Coronation Street’s Harvey Gaskell takes horrifying revenge on Adam Barlow and Damon Hay with murder attempt
Adam's actions leave two lives hanging in the balance.
AFTER initially making an agreement to get him out of prison, Adam Barlow refuses to help Harvey Gaskell.
The Coronation Street criminal strikes back against the solicitor and his own brother Damon Hay by trying to take another life.
Heartbroken and incandescent with rage following his wife Sarah’s affair, Adam Barlow decided to make his love rival Damon Hay pay for destroying his marriage.
The solicitor played by Sam Robertson paid Damon’s brother Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) a visit in prison, where the criminal was sent after he murdered Natasha Blakeman.
In a shock twist, Adam agreed to go against the law and help Harvey get out by framing another willing man called John for Natasha’s death.
But his rage against Damon and despair weren’t enough to keep him committed to the deal as Adam backtracked.
Unfortunately for him, Harvey isn’t one to easily forgive and forget, particularly when his freedom is at the core of his concerns.
Coming up next week on ITV, having signed the divorce papers for Sarah (Tina O’Brien) a sad and guilty Adam decides to delete Harvey’s appeal document.
He then places the USB of the CCTV footage, which proved John’s alibi meaning he could have never murdered Natasha, in a jiffy bag and marks it “The murder of Natasha Blakeman.”
It isn’t long before an angry Harvey calls him aware that the police have the CCTV footage and he tells Adam to watch his back.
Adam then calls at Sarah’s flat and tells her he doesn’t want a divorce, he still loves her and wants them to try again.
A shocked Sarah runs out of the flat and, seeing her mother upset, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) heads over… just as a car accelerates towards them.
Will they survive?
Could Harvey have two new murders under his belt?
Whatever the outcome of the attack may be, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and Adam later find themselves in hospital.
The teacher rails at a guilt-ridden Adam for getting involved with Harvey and unwillingly placing targets on both Sarah and Bethany.
Back on the street, Ken Barlow (William Roache) is shocked to discover how Adam’s actions have affected everyone.
Meanwhile, Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) is confident that Harvey will back off after a stern conversation with his sibling.
But can the thug really be trusted to stay away?
Will Sarah and Bethany survive their attack without any life-threatening injuries?
Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
