“The anxious wait for Coronation Street fans has ended in a surprising and joyous reveal! Sam Robertson, the actor who plays Adam Barlow, a charismatic and central character on the Cobbles, has officially put pen to paper on a new contract, securing his future on screen until November 2026! This is a huge “behind-the-scenes” twist, especially after his recent absence sparked widespread concern among viewers!”
THE MYSTERY SOLVED: ADAM BARLOW’S SHOCKING RETURN AND SECURE FUTURE!
Fans quickly noticed Adam Barlow’s absence from screens since March. Forums and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) were filled with worried questions: “Where’s Adam Barlow May I ask? Last seen onscreen 7th March 2025. Somebody do something,” and “I noticed that, maybe he will be back on screen soon, hopefully he isn’t a character that’s going to get axed x.”
This concern was well-founded, as Adam Barlow is one of Weatherfield’s most prominent solicitors and has been involved in numerous pivotal storylines. However, The Sun has now exclusively revealed, via ITV insiders, that Sam Robertson, 39, has signed a new deal. This agreement ensures Adam’s continued presence on the Cobbles until at least November 2026, bringing immense relief to fans and paving the way for exciting new chapters.
ADAM BARLOW’S INDISPENSABLE ROLE: PAST DRAMAS AND WHAT’S NEXT!
Sam Robertson first appeared as Adam from 2004 to 2007, making a dramatic return in 2016 to care for his grandfather Ken Barlow after his stroke. Since then, Adam has become an indispensable character, serving as the street’s go-to solicitor and consistently finding himself entangled in major dramas: from being a prime suspect in Ken’s attempted murder after he was pushed down the stairs, to his marriage breakdown with Sarah Platt in 2023 following her affair with bad boy Damon Hay. Most recently, the soap began revisiting a romantic spark between him and former employee Alya Nazir.
Sam Robertson’s continued commitment to the show not only reassures fans but also signals that many compelling storylines are in the pipeline. As an intelligent, charming, and consistently central figure in the drama, Adam’s presence guarantees that Weatherfield will continue to deliver gripping legal cases, complex relationships, and unexpected twists.
