Fans of Coronation Street were overjoyed to see one character show off an all-new look in Friday night’s episode of the soap. This came during the climax of Stephen Reid’s murderous campaign of terror upon the cobbles.
As the storyline came to an end, most were thrilled by Stephen’s bloody exit – being run over by Peter Barlow – but others were left distracted by one character’s sudden makeover.
Adam Barlow unveils new look as Stephen exits the cobbles
Having learned that Jenny Connor had thwarted his escape to Thailand – by stealing his passport – Stephen returned to Weatherfield. He trapped Jenny and neice Sarah Platt in the Rovers, knocking the latter unconscious with a bottle.
Outside, Sarah’s friends and family fretted over her whereabouts. In the search for Sarah, now-ex-husband Adam Barlow discovered that Stephen was holed up inside the Rovers with his hostages.
Stephen’s story came to an abrupt end as he threatened Jenny otuside with a broken bottle – before being mowed down by a furious Peter Barlow.
But it was Adam that some fans were more interested in, with the character showing off a sharp new lo0k in the episode. The character, known recently for his greasy, slicked back hair, debuted a buzz-cut back and sides, with it worn spiky on top.
