  "textContent": "There’s a storm on the horizon for Summer (Picture: ITV)\n\nImplicated in a murder on Coronation Street, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) is not feeling very sunny, and there’s a storm about to break…\n\nThe troubled youngster’s problems began when she became Prime Suspect in the murder of Theo Silverton. A murder that she had every reason to commit, given how the monster left her adoptive stepdad to die and terrorised one of her closest friends Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) behind closed doors.\n\nIt didn’t help that the word on the Cobbles was that she was the last person to see Theo alive, after the abuser cornered her in the flat and threatened her life with the chilling line ‘I guess Summer had to end some time.’\n\nOf course, Summer was completely innocent. We all know who the real killer was... but unfortunately, Summer does not.\n\nThe police had plenty of evidence against Summer, including her incriminating diary containing fantasies about holding a gun to Theo’s head. When she was arrested and hauled in for questioning, Summer informed DS Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) that Theo had been alive when she’d left his flat after their confrontation.\n\nLisa put Summer under scrutiny. (Picture: ITV)\n\nBut her fate was sealed by Tyrone Dobbs’ (Alan Halsall), who refused to vouch for her whereabouts that night at risk of incriminating himself in causing Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) accident at the garage.\n\nIn case Summer needed to look any more guilty, she was planning on running off to America to study, which looks an awful lot like trying to escape justice.\n\nWith her situation looking hopeless, Summer took drastic action to escape prison and turned off her insulin pump. This was essentially an act of attempted suicide, resulting in the poor girl being rushed to hospital where she admitted to her loved ones Todd, Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) the tragic reason why she did it – becauseshe didn’t think she would survive prison.\n\nSummer gave up all hope. (Picture: ITV)\n\nThe ordeal has even cost Summer her belief in God, after losing all three father figures in her life – Billy Mayhew, Paul Foreman and her biological dad – she tearfully expressed to Todd, that she didn’t believe He was there for her in prison, and was starting to lose faith that He was anywhere at all.\n\nBut then a miracle occured.\n\nAfter Tyrone guilty explained everything to Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine), Tyrone made the decision to come forward with the truth, thereby ensuring Summer’s release from prison.\n\nHowever, Summer is still looking pretty bleak. Her experiences have taken their toll once the once sunny Corrie resident, and upcoming scenes will see her newfound personality change put her in jeopardy…\n\n##  Don't miss a Soaps scoop!
