Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod recently shared the longer-term plans for Harvey's return storyline, teasing that Adam will also be paying him a visit before long.
MacLeod told Digital Spy and other press: "As Damon's calming down, Adam's going in the other direction and he plans to rid himself of Damon.
"We'll see him pay a little visit to Damon's half-brother Harvey, because he's no fan of Damon's either. They might form an unholy alliance. They have a shared problem in the form of Damon and think they can help each other in that regard."
Coronation Street airs Harvey's return scene on Tuesday, January 2 at 8pm on ITV1.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
