I'm watching CS from 1987 and Susan Baldwin has just had an abortion. Didn't an adult child of Mike and Susan turn up later? ( I'm not thinking of the son he had with Flower-Shop-Maggie)

Thanks

Adam. He somehow survived the abortion.

Yep, they retconned and said either that the abortion failed or she changed her mind (can't remember which). Anyway, she decided to keep the baby and brought him up in Scotland. His name is Adam.

He came to live on the Street when Susan was killed in a car crash. Currently he lives in Canada which is where Ken has been all this time looking after him because he was ill...

ken's a gud 'un, isn't he !

Wow! Thanks for clearing that up for me

By the way, I thought Susan was a real cow

Yes, it was a complete retcon. Susan aborted that baby back in 87/88 time and it finished their marriage but in 2001 it turned out she hadn't. Then she got so scared of Mike's reaction that she took the kid (adam) to run away and ended up crashing her car and dying. Then Adam came to live on the Street with first Ken, then Mike then went off with Poeter when he left following the bigamy storyline. He's in Canada now, it's who Ken has left to look after to explain Bill Roache's enforced absence.

Mike's son had a Beefeater's furry helmet as a hairstyle.
He looked a complete berk.

There was also another son who was ploughing Mike's wife, Tina Dingle.

Mike didn't have much luck with sons.
It was his own fault though, he was more interested in buying a packet of his cigars from Alf's shop than inquiring into their well being.
Well that and sniffing around Deirdre.

Get Back To Work...!!!

To be fair to Mike, he thought the first one was his nephew, he was banned from seeing the second and he believed the third had been aborted!

Get Back To Work... I don't pay you for gossiping...

Yes Mr Baldwin, sorry Mr Baldwin. I'll be glad when you've gone and that nice Mrs Conner/Gordon/Barlow/Conner is running things. She doesn'( mind us chatting about her!!!!

Now your learning KitKat... carry on like that and you'll go far at Baldwins Casuals...

Bring back Granada Plus and Classic Corrie

I'll be off that machine and sitting in Emily's chair doing admin before you can Say Sally Webster!

Yes, this is Adam whom Ken has been visiting in Canada; I think he should return with Ken.

I think Iain de Caestecker is a bit busy at the moment, working on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

Mike was a terrible boss.
He forced Emily to work in the very same room that her Ernie had been shot in.
Didn't even clean up the blood.
He didn't care, just so long as he made enough money to keep him in Jags, huge overcoats, cigars, and large scotch's from brassy Bet in the Rovers.

He was a complete and utter tyrant to Ivy, Ida and Vera too.
Always shouting at them and docking their wages for insubordination.
I think he always fancied the idea of a four-way with them to be fair, he was a randy old sod after all.
Vera certainly would have been up for it, she was a real flighty piece back in the day - but Ivy was still mourning her Bert and R Brian, whilst Ida hadn't had sex since 1957 and was scared of 'man bits.'

Mike had no standards whatsoever when it came to skirt you see, he'd plough absolutely anything.
When the fluff was a bit thin on the ground, he'd go sniffing around Bet and take her out in his Jag.
Anyone that would willingly walk into a nice restaurant with that hanging off your arm, her bits barely covered in leopard skin whilst sporting earrings like chandeliers, clearly just didn't care.
He'd have drawn less attention to himself by wooing Lily Savage or Divine.

He always had a strange man-crush on Ken as well.

He left the role years ago the latest reincarnation was Sam Robertson who looked like he had an Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno wig on

Baldwin's Casuals - just reading that makes me nostalgic for some proper 70s denim flares.

He had three sons Danny, Adam and Mark

Was it a retcon or did she just say that she had the abortion? Did we see her go into the clinic? We can't really say its a retcon if she had changed her mind in the end.

There was also another son who was ploughing Mike's wife, Tina Dingle.


Haven't seen anything of her since, the son (Mark?) went off to be a doctor in The Royal and haven't seen much of him since

Yes.

While he wanted a family, he found it difficult to make relationships last and didn't raise any of his three sons; his eldest son Danny was a result of an affair between Mike and his brother Harry's wife Viv, and the secret of his parentage was kept until Harry's death in 2005. Mark Redman, Mike's second son, was born in 1983, after his mother Maggie had left Mike, and he didn't even know of his third son Adam Barlow's existence until 2001 as Adam's mother Susan left Mike in 1987 when he pushed her into getting pregnant even though she wanted a career.

To be fair she'd had a head change by then so it's entirely possible that even she couldn't remember.

The latest actor to play Adam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Robertson
Wooden as hell, although I think his looks have got him other roles
