Coronation Street fans couldn't help that Adam Barlow was bearing a striking resemblance to another member of the family during the latest trip to the cobbles.
The ITV soap was back on screens on Monday night (April 26) for another hour-long edition and fans got a glimpse of Adam as he spoke with his uncle Daniel Osbourne in the cafe. The Weatherfield High teacher was telling his family member about his current situation with girlfriend Daisy Midgley and friend Nicky Wheatley.
The character, played by Sam Robertson, was then later seen with wife Sarah as he waited for her at work and the pair spoke about the current drama surrounding Daniel before the pair joked about them not getting on with each other's families - the Barlows and the Platts.

However, Corrie fans were distracted by Adam's changing look and his growing curly hair had them comparing him to on-screen relative Simon Barlow, who is played by Alex Bain in the ITV soap.
@Nicnac010580 tweeted: "Seems Adam Barlow picked up Simon’s toupee in the dressing room by mistake #Corrie #coronationstreet."
"Has Adam actually borrowed Simon’s hair???!!! #Corrie," @Samanth22356123 commented while @zamp69wall shared: "Look at Adams hair now!! OMG! Is he turning into Simon?! #Corrie."
"Adam what’s going on with the hair, the 70s want their perm back #Corrie," @DebbieTutin joked as @floweroflondon wrote: "What wild adventures will Adam's hair have today? #Corrie."
"Message to #adam on #corrie please i beg you! Cut your hair," @ollychick added.
But not everyone agreed.
@runninoncaffine commented: "Corrie time I think Adam hair is stunning and he is too and George is strange #Corrie @itvcorrie."
"It’s actually nice seeing Adam #Corrie," @NiickBoii said.
Adam has been having a quieter time of late as he puts the drama with former flame Lydia Chambers behind him. The bunny boiler character, played by Rebecca Ryan, caused havoc for the lawyer, faking an affair leading to Sarah dumping her husband. Lydia had been stalking her ex Adam after she befriended his wife Sarah and plotted to wreck their marriage in revenge for how badly the womaniser treated her in their university days.
But after weeks of secretly messing with him, Adam suffered a horror accident that left him at risk of losing his sight. The pair were arguing on the first floor of a shopping centre when Lydia gave Adam a hard shove leaving him knocked unconscious after plunging over the railings in front of Daniel.
At the hospital, Sarah arrived to find Lydia, who was there to apologise for her behaviour. She confessed to tormenting Adam, trashing her own flat and setting it up to look like they had been having an affair. And Sarah called the police.
