Heartbreak as Hollywood star exits Coronation Street just weeks after debut
Summer Spellman’s (Harriet Bibby) hopes of a new romance are quickly destroyed in Coronation Street soon as boyfriend Felix heads back to the USA.
Summer has been away from Weatherfield over the past few months getting settled into life at a university in Boston, America.
Shortly after Summer was offered this placement, she felt apprehensive about leaving and wanted to stay and care for Paul (Peter Ash), who has motor neurone disease.
Sitting down for a chat, Paul and Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) told Summer that she should accept the uni placement and live her life, because Paul would be well-looked after by other members of his family while she’s away.
Feeling reassured, Summer waved her goodbyes to the cobbles but now, she’s back home.
In upcoming episodes of the ITV soap, Summer and Felix – who is played by Hollywood star Robin Morrissey – pop by the flat.
However, just as they walk in, they hear Paul playing a derogatory message about Felix on his Eyegaze device.
As Billy and Todd (Gareth Pierce) desperately look for the mute button, Felix heads out and leaves Summer mortified.
Later in the week, Summer tells Paul that Felix has left for America now, and she feels upset he’s no longer around.
But is this really the end of Summer’s relationship with Felix?
Or could he return?
