Coronation Street favourite Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) has settled into life with Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths), and things have been moving very fast between them both – but there is deadly danger ahead.
Sarah and Damon began having an affair last year, which eventually destroyed her marriage to Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson).
Since Damon’s return to the cobbles, Adam has been horrified to see him worm his way back into Sarah’s life, though Sarah is clearly totally smitten by the bad boy.
‘She does tend to go for a bad boy but I can totally understand why she likes Damon,’ actress Tina O’Brien said. ‘I think they just get each other and they click really easily so it’s very easy for her to think this is it, this is forever.‘Also Damon’s not messing her around, he’s saying I only want you, I want to be with you, I want to make this work and I think she likes that as well. Although he’s a bad boy he’s not picking her up and dropping her, he’s all for her.
‘It has been very quick but also it’s not their first time if that makes sense. I feel they’ve hit the ground running because they’ve had this previous time together.’
While Sarah and Damon have been making a home together, Adam has gone out of his way to try and take Damon down, by teaming up with Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) in the hopes that he will get rid of Damon for good.
In return for Harvey dealing with Damon, Adam promised to help Harvey appeal his murder charge, something that Tina reveals would leave Sarah horrified if she ever found out.
‘I think she’d be really shocked. She knows that he doesn’t like Damon but something like that could threaten his career, he could lose everything and I don’t think she’d believe he could behave like that.’
In upcoming scenes, Adam is set to sign his divorce papers, but he soon has a change of heart and reveals that he still loves her, leaving Sarah conflicted.
‘It’s a massive mix of emotions, secretly deep down I think she might be having doubts herself, not because she hasn’t got feelings for Damon, I just think she’s just got such a strong connection with both of them.
‘She’s really conflicted because she’s aware that yes she still loves him but so much has happened that she’s not sure they can ever come back from it. She’s not sure they can ever repair what they did to each other, how they treated each other, so although she still has feelings for him she doesn’t think this is ever going to work.
‘She’s scared of what it all means and she just doesn’t want to hear it so she runs out.’
After running out on Adam, a car comes flying towards her and daughter Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), leaving her in deadly danger.
‘She’s got her back to the car so she doesn’t see it coming but it’s flying towards her. As a viewer, knowing what Adam’s got himself involved in, you know this driver is coming right for her…’
Will Sarah survive the crash?
