She had pushed Adam over a balcony earlier this week, leaving him for dead.

But tonight, Adam covered for Lydia, apologising for what he did, leaving Lydia stunned sitting at his bedside.

Sarah caught Lydia sitting at Adam’s bedside in the hospital – and was horrified.

But she soon got her revenge after following Lydia outside and listening to her confession.

“I’m sorry Sarah,” she said.

“He’s not a bad man, not now, but he was a long time ago. It was me behind the harassment. 

“I faked the affair, the death threat flowers, everything. I copied your keys to break into your flat, smashing my flat up to frame him and planting a burner phone so he’d look guilty. 

“I didn’t have an affair with him. 

“The worst part was lying to you. You’re the best friend I’ve had in a long time. 

“But when I saw who you were with, who you were married to, and I say he hadn’t changed – I wanted to help you before he hurt you too.”

PARTING SHOT

Sarah pretended to need a drink and then called the police before Lydia told her about her abortion and what happened.

As Lydia promised to leave, Sarah dropped the bombshell as the police arrived.

And she took a parting shot at the woman who ruined her life: “If you’re looking for sympathy, you’ll find it in the dictionary between shame and syphilis.”

Sarah then went to speak to Adam and fill him in on what happened – but he was horrified to hear Lydia was in the police station.

Despite his injuries, he left hospital and went to give a statement to the police – lying to ensure Lydia went free. 

Adam ensured she wouldn’t lose her son and the pair called a truce.

With that Lydia left Weatherfield for good – but fans desperately want her back. 

One wrote: “I can’t believe that’s Lydia over and out!”

A second said: #Corrie So… is that it with the Lydia storyline? Well that sucked.”

Another simply asked: “Lydia… that’s it?”
