And will Adam be able to prove the truth that Lydia is lying?In a cobbles confrontation following the shock lies, fans were quick to point out that Adam should have recorded his argument with Lydia to prove his innocence.Lydia could be heard saying to Adam: "You messed up my life, you dismantled me bit by bit."Tell you what I’m going to do, Adam, I’m going to dismantle your life like you dismantled mine.
