Corrie’s Sarah star ‘really worried’ as she teases ‘chaotic’ romance for character

Coronation Street favourite Tina O’Brien is worried her character Sarah Barlow will follow in her mother’s footsteps of failed relationships.

Over the past year, the mum-of-one has turned her life upside down after she fell into an affair with cobbles bad boy Damon Hay. The pair managed to keep their steamy affair away from prying eyes for a few months, but it didn’t take long before her husband Adam discovered their relationship.

Things took a turn for the worse when Sarah discovered she was pregnant but had no idea who the father was. Determined to get revenge, Adam ruined their gender reveal party by exposing their affair and running Damon out of town.

Just when fans thought Adam and Sarah may rekindle their romance over the festive period, Damon came back with a bang. The TV hunk wasted no time in sparking the fire back in his relationship with Sarah, much to the disappointment of Adam and her family.

Now, the 40-year-old soap star has shared her fear that her character will follow in her mother Gail’s footsteps as her romance with bad boys spirals again. In an interview with Daily Star and other press, the mum-of-one shared her concern for her character.

She told us: “I am really worried. I do truly believe that Damon’s got her best interests at heart, I believe he means what he says to her.

“But unfortunately, with the life he’s led and the people that he knows, the temptation to get involved in something dodgy could be too great.” When she was asked if Sarah could copy her mum’s taste in men, the starlet confessed: “Ooh maybe yes.

“Gail’s had quite a few really dodgy relationships. It started off well with Martin after she lost Brian but then it descended into chaos or murder so maybe Sarah’s picked up on that.

“Apart from Martin growing up, Sarah’s not really had the best male role models in her life and she does seem to know how to pick a wrong ‘un.” When the soap star was asked what she would like to see for her character’s future, Tina admitted she loves playing an unlucky in love Sarah.

She gushed: “I love it, I think it’s a lot more interesting as an actor. Sometimes for my character I do love the idea of her being settled and happy but for me it keeps me much busier and it’s much more fun to play.

“I loved the will they/ won’t they elements of the story with Adam. I think sometimes that’s almost more powerful, two people who should probably be together, but the universe has got in their way and they’ve never been able to resolve that.

“I like that unspoken love, that they might go off in different directions but there’ll always be that pull, kind of like she was for a long time with Gary too.” Fans will have to stay tuned to see if Sarah’s romance with Damon will flourish or whether she will fall back into Adam’s arms again.
