Viewers were left besotted by the pair's arrival and speedily took to the social media site to post messages filled with love and Emoji heart icons.
While Daniel (Rob Mallard) headed straight to granddad Ken's hospital bed to support him after his stroke , cheeky Adam (Samuel Robertson) burst into the underwear factory once owned by his pa Mike Barlow before flirting up a storm with Eva.
Yet Corrie addicts seemed well and truly distracted from the reunion plotline by their appearance, with one posting: "Woooooaaaaahhhh hold on who ordered 2 helpings of in ," and another surmising: "Coronation Street has just got a whooooole lot better."
Adam, the son of Ken's late daughter Susan and his arch-rival Mike, stole a huge chunk of Twitter affection.
One fan bluntly wrote: "Adam Barlow is back and hunkier than ever," while a cheeky female fan quipped: " Barlow..... how YOU doin. Ooooft."
One besotted telly fan joked: "Phwoar Adam Barlow! I wouldn't kick him out of my bed for snoring!," while one posted an Emoji icon of prayer hands and wrote: "Praise sweet Jesus that Adam Barlow is back on."
A fan took to the caps locks key to write: "Omg adam Barlow FIIIITT I had forgotten what a beaut of a man," while one went as far as to issue a rating and wrote: "Giving Adam Barlow a strong 10/10 the big hunk."
Another added: "The return of Adam Barlow certainly brightened up my evening!"

Meanwhile Daniel, whose educated character closely resembles that of Ken, took a smaller share of the social media spotlight.
He was overshadowed by Adam yet fans still gave him the thumbs-up.
One wrote: Loving the new Barlow #danielbarlow with an Emoji with heart eyes while another added: "I'm loving Daniel already, I'm so excited to see more of the Barlow's. Say hi to your lovely nan. Lots of love to you Rob. x"
During tonight's action-packed show fans were treated to a full-scale Barlow reunion with Daniel joining Tracy and Peter in Wetherfield.
Strutting into Underworld, Adam made himself at home, finding the whisky almost immediately and helping himself to a drink.
But after being kicked out, he headed over to the Barlow's house and ran into his aunt and uncle before going to the hospital, where even with Adam, Ken wouldn't see them.
Despite being ordered to stay out by hospital staff, Tracy saw a chance to barge in and went off on one, convinced Daniel was from a cult and trying to take Ken's money.
"What do you think you're doing?" she thundered, confronting quiet and meek Daniel at Ken's bedside.
"You should be ashamed of yourself preying on an old man like this," she said before turning to Peter.
"Look at him, he's obviously from a cult."
Attempting to kick him out of the hospital room, Peter told him: "Thanks for all your help, OK, but we're his family."
But in the soap comeback of the century, Daniel replied: "So am I. I'm Daniel, I'm Ken's son."
