Coronation Street viewers were startled to see a "missing" character finally make a reappearance.
Summer Spellman fled the cobbles a few weeks ago, after news of her pregnancy came to light and people's reactions were less than positive. The troubled teenager planned to become a surrogate for a pair of newcomers to the show but was quickly turned off the idea after it was proposed she'd be seen as a "money-grabbing con artist."
Caught between a rock and a hard place on what to do, she fled, leaving only a note in her place. In tonight's episode, Summer returned to the street but only briefly to apologise for her exit and to offer a quick explanation of what she's been doing.
