Nine years after first arriving on the cobbles, Summer Spellman could now be heading toward a devastating end on Coronation Street. Recent scenes have sparked serious concern among viewers, with many now convinced the show is quietly setting up a tragic exit for Summer and it may already be sealed thanks to the escalating danger surrounding Theo Silverton.
Theo’s Control Over Todd Has Crossed Every Line
Over the past few months, viewers have watched Theo manipulate and abuse Todd in increasingly disturbing ways. What began as psychological control soon turned physical. Theo forced Todd to eat a kebab against his will, later smashing his face into a mirror during a violent outburst that shocked viewers.
The abuse escalated even further when Theo drove Todd miles away from home and abandoned him in freezing temperatures without a jacket. Despite all this, Theo demanded Todd prove his love publicly. Todd proposed, Theo accepted, and the engagement masked the terrifying reality playing out behind closed doors.
Summer Gets Drawn In And The Danger Escalates
Todd’s family and friends celebrated the engagement, including his stepdaughter Summer Spellman, who was genuinely thrilled for him. Billy Mayhew, however, wasn’t convinced and quickly grew suspicious of Theo’s behaviour. In Thursday’s episode on January 1, Billy and Summer visited Todd and Theo’s flat to discuss wedding plans.
Summer sweetly offered to be Theo’s bridesmaid, but the mood shifted when she accidentally spilled tea on the carpet. Todd’s reaction was immediate panic as he rushed Billy and Summer out of the flat. Once they were gone, Theo forced Todd to clean the mess before launching a brutal attack. He beat Todd while he lay on the floor, furious over the embarrassment caused by Summer’s comment. The violence felt more extreme than ever, leaving viewers deeply unsettled.
Fans Fear Summer’s Death Could Be Next
With Billy’s exit believed to be airing in the coming weeks, many viewers initially suspected Theo might be responsible for his death. However, attention has now turned toward Summer, with fans fearing she could be the one to pay the ultimate price. On a Coronation Street Facebook fan page, one viewer suggested Summer could get caught in the middle of a confrontation between Theo and Todd, with Theo accidentally killing her.
Another agreed the theory felt plausible, while others admitted they believed something would happen to Summer as well as Billy. One heartbroken fan summed up the mood by saying it would be incredibly sad to lose Summer.
As Theo’s behaviour continues to spiral, the threat feels very real. Summer’s involvement is no longer harmless, and many viewers now fear her fate may already be sealed. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
