Coronation Street fans are certain they've spotted a dark secret that lawyer Adam Barlow is hiding amid the ongoing Lydia Chambers plot.The solicitor's life has been slowly broken apart by his university fling Lydia - who he claims not to remember at all - with Lydia destroying his marriage to Sarah and attempting to ruin his business.Along with Adam's car windscreen being smashed in, the solicitors' office was hit by armed police after reports of a gun on the premises erupted.And though Lydia claims it's to get back at him for forgetting her among the legions of women he's slept with, some fans are sure there's a darker force at work - and that Adam might actually have assaulted her in their younger days.He went as far as to scream at Lydia in the street after she told Sarah of their made-up 'affair'.And taking to Reddit, one eagle-eyed fan wanted to share their theory.They penned: "Is it possible that Adam assaulted Lydia? Either deliberately or maybe they were both drunk or she was drunk and couldn't consent?"They keep making a point that it was in university and historic assault or rape cases that happened during university is relevant to the current day."It would explain why Lydia said that he completely ruined her life.
