Has Sam Robertson Left Coronation Street?

Sam Robertson who played Adam in Coronation Street since 2004, has announced his exit from the ITV soap after almost 20 years.

Sam spoke about the idea of moving on from the role of Adam and what he would like to do in the future.

“There was a lot of trouble with Adam and Sarah’s marriage then and I felt personal that it was too soon after that to do another story where Adam and Sarah are having trouble again.

“I think it’s tough on Tina [Sarah] and I to do a lot of arguments”, he said.

“Tina and I have gone from working together, having fun and having a lot of harmony with the material, and then suddenly we’re at each other’s throats all the time.

“So it’s been really tough to do that again, so soon after 12 months before getting through it. So at first, I was like, ‘Oh God man, this is going be tough’.”

“Walking on set and arguing, even though it’s a fake couple, it’s still a challenging day on set,” the actor continued.

“I won’t lie, it has been tough, we’ve got through it. But I think in the end it’ll be worth it.

If Adam were to leave, it would be an end of an era for the Barlow family as the character is linked to the ruthless businessman, Mike.

Not only was he the heartthrob’s father, but he was also the arch-nemesis of Ken Barlow (William Roache), who is Adam’s grandfather.

The lawyer’s exit would certainly be memorable and the door could be left open for him to return to Weatherfield in the future.
