Spoilers for Coronation Street follow.
Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has revealed that her character Sarah Barlow will be in grave danger again next month.
Sarah finds herself in the firing line when her estranged husband Adam’s scheme with Harvey Gaskell backfires.
Adam recently tried to negotiate a deal with Harvey by promising to help him appeal his conviction for the murder of Natasha Blakeman.
The lawyer made the offer because he is jealous of Sarah’s relationship with Harvey’s half-brother Damon Hay. After promising to get Harvey released, Adam wanted him to return the favour by getting Damon out of Weatherfield for good.

Speaking about the new storyline, Tina explained: “I think Sarah would be really shocked if she knew what Adam was doing.
“She knows Adam doesn’t like Damon, but something like this could jeopardize his career. He could lose everything and I don’t think she would believe he could behave like that.”
In scenes aired in early March, Adam is seen finally signing the divorce papers as he and Sarah prepare for a clean break.
Much to Sarah’s surprise, Adam soon changes his mind – he tells her that he still loves her and wants them to try again.

Tina continued: “It’s a huge mix of emotions when Adam says that. Secretly I think she might have doubts herself – not because she doesn’t have feelings for Damon, I just think she has such a strong bond with both of them.
“She’s really torn because she knows that while she still loves Adam, so much has happened that she’s not sure they can ever put this behind them.
“She’s not sure if they can ever make up for what they did to each other, how they treated each other. So even though she still has feelings for him, she doesn’t think it will ever work. She’s scared of what this all means and she just doesn’t want to hear it, so she runs away.”

As Sarah runs out of the apartment, a car comes racing towards her and her daughter Bethany Platt.
The frightening incident is linked to Adam’s dangerous deal with Harvey. The exact circumstances behind the plan will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Tina added: “Sarah should be scared – she’s got her back to the car so she doesn’t see it coming but it’s flying towards her. As a viewer who knows what Adam has let himself in for, you know that this driver is coming straight towards her.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday 4 March.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
