But Christmas will spell nothing but trouble for Coronation Street's Adam Barlow as the embattled character attempts to take his own life in dark, upcoming scenes.

It seems the festive period will tip the solicitor over the edge after he learns that vicar Billy Mayhew was behind the car crash that killed his mother Susan and put him in hospital.
