Coronation Street fans are convinced Lydia is the soap’s answer to Meena Jutla.
Recently viewers were introduced to Lydia, a woman Sarah befriended through work.
However Sarah was shocked when she learnt Lydia had a relationship with her husband Adam back in university.
Soon Lydia began a relationship with Adam’s uncle, Daniel but in last night’s episode (Thursday, February 3) Daniel broke up with Lydia as he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend Daisy.
Lydia went to the pub to get drunk and she ran into Adam. Devastated, Lydia blamed Adam for Daniel dumping her.
However fans are predicting Lydia could be dangerous and is Corrie’s answer to Meena Jutla.

What is happening with Lydia, Adam and Sarah?
In a recent interview, Iain MacLeod talked about Lydia’s storyline, actress Rebecca Ryan and what was to come this year.
Speaking to Entertainment Daily and other media he said: “I hope loads of excitement. Rebecca’s fantastically good and as soon as we saw her audition for this part we were like ‘yep where do we sign’ she’s just so good.
He continued: “What we wanted to do with this story was kind of a updated version of a 90s thriller – like fatal attraction. Looking back on them now they look horribly dated in gender politics.”

“So we sort of thought what might a story of that type look like in the 21st century.
“I hope we’ve crafted it. I think what we’ve got is a really nuance story where everybody is capable of behaving badly, there is no vilification of the scorned woman or anything like that.
“But the bottom line is Lydia will come to be quite a threat to Sarah and Adam’s marriage; a catalyst for Sarah and Adam to risk destroying their own relationship.”
