Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien has revealed that Sarah Barlow is "devastated" amid her baby storyline after her affair.
In new scenes set to air next week, Sarah discovers that she is pregnant though her recent infidelity comes back to haunt her given the possibility that the father could be her husband Adam, or her lover Damon Hay.
Speaking about how she first gets an inkling she may be pregnant, Tina revealed: "She goes for a drink in the Rovers with Dee Dee, Sarah gets a glass of wine, takes a sip and it tastes absolutely vile, it makes her feel sick, and there;s this point where she's like: 'Oh, my, god', a bomb goes off in her head and she just thinks: 'Surely not'.

"I'm assuming that must have been a symptom she had in previous pregnancies, like I couldn't even be in the same room as someone drinking coffee."
When she goes home and takes a test, which confirms she is indeed pregnant, O'Brien says: "It's just the worst thing in the world ever" for Sarah.
"Obviously because she knows it's a 50/50 situation and she has no idea whose the baby is," Tina elaborated. "It's more likely to be Adam's as they've slept together more but she knows one of the times with Damon she didn't use protection.
"She realises at this point that she's pretty much blown up her entire life, it's her worst nightmare."

Sarah had been hoping to try again with Adam, though Tina explained of her current mindset: "It's the worst thing, with the worst possible timing. I think if she was honest with herself, I don't think she really wanted a baby, I think she felt guilty about what she'd done with Damon and she knew how much Adam wanted a baby.
"I think if she'd have been a bit more honest with her feelings she'd have said it wasn't the right time for her, her career is doing really well and actually left to her own devices I don't think she would have had any more children.
"But she was trying to do the right thing for her marriage and her relationship. Now she's taken that and jumped all over because she's got to make the decision to tell Adam the truth of the situation and she doesn't know what he's going to do or how that is going to play out."

Elaborating on her mindset when she hands Adam the pregnancy test, the star admitted: "She doesn't know, I think she realizes that this could be the end for them really."
To try and determine who the father is, Sarah goes for a DNA test, though Tina said that at this point "she's just devastated and ashamed".
"I think she's got huge regret for all the things she's done and she's just hoping and praying to get the answers that she wants," she added.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
