Adam White

Adam first appears when he is in a group of men who give Carl 's former prison cellmate  Derek Branning    a beating after running his car off the road and chasing him.   In February 2013, Kirsty 's husband  Max Branning    goes to Adam's house to find Kirsty. Kirsty has a bruise on her neck, and realising Adam caused the injury, Max punches him. Adam and another man then beat Max after locking him inside the house.  In May, Adam starts calling Kirsty, as Carl is due to be released from prison. Kirsty worries that they will track her down   so Max returns with his brother  Jack Branning   to confront Adam again. Adam punches Max so Jack throws him to the ground and the brothers order him to stop contacting Kirsty.  In August 2013, Adam attacks Kirsty, asking her for money. Carl stops Adam, who did not know Carl would be there. Carl blames Adam for Kirsty marrying Max and their mother  Nora White   being in a care home, and Adam explains he owes money to somebody. Carl and Adam go to nightclub  R&R, where Carl plans to sell drugs but they are confronted by Max and club owner  Phil Mitchell <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">. Carl then disowns Adam and he leaves.
