Coronation Street Twitter has tweeted that Sam Robertson will return as Adam Barlow and Rob Mallard has been cast as youngest son of Ken Barlow - Daniel. Both arrive in November.

I'm so glad they decided to cast Sam back in the role. They clearly auditioned for the part but he has improved tremendously over the years so I'm happy to see he won back his part.

Good to see a different take on Daniel too. The last thing we needed was another Barlow in the same mould. I'm excited to see all three Barlow boys back.

Reading between the lines I wonder if 'sensitive' Daniel is going to be gay?

So pee'd they didn't recast Adam, Sam Robertson was terrible in his last stint in Corrie imo.

Haven't seen Rob Mallard in anything so I'll reserve my judgement.

Am glad they are bringing the Barlow's back to the forefront as they have looked a little depleted in recent years but am slightly worried they are going to go overkill (like the Platts!) with bringing both Adam and Daniel back.

I'm more intrigued in Daniel tbh, it will be interesting to see what their relationship is like with Ken as he's an adult now and that they've had next to no contact in almost a decade after I think Daniel rejected Ken the last time Ken tried to make amends for being a terrible father.

As for Adam he was never the most interesting characters, I'm not sure what storyline scope there is for him especially as the Baldwin's are long gone, I s'pose he still has some history with Leanne (I think it was her that conned Danny into giving Adam his share of the will?) and possibly Tracy. I never really liked him even when feuding over Mike's will, he always did the 'poor me' act which really annoyed me, admittedly it was years ago so he could have changed.

So Adam will still be Scottish and not inexplicably lose the accent like Peter and Susan.

Me too. The more of them there are, the more likely it is that the producers will be willing to kill one of them off *cough*tracybarlow*cough*

Rob Mallard played Connor in Emmerdale last year, the guy who ripped off Lawrence and was an ex of Robert.

Sam Robertson was wooden in Corrie last time, maybe he has improved.

I'm really glad they've got Sam back. He impressed me in Beaver Falls (E4 show a few years ago)

Here's a clip:

Rob Mallard is quite good if it's the one we're thinking about:

He looks like this:

Glad Sam Robertson is back

I think this rebirth of the Barlows will be the first real test of Kate Oates' capabilities on Coronation Street.

Sam Robertson, bloody hell. He was dreadful first time around.........let's hope he's improved.

Daniel will bonk Todd or the vicar.

Just as long as they aren't all going to be residing at No.1, 6 people would be pushing it. Maybe Daniel can lodge with Norris, it would be fitting seeing as his father resided there in the first episode.

Oh yeah, and if there is anything more to them than just wanting to sleep around. Not holding out for much on that front.

All I know about Sam is that he was ridiculously boring on Big Brother.

Got to say judging on last stint I was hoping for a recast Adam.

I just remembered that Adam is Mike's son, so we've finally got a Baldwin back on the street

I'm hoping there's more interactions with Sarah and Adam when he returns:

I'm glad the Barlows are being rebuilt but I'm getting Barton Mark 2 vibes. Daniel will be Finn, Adam will be Ross and Peter will be Pete. How long before Peter and Adam are fighting over Maria? Denise Black will be back for Ken. I'm interested to see how Tracy fits into this dynamic.

I'd also prefer if Simon was recast and got the coming out story. Daniel being gay wouldn't have the same impact. It's probably for the best that Adam remains played by Sam. At least he has the history and his acting can only have improved.

Off topic but I hate the current producer promotion at the ITV soaps. Blackburn and Oates have exhausted their ideas at Emmerdale and it looks like Oates will also regurgitate her work at Corrie. It's no wonder Corrie is floundering.

I think Craig will be the next gay in Corrie.

“I am excited about the dynamics of having the different generations living together and exploring the drama that will bring."

That's what Kate Oates said. Looks like it'll be a tight squeeze!

That would be a great silver lining!

Adam will probably end up shagging either Eva or Dreary Maria.

Peter might reunite with Leanne, yet again.

As for Daniel? If he is gay, Todd. Unless the writers show some imagination and a new character hooks up with him.
