Adam Barlow in sick scheme to free Coronation Street killer Harvey Gaskell

HELLBENT on revenge, Adam Barlow is in cahoots with Harvey Gaskell to get rid of Damon Hay.

However, the Coronation Street solicitor realises how much harm he'll need to cause before the killer can roam the cobbles again.

Adam Barlow (portrayed by Sam Robertson) was crushed to find out his estranged wife Sarah (Tina O'Brien) decided to give romance with Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) a chance.

Since then, the solicitor has been determined to get Sarah back but his method could bring him even more trouble as he turned to Weatherfield criminal Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) to get what he wants.

Coming up next week on ITV, Sarah is celebrating her birthday but Adam is seething to see her helping Damon move his things into the flat.

Later, Adam asks Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) and Joel Deering (Calum Lill) about a firearms case he’s taken on and wonders if they’ve dealt with anything similar.

As Damon hands out shots to members of Sarah's family - her grandmother Audrey Roberts, her mother Gail Platt, her daughter Bethany Platt and brother Nick Tilsley - and raises a toast to Sarah’s birthday, Adam shoots him daggers.

However, Adam's luck could be set to change as Dee-Dee and Joel arrive at the bistro to tell him that they might have cracked his case.

In other scenes, urged on by Damon, Sarah suggests to Adam it’s time they discussed their divorce.

Struggling to hide his emotions, Adam tells Sarah he wants the flat sold as he doesn’t want Damon living in what was once his home.

Adam takes things a step further and visits Harvey to run through his grounds for appeal.

He points out that the only way to be sure of success is if they can pin Natasha Blakeman’s murder on someone else.

Harvey later calls Adam, telling him a man called John Perry is willing to confess to Natasha’s murder.

Adam tracks down John to Weatherfield General and he’s horrified to realise he’s a cancer patient. 

Will Adam really go along with Harvey's scheme?

Could he regret doing so?

Will he ever get rid of Damon?

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
