Corrie is no stranger to airing a shock affair storyline – and for one resident on the famous cobbles they could be set to strike up a saucy fling with a taken man in a big twist
It wouldn’t be the first time that a Coronation Street beauty was the target of a surprise engagement on the street.
Since 1999, Tina O’Brien has portrayed Sarah Barlow, an ITV soap opera regular. Sarah, who is Helen Worth’s daughter Gail Platt, has been a part of multiple major plots.
Her tenure on the cobbles has not been lacking on drama, ranging from her shocking teenage pregnancy to her numerous romantic misadventures. It’s also true that the actress’s portrayal of Sarah and her fan base have grown with time.
Fans have been gushing about Sarah on a Reddit thread where they are talking about their favorite Corrie characters. “She will always be in the top 10 best characters,” a commenter stated. “Sarah is the sexiest woman on there,” exclaimed another. A third, however, once wrote: “Sarah has to be mine.” I used to really fancy her.
However, Sarah had a very eventful year on the soap opera lately, particularly in terms of her romantic life. Fans will remember that she had an affair with Cobbles bad boy Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) the previous year.
For several months, the couple was able to conceal their passionate relationship from inquisitive eyes. However, it didn’t take long for her spouse, Sam Robertson’s Adam Barlow, to learn about their relationship.
Adam eventually ran Damon out of town but 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.
However, after Damon got himself back involved in brother Harvey’s criminal activities, he ended up getting arrested and sent to prison. Sarah has since been left totally heartbroken.
But it seems she could be set to move on to someone new – and he’s married. It’s been claimed that Sarah, who has had her fair share of affairs on the cobbles including with Jason Grimshaw, could strike up a fling with Gary Windass.
Fans will remember that the pair were together from 2016 to 2019 and were quite serious too, as they got engaged and moved in together. However, she ended things with Gary before her relationship with Adam. Mean Gary eventually married Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon).
Speaking about Sarah’s relationship with Gary in the past, soap star Tina O’Brien said: “I think that Gary has possibly been the biggest rock in Sarah’s life. He knows her in a way that nobody else does, he knows all her bad bits and he loved her anyway.”
Now, AI reckons an affair could be on the cards for Sarah and Gary as they have a “complex history.” Daily Star has quizzed one of the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Gemini, to see if Sarah and Gary could strike up an affair.
The program responded it is “likely” that the former couple will “rekindle things.” It then explained how Sarah’s “emotional vulnerability” might play into it.
Gemini explained: ”Sarah is likely feeling lonely and isolated after Damon’s incarceration. Gary could be there for her during this difficult time, which could lead to emotional intimacy.”
The system then pointed out another reason that Sarah and Gary could end up bonking again. It said: ”Sarah and Gary have a complex history. They were once engaged but it fell apart due to Gary’s past mistakes. This creates a foundation of deep emotions and unresolved feelings and could see them fall back into old patterns.”
