Rebecca Ryan, who plays Lydia Chambers, joined the cast of the longest-running soap last December 2021. Lydia made a great impression in her debut, especially when she became friends with Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien). However, the moment she knew about her new friend’s husband, Adam Barlow, she decided to give chaos to the couple’s marriage.
Sarah kicked out her husband from their flat when Lydia convinced her that she was having an affair with Adam. After bearing all of their relationship issues, Adam decided to face the troubles and defend himself against Lydia’s accusations.
Now that her storyline with Adam Barlow is about to end, Digital Spy confirmed that more dramas will be revealed in the upcoming weeks as Ryan already filmed some of her last scenes early last month.
