ITV Coronation Street fans distracted by Sarah Barlow as she debuts different look

Coronation Street fans were quick to flock to social media as Sarah Barlow made a change to her usual look. The character, played by Tina O'Brien, was back on screen in the ITV soap as the Platt family's concern about Audrey Roberts' money continues.

Last week, in a test to her family after recent events sparked by her drinking and son Stephen's return, Audrey, played by Sue Nicholls, decided she was updating her will to leave all her money to WARTS - the Weatherfield Association of Retail Traders – of which her late husband Alf was a member.

Her family - including daughter Gail - were shocked and upset at being cast out of their mother and grandmother's will, losing any hope of inheritance. David was the most active, going to speak to his brother-in-law Adam Barlow about getting power of attorney over his grandmother.

However, Stephen soon revealed to his niece and nephews that their gran was just testing them - and they failed. Audrey was also furious to learn of David's antics after she was told by long-time friend Ken Barlow about David's inquiries. Audrey did eventually tell her family that she loves them and will leave them her money, but it'll be held in a trust by Stephen. And it's fair to say they've not been overly impressed.

During Wednesday night's trip to the cobbles, Gail hosted a family lunch to officially welcome Stephen back home. But as ever with a Platt family gathering, things soon descended into chaos when David and Sarah embark on a slanging match over Audrey’s money.

Disgusted with the pair of them, Audrey walks out and Stephen was left embarrassed by the whole thing and made the decision that he should head back to Milan, which left his mum crushed. David, however, appeared happy with his uncle's decision but worried about Audrey’s state of mind, Sarah leans on David to put things right.

Viewers had a lot of questions (ITV)

Despite the latest drama within the soap's iconic family, Corrie viewers found themselves flocking to social media to chat about something entirely different as they noticed Sarah had made a noticeable change to her look.

@lulabugz asked: "What has gone on with sarah’s hair tonight? #Corrie." @CxxPIPxx commented: "I'm sorry but... what in the name of princess crowns is going on atop Sarah's head #Corrie." @LouiseHazeldine wrote: "Can someone tell me that on earth they’ve done with Sarah’s hair? #corrie."

@devereaux_pam said: "What's happening with Sarah's hair. Looks like a bagel on her head #Corrie." @corriepodcast joked: "Sarah and Adam will be spending the evening talking about each other's hair tonight. #corrie."
