Coronation Street spoilers next week see a surprise exit which leaves one character devastated.
Soap fans will recall that earlier this year, Summer Spellman departed the cobbles after being encouraged by Paul Foreman to see the world and she signed up for a special new course in Boston. She had initially said she didn’t want to go because of Paul’s motor neurone disease diagnosis but he told her she shouldn’t put her life on hold and she headed off in a taxi back in March.
In upcoming scenes this week, Summer returns from America with a new look and a new man as she drops a bombshell on her family, revealing she’s got a new boyfriend Felix and he’s waiting to meet them in the Rovers. And next week teases heartbreak for Summer when her new boyfriend, Felix, appears to exit the cobbles. In spoilers for next week, Summer and Felix call at the flat in time to hear Paul Foreman playing a derogatory message about Felix on his Eyegaze.
An awkward Billy and Todd desperately look for the mute button but it’s too late as Felix heads out and Summer’s mortified. Later in the week, it appears Felix leaves the cobbles as Summer drops him off at the airport, where she tells Paul that she was very upset to see him go.

Summer has been on the soap for seven years, when she arrived as the daughter of Drew Spellman, an old friend of Billy. When Drew died, Summer moved in with Billy and has lived there ever since, and now has two more dads in Paul and Todd. The character was initially played by Matilda Freeman between 2017 and 2020, with Harriet Bibby having taken over the role for the last four years.
With Summer, played by Harriet, now back this week, one character who will sadly make a permanent exit from the ITV soap is Paul star Peter Ash, with it believed that Paul could die this year in sad scenes after getting his MND diagnosis following an accident last year.
Speaking about his exit last year, he told the Mirror and other press: “I was called into the producer’s office late last year, and he said we’ve got this very big storyline for you, which will be a great thing to do, but it will mean an eventual exit. I had mixed feelings obviously. I’ll be sad to leave the show. It’s an amazing job, I’ve met fantastic people. I’ll be sad to leave but at the same time, I’m quite happy to be involved in such a powerful storyline which will hopefully bring awareness to it. It’s a double edged sword.”
