On August Bank Holiday 2005, Adam bought a car from an auction, but in an embarrassing turn of events, after filling his car up with six gallons of petrol on a day out with his girlfriend
Candice Stowe , his car ignited by the roadside. The cause of the fire was a mystery, until a policewoman told him his car ran ondiesel , not petrol.He worked at his father Mike's factory, Underworld, and annoyed his new found half-brother, Danny, by being the apple of his father's eye. He was dumped by ambitious Candice Stowe via letter, had a short fling with
Kelly Crabtree , and had a small crush on Sarah Platt when he first returned to the Street. Adam began dating shy factory worker Joanne Jackson after they flirted at his birthday party.Following Mike's death, he is determined to bring brother Danny down after he stole his inheritance. Adam is unaware that the will is invalid because Mike's last will, the real one, left everything to him. Only
Leanne Battersby and Danny knew it existed, and were determined that Adam not get his inheritance.However, following a split with Danny, Leanne gave a photocopy of the real will to Adam, and it was then possible he would claim inheritance, and press criminal charges on Danny. After the interrogation of Danny by the police, he decided to offer Adam 40% of the shares in the factory. Acting on Ken's advice Adam accepted.
In September 2006, Adam sold his 40% of Underworld to
Liam Connor . Liam's brother Paul bought the remaining 60% in January 2007.In early February 2007 Joanne Jackson dumped Adam Barlow by text, after not even seeing him for months. Adam has now left Weatherfield to go to Portsmouth with Peter.
