Implicated for murder with an incriminating journal and caught about to go on the run from Coronation Street. The forecast for Summer (Harriet Bibby) is not looking too bright…

All of the suspects in the line up for the murder of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) he subjected partner Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) to behind closed doors for the best part of a year.

Summer Spellman is no exception, but she’s got another significant axe to grind against the bully – Theo left her adoptive dad Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) to perish in the Corriedale crash.

So determined was Summer to get justice, she was even willing to hand over Billy’s significant life insurance payout to the conniving Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) just to provoke the monster into a confession.

Sadly, that plan went pear-shaped. All it ultimately achieved was causing Theo to confront Summer and taunt her with how a frightened, gravely injured Billy prayed to God for life with his dying breath.

If hatred itself isn’t Summer’s primary motivation, then it could be self-defence. On the night of Theo’s murder, she was searching the flat when Theo came out of the darkness and advanced on her menacingly.

Cut to Theo dead on the Cobbles… which means Summer was the last person to see him before he was killed.

This already makes Summer look pretty guilty. So when she tells Todd that she’s been offered a placement studying at a university in America, what would usually seem like good news looks an awful lot like running from the law.

While DS Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) seems focused on Gary Windass (Mikey North) as his prime suspect, upcoming scenes of Coronation Street will see the spotlight of suspicion fall squarely on Summer thanks to a literal smoking gun.

When Kit reassures Todd they’re closing in on Theo’s killer, his words make Summer shift uncomfortably.

Meanwhile, George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) is doing some tidying up when he accidentally knocks over Summer’s bag and is horrified to see a page from her journal that describes putting a gun to Theo’s head.

As George and and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) read through the passage after hate-filled passage about Theo,they’re startled by Summer’s sudden return. Busted!
