Coronation Street fans wasted no time in commenting on social media as they spotted a change to Adam Barlow. The character, played by Sam Roberton, was back on screen in the ITV soap on Thursday night (January 26) in an unusual airing for the soap as it was brought forward by a day due to a change in the TV schedule.
Adam, Weatherfield's very own lawyer, was seen being drafted in to help the Platts after Max Turner was arrested. The nephew of his wife, Sarah Barlow, was picked up by the police and charged with incitement for attempted murder after fellow teen Blake stabbed Alya Nazir in a frenzied attack in Speed Daal.
In shocking scenes, the restaurant owner was impaled by a knife after jumping in front of Maria Connor, who was Blake's intended target due to her plans for a refugee centre. The attack happened during a drop-in at Speed Daal and Max tried to warn them of what was happening after seeing Blake's live stream.
