Coronation Street's boss has confirmed fans' fears as Summer Spellman will find herself in "mortal danger".
The character, played by Harriet Bibby, has endured a turbulent time in Weatherfield after she agreed to be surrogate parent for Mike and Esther. She has since suffered a miscarriage, but has lied to Mike and Esther until they give her the agreed sum of money as she wants to pay for her boyfriend's dad to go to rehab.
Fans have expressed concern throughout the plot as they are convinced Mike and Esther's true motives are something more sinister. Corrie producer, Iain MacLeod, told the ECHO and other press that the plot is "gonna end badly" for all the characters involved.
