Coronation Street spoilers: Adam Barlow’s future doomed as residents ‘plan revenge’ over murder plot

Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) is playing with fire as he develops an appeal case with Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) in Coronation Street.

A few weeks ago, the solicitor visited Harvey in prison and agreed to a plan that would involve getting rid of Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths).

In return for Harvey’s help, Adam has agreed to build an appeal that proves the drug dealer didn’t kill Natasha Blakeman – despite the fact we know he did.

In Monday’s (February 5) episode of the ITV soap, Adam’s emotions were tested when he discovered Damon moving some of his belongings into Sarah’s (Tina O’Brien) flat.

To make matters worse, Adam went along to the Bistro for a few drinks with Ken (William Roache) and Daniel (Rob Mallard), only to find Damon there enjoying time with the Platt family for Sarah’s birthday.

Both of these interactions ultimately fuelled Adam’s determination to continue the plan. During a chat with Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) and Joel (Calum Lill), Adam made out that he was working on a fire-arms case and needed their advice.

He essentially told them the situation regarding Harvey but failed to confirm he was working with the murderer. Adam said he needed to find proof the person in prison was wrongly convicted of pulling the trigger on a gun, and wondered if Dee-Dee and Joel had any idea on how to do it.

That evening, Dee-Dee suggested to Adam that he could argue the person responsible put gunshot residue on his victim, which might be enough for an appeal.

On his own, Adam called Harvey and confirmed they were making good progress.

As the storyline continues, Adam will meet with a man called John Perry at Weatherfield General Hospital, with the intention of pinning Natasha’s murder onto him to make it look as though Harvey is innocent.
