Unknown child in Corrie?
I was just wondering, as I was watching the Tracy Barlow special on ITV2 tonight, who was the child sitting having breakfast with Dierdre and Ken? Can anyone tell me?

No, it was only about 9 months ago when Tracy first slept with Roy. It was a boy, who was sitting eating with them.

That was Adam. Susan Barlow was Ken's daughter (Peter's twin sister), but she is now dead. Adam is also Mike Baldwin's son. He goes to a boarding school in Scotland.

The late Susan was Ken's daughter and Peter's "twin" sister (they've never looked much alike and have both changed actors frequently). However Susan married Mike Baldwin in 1986 and had his son, Adam. Since their marriage split Susan lived back in Glasgow. Adolescent Adam first appeared a couple of years back when Susan got herself killed in a car crash. Normally Mike gets to "keep" him on school holidays. He might turn up next week for half term. G |

Also don't forget because Mike Baldwin married Ken Barlow's daughter Susan, this is why there has always been an element of antagonism between Mike and Ken. They only got onto a civil footing because of the son/grandson (and when Ken "saved" Mike in a supermarket robbery/shooting).

Sorry, further to the above, of course the other reason Mike and Ken don't get on was because of the infamous affair Dreary had with Mike years ago when she was actually married to Ken.

That's a bit mean to Scotland! If Mike gets a bit hurt in the-
Spoiler
When Ken eventally dies, Adam might be the new Barlow on the block, only he'll be twentysomething! If Dirdrie (god how do you spell that name?!) is still alive she'll probably move away and Blanche will almost certainatly be long gone. What am I talking about?! |

That was all a very weird storyline though in that Susan had an abortion after marrying Mike, which is why their marriage broke down. Susan was only 21 or so and felt she was way too young, wanted a career etc, whilst Mike was over the moon at the pregnancy. They didn't seem to have any marrige difficulties before then.
Suddenly, 13 odd years later, when the script writers feel like it, it turns out that Susan disappeared still pregnant and had Adam in secret with no-one knowing at all (apart from brother Peter). She didn't tell her father. How on earth could you keep that secret? Maybe if they totally fell out and didn't want anything to do with each other during that time, but it wasn't like that. Her explanation was she wanted Mike to never find out and have nothing to do with it. Why??? Mike isn't that bad. |
