Coronation Street fans spot key detail which ‘unveils’ father of Sarah’s baby

Sarah Barlow (played by Tina O’Brien) recently revealed her pregnancy after her affair with Damon Hay (Ciarán Griffiths) was exposed. However, the truth couldn’t stay hidden for long, and the explosive revelation had viewers gripped. In a shocking turn of events, Sarah decided to confide in her husband, Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), about her pregnancy. But instead of receiving the support she desperately needed, Sarah was met with suspicion. Adam, a solicitor by profession, couldn’t help but question whether he was the father or if Damon had a role to play. The tension between the couple had been building up for some time. Sarah had attempted to discuss the possibility of a paternity test with Adam, but he adamantly refused to entertain the idea. Little did they know that their lives were about to take an unexpected turn.

Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown), a fellow solicitor, rushed to his aid, offering hope amid the chaos. It was during this vulnerable moment that Adam revealed his deepest fear – the possibility of not being the father of Sarah’s baby. Sarah tried to reassure Adam he had nothing to worry about. However, a miscommunication occurred, leading Adam to believe Sarah had received the paternity test results confirming he was indeed the father. This misunderstanding only added fuel to the fire of uncertainty. But the truth couldn’t be concealed forever. In the latest episode, Sarah stumbled upon the shocking revelation about the paternity of her unborn child. As fate would have it, a chance encounter with her uncle, Stephen Reid (Todd Boyce), led her to discover the test results. As Stephen’s belongings were thrown out on the street, Sarah was taken aback when she spotted the letter among the scattered items. Stephen encouraged Sarah to look at the results (Image: ITV) In a moment of anger and disbelief, Sarah had torn up the test results and disposed of them in the bin. So, when she stumbled upon the letter in Stephen’s possession, her world came crashing down. Meanwhile, Adam’s struggle with panic attacks continued to plague him. Seeking solace, he found himself in the company of Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), who encouraged him to open up about his innermost fears. It was a pivotal moment for Adam, as he grappled with the uncertainty surrounding his role as the baby’s father. As Sarah battled with her emotions, Stephen attempted to make amends and offer his support. Sarah remained hesitant to open the letter, but with Stephen’s persuasion, she mustered up the courage to face the truth head-on. As she unfolded the letter and read its contents tears streamed down her face. Coronation Street fans took to social media to express their thoughts and theories about the paternity reveal. Many speculated Damon was indeed the father, based on Sarah’s emotional reaction. Twitter user @soaps_extra tweeted: “It’s Damon’s baby, I’m guessing #Corrie.” The sentiment was echoed by @Emily_East92, who posted: “Oh no, it’s Damon’s, isn’t it? #corrie.” However, some viewers couldn’t help but question the logistics of how Stephen obtained the letter. @alfsadvntrs tweeted: “I did not have Stephen taking Sarah’s paternity letter out of the trash on my #Corrie bingo card. Doing family like that.” The intricacies of the situation sparked curiosity, with @x.simplytt.x commenting: “I’m sure when Sarah put her letter in the bin, she ripped it up first, and now Stephen got the whole letter out of the bin? I don’t get it lol.” Amid the confusion, some eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the letter was indeed torn. @jussy0111 tweeted: “It was ripped. She had to piece it back together to read it.” User @lesleycampbell463 agreed tweeting: “When he gave Sarah the letter tonight, it was ripped in half, I think.” Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 or on catch up at ITVX.
