Baby heartache for Coronation Street's Sarah after TERRIFYING hospital dash?
Pregnant Sarah Platt is hit by stomach pains and fears she's about to lose her unborn baby.
Coronation Street’s Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) fears she’s lost her unborn baby after being rushed to hospital with stomach pains.
Sarah discovered she was pregnant following her affair with dodgy Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths) but didn’t know if he, or her husband Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson), was the father of her baby.
Sarah confessed to Adam that she’d cheated on him, leading the scorned solicitor to take revenge on Damon. He told Weatherfield gangster Niall that Damon was planning on grassing him up the police, which put the fear of God in his love rival and resulted in him fleeing the cobbles.
Sarah also arranged a prenatal paternity test, but tore up the unopened results and told Adam that the clinic had called to confirm he was the baby’s dad.
The expectant factory worker also suffered a terrifying scare when she started bleeding and feared she was miscarrying. Thankfully it turned out to be a false alarm, but there could be more heartache ahead for Sarah.
Adam's mental health has been severely impacted since discovering his wife's infidelity. And as he continues to experience panic attacks, guilt-ridden Sarah is desperate to save their marriage.
She calls in to see her husband and insists they need to talk through their issues. But when Adam rails at Sarah over all the lies she’s told, she’s suddenly hit by excruciating stomach pains.
