Coronation Street fans couldn't hide their disgust as Summer Spellman was faced with a life-changing proposition in Monday night's episode (Monday October 24). Last week it was revealed over an eventful pub lunch at the Rovers that the 18-year-old was pregnant with boyfriend Aaron Sandford's baby.
Her guardian archdeacon Billy Mayhew was shocked to realise that she was expecting as he saw she was off her food. But then she was presented with an unexpected offer from Billy's parishioner Esther Hargrave who was at lunch with them. Esther caught up with Summer in Victoria Gardens and after explaining how she and Mike can’t have kids, she suggested she’d be willing to adopt her baby.
In the latest Corrie double bill, Esther was gutted to learn that Summer had planned to have an abortion and offered her money in a bid to change her mind. "With that money you could have real security," she said.
