Coronation Street has confirmed the return of Adam Barlow, played by actor Sam Robertson, after his surprise exit earlier this year.
Fans feared Ken Barlow’s grandson had left for good, after he went off traveling in February after attacking Seb Franklin.
But the ITV soap has confirmed Adam will be back on the Cobbles very soon, in a new backstage photo.
In the snap posted to the Corrie Twitter and Instagram page, it appears to show Adam actor Sam having some fun and games with Ali Neeson actor James Burrows.
Coronation Street teases Norris Cole return – but fans spot sad twist in new photo
This is the first confirmation viewers have had that the character is returning.
Not only that, with filming usually occurring just six weeks ahead of scenes airing, it seems he could be back very soon.
Taking to the post on Instagram, viewers shared their joy over seeing him back again.
One fan said: “Adam Barlow's back yessss.”
Another commented: “Great to see Adam & Norris back.”
A third said: “Adam!! Corrie will soon be worth watching again!”
It comes after another image on the same post revealed Norris Cole would also be back around the same time.
Fans were left a little sad though as the image revealed he was filming his leaving party, confirming his return wouldn’t be permanent.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
