Coronation Street fans have watched Summer take a huge risk by striking a deal with Carl.
With the show’s long-teased flash-forward murder finally set to unfold, tensions are rising across the cobbles. The five potential victims — Theo, Jodie, Maggie, Carl and Megan — are all at the centre of explosive storylines. But right now, it’s Theo’s downfall that’s driving the drama.
And Summer is no longer willing to sit back and hope justice is served.
Summer’s deal with Carl
After weeks of manipulation, Carl has finally got what he wanted. He’s been pressuring Summer for money in exchange for the truth about Billy’s death. And now she knows exactly what happened, everything has changed.
Viewers are aware that Billy didn’t die as a result of the Corriedale crash. Instead, Theo made a chilling choice in that moment. He left Billy to die, knowing he could expose the abuse Todd had been suffering.
The truth is out. And following the brutal attack on Todd earlier this week, Summer is determined to make sure Theo can never hurt anyone again.
In tonight’s episode (April 17), she turns to Carl with a desperate offer. She will give him £10K to help get Theo sent to prison for good.
Carl wastes no time agreeing, but with everything building towards a major death on the street, it’s a deal that could have serious consequences.
