OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Robertson feels his storylines are repetitive on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 36-year-old actor – who has played Adam Barlow on-and-off since 2004 – is “troubled” by the ITV soap making his character cheat on his wife Sarah Platt [Tina O’Brien] again.
He told The Mirror: “Sometimes you pick up a script and I feel like I’m doing the same scene as I did 12 months ago.
“At first, I was a bit troubled by it because we did a storyline when Adam had a fling with Carla [Connor, Alison King]. I don’t know if it’s too soon for more of that?”
Sam admits it’s “tough” to be fighting with his on-screen wife again.
He said: “Tina and I have gone from working together and a lot of harmony to suddenly being at each other’s throats. So it’s been really tough to do that again so soon.”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ contestant has urged for the show to “recalibrate” what Adam stands for as a person.
He continued: “Sometimes it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it has been five and half months that we’ve been in this storyline.
“I definitely feel like it needs to recalibrate. Who is this character I’m playing now? With the confusion Adam is feeling, I’m kind of feeling that myself as an actor.”
The former ‘Beaver Falls’ star admitted “sometimes familiarity breeds contempt”.
He added: “It has been something different – sometimes familiarity breeds contempt” as he seemed to hint his desire to move on from the cobbles.
“As an actor, you are used to working on different characters. I’m at a stage now where I’ve not played another character for like over six years. So it’s like ‘wow, it’s mad.'”
Sam – who is taking a break from the ITV soap – claims “the job takes over your life”.
He concluded: “I was coming home at night to a hotel room on my own. Sometimes you feel like you’re stuck in a bit of a rut. The job takes over your life.”
