Things became even worse when George Shuttleworth found Summer’s journal. In it, she wrote about how much she disliked Theo. She even admitted that she would quite like to see the back of him. Those entries only added fuel to the growing suspicion surrounding her.
When Summer realised that the police might be closing in on her, she even thought about leaving Weatherfield. Speaking previously about Summer’s state of mind, it was explained: “There are a number of things that’s stacking up against Summer”.
