Coronation Street reveals Daniel's big betrayal in Adam and Alya story

Coronation Street's Barlow men come to blows again next week, after Daniel flirts with Adam's fiancée.

With erratic Daniel spiralling out of control, blaming his nephew for representing Idris Nazir's bid to buy the school land, Adam tries to calm the situation and fight his own corner. But Daniel's having none of it – and another fight breaks out…

"Daniel has a desperate desire to get Adam back for betraying him," explains Rob Mallard, who plays the teacher. "Adam represented Megan and then he clashes with Daniel again over the school. Daniel's actively trying to blow up Adam's life."

As the land sale approaches, Daniel lays into Adam for putting profit before the local children's welfare, and the guilty solicitor briefly has doubts – until Idris reassures him.

Daniel is stunned when the smarmy investor reveals that he's one of the potential buyers, and hopes the survey will scupper the deal. But Idris's confidence rubs Daniel up the wrong way.

"Daniel feels like a fool, and he feels insignificant," reckons Rob. "He's desperate to do something positive to move on from a terrible year.

"He's not suddenly turned into a passionate environmentalist – it's become a personal benchmark to prove his worth. And then Adam goes and messes it all up."

In a nasty attempt to get back at Adam for representing the enemy, Daniel drunkenly tries it on with Alya Nazir, calling her gorgeous and claiming her new fiancé doesn't deserve her! But how will she react to Daniel coming onto her?

"It's pain that makes Daniel cross a line," reveals the actor. "Ultimately, deep down, Adam and Daniel are loyal to each other. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it sets off a prolonged chain of tit-for-tat retaliation that ends up escalating into something bigger…"

Soon the war between the Barlows spills over into another fight when the land sale goes through, and Daniel accuses Adam of knowing all along about Idris's plans for the land. The solicitor strongly denies Daniel's accusations, claiming slippery Idris duped him too.

However, it's clear Daniel doesn't believe him and the fists fly! Will they be able to resolve their differences? Or will this setback send Daniel on a destructive, dark path?

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
