HARVEY Gaskell and Adam Barlow sank to a new low in Coronation Street over Natasha's murder.
Fans of the long-running ITV soap will know that the mother was murdered by Harvey in 2021.
The criminal shot the former lover of Nick Tilsley leaving her son Sam without a mother.
Harvey was convicted of her killing and is currently serving time behind bars.
However, Adam agreed to help try and free the gangster during tonight's Corrie episode - by getting an innocent man to confess.
In the new twist, the legal hunk suggested that they find someone to admit to killing Natasha.

Harvey sent Adam in search of a man called John Perry, who would take the rap for the crime.
However, he was stunned to discover John had just two years at most to live as he battles cancer.
"I'm dying, the chemo is just prolonging the agony," John said from hospital.
