Coronation Street veteran Tina O'Brien has made some grave predictions for what lies ahead for her character Sarah Barlow.

The Coronation Street star thinks that she and her daughter Bethany are being targetted as a result of her (currently very messy) relationship with ex Adam Barlow. 

Sarah is currently loved up with Damon Hay after their affair ended her marriage to husband Adam. In a recent episode, the pair were all set to sign their divorce papers when Adam had a sudden change of heart, telling Sarah he still loves her. 

Shortly after the exchange, a car came flying towards Sarah and her daughter Bethany - and actress Tina O'Brien has a theory to share on the events. 

"Absolutely she should be scared," Tina told the Manchester Evening News. "She’s got her back to the car so she doesn’t see it coming but it’s flying towards her. As a viewer, knowing what Adam’s got himself involved in, you know this driver is coming right for her." 

Then, speaking about what Sarah should do about Adam, the actress said, "It’s a really mixed bag, a lot of people think Sarah and Adam shouldn’t get back together because of what she did to him, then there’s another group who wants them to get back together.

"Then there’s some others who are saying ooh stick with Damon and others just saying she is mental haha. It’s interesting how it’s divided opinion, usually it’s quite clear cut but this is a real mixed bag."
