Keep Peter get rid of Adam he is an useless character
And Yet Anotyher Corrie member bites the dust, will there be anyone left in the cast at this rate! :lol:
Fortuantely Corrie have many EXCELLENT actors left in the cast. The loss of this minor character will only improve this great programme. After all he was only brought back because of Traceyluvs murder case. At least he returned for his sister's trial and wasnt brought back from the 'dead':rotfl: :pQuote:

I agree i cant stick the bloke. Hes as wooden as a forest.
Poor Adam. Someone needs to put in a good word for him....er....unfortunately I can't think of any...
Finally Adam was only good for one storyline and that was Mikes death which was brilliant. Adam should have left when he gave Danny the factory back.
Adam hasn't had much of a purpose for ages. The stuff with Mike and Ken had a new route with Adam there, but seeing as both his parents are dead everything with him is just filling in time, given that he sold his share of the factory to Liam to wind Danny up.
Now that's a matter of opinion! :pQuote:

I thought he was awful in that as well. I remember when he found out his dad had died in the following episode. His facial expressions were non-existent, a couldn't care less attitude. He is painful to watch, but mercifully his ties with the street like the factory have slowly been cut, and his appearances less frequent. If he doesn't go now, it's only a matter of time.Quote:

Sam Robertson has said that he would like to return to Coronation Street.
The Beaver Falls star originally joined the soap in 2004 as Adam Barlow, the grandson of Ken Barlow.
However, he stated that he "wasn't a very good actor" during his days on the ITV1 drama, which he left in 2007.
"I wasn't a very good actor back then. It's as simple as that," he told the Daily Star.
"I was getting recognised all the time and getting all this attention but I didn't think I had earned it. I knew I was doing a pretty s**t job and I was too scared to learn on the job.
"I was in it for two and a half years and I did definitely improve because I had never acted before in my life. But it was some of the worst Corrie acting, to be fair."
He continued: "I was with two of the show's biggest stars and I had never read a script in my life before. I was a rabbit in the headlights.
"Now I look back and see the amazing opportunity but at the time I just couldn't cope with it."
Robertson added that he would like a comeback on the soap to show that his acting has improved.
"It's not a job you can dip your toes in. It really does take over your life. It's a life choice at the end of the day.
"A part of me wants to go back just for a few episodes just to show I can actually act. Beaver Falls has definitely helped as the response I've been getting from people has been amazing."
Beaver Falls series two starts on Monday (August 6) at 10pm on E4.

Gosh, I've only just realised it's him! I doubt they'd bring him back in, although I have totally forgotten how they wrote him out...
Kate Oates revealed her excitement at bringing the Barlow dynasty back to the heart of the show with, first, the return of Peter Barlow and soon the arrival of Adam Barlow and Daniel Osbourne.
Kate told What’s on TV it was a no-brainer to bring back Peter (Chris Gascoyne).
“Chris has such a love for the show I think there was always the hope that he would come back,” she said. “I think it was good mutual timing thing really. I think he lights up the screen, he’s so charismatic, he’s such a fantastic actor, he’s so deeply dedicated to what he does, he thinks about every word and every nuance, he loves the craft of it.
“So having Chris back is great not just for the viewers, but for the people behind the scenes. Everyone loves him, so I think that when Peter is here you have a more whole Coronation Street.”
Kate said expanding the Barlow presence in Corrie was a logical step. “There was no bringing back or creating new characters, you know, long-lost siblings. These characters already existed. You’ve got Mike Baldwin’s grandson and Ken’s son. Historically Mike and Ken were always at loggerheads, so the idea of having their two offspring arrive at the same time and having that dynamic between them was just too good to pass, so I’m really excited to have that nice, strong Barlow core at the centre of the show.”
Kate has been in the job at Corrie for six months and before that was series producer at Emmerdale for three years. She said Corrie and Emmerdale share more than they differ.
“There is a different element because you’re dealing with cast who’ve been here [at Corrie] such a long time and because they’ve been through such change and so many producers. When you sit and talk to some of the actors who have been here since the beginning, the stories and the anecdotes, you could just stay chatting to them for days on end and not get bored. It’s fascinating stuff.”
She continued: “You do get a sense of the history and the icons as you work on a show like this. It’s important not to dwell on it too much because you’d probably be so terrified of doing anything that you wouldn’t get out of bed! But it is a privilege.”

Sam Robertson has given a candid and honest assessment of his previous stint of the show ahead of his long awaited comeback. Admitting that he was still developing as an actor when he first played Adam Barlow, the star admitted that he was only persuaded back to Weatherfield because Adam would have more depth this time – as well as the reputation of his new boss Kate Oates.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk ahead of the episodes which see him spin back onto the cobbled streets in a Jag, Sam said: ‘I think I’m very different as an actor compared to when I left the show. I class myself as an actor now whereas when I left, I felt like I was a trainee or a runner of some kind, I was pretty useless wasn’t I!?
‘So yes, it was good to do that because I felt a lot more confident and secure as a performer but I was back in this old environment, which brought back memories of being the opposite. So it was nice to actually be able to express myself a bit more and I felt a that okay, maybe this will work.’
He added: ‘I think the character’s more fully formed. When he first came to the show, no-one knew even what his second name was, sometimes I’d get a script and it would be Adam Baldwin and then the next week it would be Adam Barlow. One minute, I think the idea was that he was going to be a bit of a cool kid, a hit with the ladies, and then the next minute he was a little bit bookish and a bit nerdy, I don’t think anyone quite had an idea what to do with him and I felt that really.
‘I never got the momentum going from that beginning and ultimately decided it would be best if I left. So for it to come back again, I wanted to have assurances that it was going to be a lot more fully formed and a lot more involved and already that’s clearly happened, so for me it’s a lot more exciting to be here this time than it was last time.’
Adam comes back to the Street with some secrets – and is immediately rubbing up certain people the wrong way, with clashes unfolding with Robert Preston and the Connors. Excited about the drama ahead for his alter-ego, Sam told us of his joy at working with Kate.
He explained: ‘I actually said to Kate that my mum is always my reference for soaps and I trust her eye, and I watched all the soaps back and I said to my mum, “I think Emmerdale’s a bit better than Corrie at the moment” and she went “Yeah, it’s Emmerdale’s producer that’s moving to Corrie.” I was like “Aah, that’s alright then.”
‘I told her the first day I met her. I thought Emmerdale was fantastic when I watched it and I thought Corrie was a bit lacklustre and I was a bit concerned about the direction it was going in, so when I heard that Kate was coming in and it was her going to be editing, I was more excited about the prospect of coming back.’

Coronation Street's Adam Barlow resorts to blackmail next week as he desperately tries to keep himself out of the frame for Ken's attack.
Adam (Samuel Robertson) is one of several sinister suspects in the mix after Ken was pushed down the stairs by a mystery attacker in Monday night's dramatic double bill of episodes.
Although everyone thought that Adam had returned to Canada after being rejected by Ken earlier in the month, viewers saw him skulking around the Street around the time of the attack.
Next week's Corrie episodes see Adam admit that he never left the country at all, which leaves the whole family very wary over his lies.
Still recovering in hospital, Ken (Bill Roache) also lets everyone know about how Adam got himself involved with drugs – causing the rest of the Barlows to question what he's truly capable of.
Sensing that the walls could be closing in on him, Adam approaches Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) and urges her to give him a false alibi for the time of Ken's attack.
When Rosie refuses to lie to the police, Adam retaliates by threatening to expose her recent drugs smuggling and points out that it would drag her mum Sally's name through the mud too.
Later on, the inevitable happens as no-nonsense DS Mackinnon – who's leading the case – decides to question Adam about the Ken incident.
Adam admits that he never left the country, but adds that he's in the clear because he was with his "girlfriend" Rosie all night when Ken was targeted.
Under pressure, will Rosie back up Adam's false claims?

Coronation Street spoilers: Adam Barlow shoves Daniel Osbourne in a car boot after they launch into huge scuffle
Adam Barlow’s feud with Daniel Osbourne will escalate over the coming weeks of Coronation Street – with shady Adam locking his uncle in a boot.
The pair haven’t had a good relationship since stepping onto the cobbles and back into their family’s lives once again.
And since Ken Barlow (Bill Roache) was pushed down the stairs, their relationship appears to have become even more fractured.
New snaps have shown Adam (Sam Robertson) grabbing Daniel (Rob Mallard) around the neck with his arm.
Adam grits his teeth in fury as he throws his uncle backwards into the open boot of the parked car.
The polar opposites have frequently bickered, with Daniel snitching on his cheating to Ken and Adam telling Chesney that Sinead cheated on him with his uncle.
Both Daniel and Adam are currently suspects in pushing Ken down the stairs.
Since waking up from his coma and finding out what happened to him, Ken has demanded that his relatives leave his hospital room as he believes one of them tried to kill him.
He said: “I never thought it would come to this. It wasn’t affection I felt from them, it was menace. I was genuinely frightened. The worst thing is, I couldn’t begin to tell you which one.”

Coronation Street could see another character's life hang in the balance, as Adam Barlow is rumoured to overdose in an upcoming storyline.
Previous reports suggested that Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) will be revealed as having been involved in the death of Adam's mother Susan 16 years ago.
It turns out that Adam (Sam Robertson) could be making that shocking discovery – and he reacts by downing painkillers and alcohol, according to The Sun.
Adam is in a bad state, but fortunately he is saved by his uncle Daniel (Rob Mallard). Sam Robertson's character at first asks Daniel not to call an ambulance.
Ken Barlow (Bill Roache) supports his grandson after the overdose.
https://youtu.be/aqfnul-9Dbw
Susan was thought to have died in a road accident back in 2001, while fleeing a vengeful Mike Baldwin with their son Adam – who at the time was played by Agents of SHIELD's Iain De Caestecker. Adam only suffered minor injuries.
But how will everyone else respond when the truth behind Susan's death is revealed?
Digital Spy
It's amazing how many coincidences there are in Corrie with all the characters somehow being involved in the lives of other characters years before they came to Coronation Street. Pat Phelan/Nicola, Norris/Colin, Adam/Billy.......
Or is it something to do with very lazy and unimaginative writing?
The good news for any Eva and Adam shippers is that there's still hope for the pair, as an upcoming Christmas storyline sees them thrown back into each other's orbits.
It's been revealed that Adam and Eva will start working together as they help out with the community centre's Christmas celebrations.
We have a feeling that the Corrie writers aren't just throwing the pair back together for no reason, so could this be the moment that they become a proper couple?
Teasing the possibility, Corrie's producer Kate Oates told Soaplife: "Adam's been a player with the ladies in the past, but he does have genuine feelings for Eva.
"Eva's been so traumatised by what's happened to her over the past year that, for once, she hasn't been thinking about moving on to the next man straight away – as she always has done before."
Samuel Robertson, who plays Adam, has previously backed his character's possible union with Eva – tipping them as a great new couple for the show.
Speaking in August, he explained: "Cath is great to work with. I've watched the scenes we have done and I think the chemistry is there between them.
"Adam has spent the first nine months being on the periphery of other people's relationships and having nothing of his own, but that is like real life. As an outsider, you are circling round trying to find your place."
