ADAM Barlow is anxious at the prospect of becoming a father for the first time – unaware his wife Sarah may have lied to him.
Secrets never stay buried for very long in Coronation Street and she soon has to face the music.
Sarah Platt is pregnant once again
But the paternity of her baby has raised concerns
Adam Barlow is adamant he has to make sure he’s the father
After her explosive affair with Damon Hay almost cost her her marriage, Sarah Platt (played by Tina O’Brien) dropped a bombshell on her husband Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson).
The Underworld PA revealed she was pregnant but had no idea who the father of her baby could be.
Adam was overcome with anxiety and suffered several panic attacks in recent scenes of the ITV soap as he was worried Damon could be the father of Sarah’s baby.
The solicitor was also concerned he could be cornered by the authorities as he hatched a devious plan to get rid of Damon, which could have killed him as a result.
Aware her husband was crumbling under pressure after the paternity test, Sarah decided to tell him he was the father after all – but she insisted she’d been told the results over the phone.
Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) was surprised to hear from Adam he had received no letter confirming the paternity and in upcoming scenes of the Manchester-based drama, Sarah’s secret unravels.
It all begins when Gail Platt (Helen Worth) helps her pick up Stephen Reid’s things from the flat and Sarah notices her paternity test results!
In later scenes, Sarah goes to another scan appointment and the sonographer confirms that the baby is healthy before suggesting a blood test to find out the sex.
When she offers a test for genetic diseases, both Gail and Adam assure her there are no genetic illnesses in their families but Adam clocks Sarah’s unease.
Adam suffers another panic attack when Daniel asks him about the scan, confiding in Daniel that he clocked Sarah’s discomfort and still doesn’t trust her.
He later tells Sarah that he needs to know for sure that he’s the father and has asked the clinic to send written confirmation.
Sarah then heads home to face the music where she finds Adam clutching the letter and steals herself as he rips it open.
What will the letter say?
Could Damon be the father of Sarah’s baby?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
