Coronation Street fans are sure they’re one step closer to solving Lydia Chambers downfall after she was exposed as a villain.
Lydia, played by Rebecca Ryan, has been manipulating the rest of the street into believing Adam Barlow was cheating on his wife Sarah – along with trying to destroy his career as a lawyer.
So far, she has posted bad reviews of the solicitors practice, destroyed Adam’s car and staged an elaborate affair with him – leaving Sarah devastated.
But now fans think they know how Adam will finally bring her down, using a hidden recording device.
Lydia has been staging ‘Bond villain’ rants in the middle of the street – conveniently when everyone else is out of earshot.
But fans think Adam has simply been recording these on his phone and storing them up to give Sarah a fuller picture.
Taking to Reddit, one theorised: “Convenient how nobody else has been around while that crazy broad has been mocking Adam IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.”
Someone else quickly responded: “Stupid how Adam, of all people, doesn’t think to record on his phone.”
“Ugh seriously, 80% of the storylines could be solved by just recording the Bond villain-like conversations that go on in the dark cervices of that cursed street,” another fan said.

They continued: “And then every now and then the writers will put in a scene of somebody actually trying to record it and getting caught out, as if to go AHA! See we did think of that, only it would work every time if they didn’t also have to act as suspiciously as possible whilst trying it…
“And nobody at any point suspects anybody of recording their loud semi-public admissions when they’re not!”
Another fan was quick to point out that Abi’s attempt to convince Corey Brent’s dad Stefan to confess to his son’s crimes while secretly recording him hadn’t gone to plan.

But if Adam were to record, it likely wouldn’t take much to convince Sarah that it’s Lydia – and not Adam – who is lying to her.
And with a string of mounting evidence – including messages sent from Adam’s IP address with Lydia lurking outside on the street – it might take a miracle.
It comes after Rebecca Ryan quit the ITV soap, with producer Iain MacLeod announcing that she will soon be departing the cobbles.
He said: “We’ve got heart-stopping, high-stakes drama for Sarah, featuring a knife-edge showdown between Adam and his tormentor Lydia, which will leave you wondering which one’s the bad guy. All of this in one big serving per night. What’s not to love?”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV.
