Exit for Summer as Todd encourages her to get far away from Coronation Street

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) looks set to leave Coronation Street amid the current investigation into Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) murder.

It’s been a tough year for Summer so far, with 2026 getting off to a bad start with the death of her father-figure, Billy Mayhew.

Billy died after being trapped in the burning minibus by Theo during the Corriedale crossover pile-up, unable to escape before the vehicle exploded.

Since then, Summer has leaned on Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) for support, unaware that he also needed help.

Todd was trapped in an abusive relationship with Theo for just over a year, with none of his loved ones realising.

What began as gaslighting and making nasty comments about Todd’s appearance escalated to financial control, physical assault, and sexual abuse.

At that point, Todd’s friends and family were quick to come to his aid – including Summer.

However, in tonight’s episode, she admitted to Todd that she had been offered a place at a university in America.

She insisted that she was going to turn it down, pointing out that it would be unfair to leave Todd with everything going on at the moment.

Todd, however, was adamant that she not waste the opportunity, and urged her to get as far away from Coronation Street as possible, forget about everything that’s happened and never look back.

This seemed to persuade Summer to accept her place, especially when Todd told her that he was excited for her.
