Summer Spellman quits Weatherfield next week and Coronation Street residents Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman are left emotional as they bid farewell as she starts her new life in Boston
Summer Spellman leaves Coronation Street next week.
She books her flight to Boston in upcoming scenes of the ITV soap and Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) agrees to cook a roast dinner by way of celebration while Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) takes Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) to his appointment with the speech therapist.
The therapist confirms that Paul’s speech and ability to eat solid food have deteriorated and suggests that it might be time to use a feeding tube. Paul and Bernie return home and break the news that he can no longer eat solid food for fear of choking.
Paul assures Billy and Summer if they liquidise his food, he’ll be fine. Billy, Summer, Bernie and Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) tuck into their roast dinner while Paul sets about his bowl of puréed food. As they clear away the plates, Paul fights back the tears. Later in the week, Billy, Paul and Todd bid an emotional farewell to Summer as she sets off for Boston.
Elsehwere in Weatherfield, With Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) heading off to a posh dinner with Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) going away with Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott), a glammed up Glenda Shuttleworth (Jorgie Prenger) agrees to host the speed dating night at the Rovers. The night is lacking in romance aside from Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) taking a shine to guy with a tattoo.
With the chaos of the evening over and the pub closed, Glenda heads through to the bar to find masked burglars raiding the till. One of the men orders Glenda to get down on the floor. Terrified, Glenda does as she’s told. As the robbers make off with the takings, a tearful and panicky Glenda calls the police. Jenny returns home to find out from Glenda that they’ve been burgled.
Glenda puts on a brave face, but Jenny insists she takes the morning off. Paul and Billy call at the Rovers to retrieve Paul’s laptop and they’re gutted to find out it was stolen by the burglars. Glenda feels terrible. With the pub closed, Glenda offers Jenny and Daisy a nightcap, but as she heads through to the bar, she relives the awful events of the night before and it’s clear they’re taking their toll.
