Adam Barlow is sinking further into a hole as his marriage to Sarah is in tatters and his career on the edge of ruin. The character hasn't been having the best time of it after former fling Lydia Chambers arrived in Weatherfield back in Decmeber and befriended his wife while unbeknown to them, she was planning on ruining his life.
Bunner boiler Lydia dated Adam at university and when they met again before Christmas, the former love rat claimed to not know who Lydia was, fuelling her acts of revenge further.
So far she has been behind anonymous phone calls, a bogus tip-off to firearms police who stormed Adam's office, a bouquet of flowers with a menacing note arriving at his flat, and planting a phone to back her claims that they have been having an affair behind Sarah's back.
