good for on-screen. He concluded the conversation by saying, “I’m really enjoying working with both of them.” For more such Coronation Street updates, keep checking the TV Season & Spoilers!
