Adam Barlow Baldwin (Sam Robertson)

[tammyy2j]

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.’

Seems to be up his own ****!

I suppose the end comments are questionable but he has admitted his acting was poor before and he did not have a clue. Not many actors do that

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.”
