Going to have a miscarriage..

Coronation Street teen Summer Spellman receives a shock later this month as show newcomers Mike and Esther Hargrave try to strike a second deal with her.

Summer recently deceived the couple by keeping quiet about how she'd tragically suffered a miscarriage ? not wanting to return the latest ?10,000 payment they'd just given her.

Summer and her boyfriend Aaron Sandford had agreed to hand their child over to Mike and Esther after the birth in exchange for cash. They wanted to use the money to fund a stay in rehab for Aaron's alcoholic father Eric.

In scenes airing later this month, Mike and Esther insist on driving Summer to the hospital for her 12-week scan.

Mike and Esther agree that they'll wait outside the building while the scan takes place. Summer and Aaron reluctantly head inside and play for time, needing to keep up the pretence that Summer is still pregnant.

Their plan backfires when Mike suddenly appears by their side, insisting that he should have a chance to be at the scan after all.

Summer and Aaron are defeated and brace themselves to finally tell Mike the truth.

Later in the week, Summer realises that she needs to do the right thing and raise the ?10,000 to pay back Mike and Esther.

Summer calls her three dads together, telling Billy Mayhew, Todd Grimshaw and Paul Foreman that she and Aaron are planning to go travelling for a year and need ?10,000.

The trio are sceptical and quiz Summer for further details about her plans.

Events take another twist when Mike and Esther tell Summer and Aaron that they're willing to forget the lost ?10,000.

The pair also promise to give Summer even more money if she'll agree to be a surrogate for their baby.

When Billy finds out what's going on, he makes it his mission to ensure that Summer refuses the surrogacy offer.

Billy summons Mike and Esther to speak to him and tries to lay down the law.

Mike stands up to Billy, pointing out that it's Summer's decision to make rather than his.

Billy refuses to back down and threatens to report Mike and Esther to the police over their recent behaviour. How will Summer react?

Coronation Street's Summer Spellman finds herself in danger in early January as her storyline with Mike and Esther Hargrave continues.

Summer is about to accept a second offer from Mike and Esther, who are prepared to pay her to become a surrogate for them.

In upcoming scenes, Summer makes an appointment at the fertility clinic to get the plan under way.

Keen to avoid a repeat of their previous rows, Billy Mayhew promises Summer that he won't stand in her way this time.

Summer's other two dads Todd Grimshaw and Paul Foreman are less understanding, privately vowing to find out more about Mike and Esther.

Paul suggests to Todd that they should raise some money to pay off Mike and Esther, hoping that they'll finally leave Summer alone if the price is right.

Later in the week, there are more warning signs that Mike and Esther aren't as squeaky-clean as they seem.

Leanne Battersby spots Summer with Mike and recognises him as a drunken man who flirted with her at the Bistro.

Leanne tips off Billy, who's immediately worried and decides to tell Summer the truth.

Further surprises await Summer when Todd reveals that he has been contacted by Ava, a woman who is part of the congregation at Mike and Esther's old church.

Ava has told Todd that she once had an affair with Mike. When Summer brings this up with Esther, she confirms that it's true but adds that Mike's betrayal is all in the past.

Summer meets up with Ava to hear her side of the story, but is shocked by what she discovers.

Furious and feeling like she has been duped, Summer heads over to Esther and Mike's house.

The visit turns dangerous when Mike locks Summer in the nursery, leaving her without her bag which contains her phone and insulin.

Leaving temporarily only...

Coronation Street has revealed a first look at Summer Spellman waving goodbye to Weatherfield for a while.

Summer is leaving the cobbles to study abroad for a few months, but she won't be gone for good.

Last month, Summer was offered the chance to move to the US for an extended trip throughout the spring.

Summer considered declining the opportunity as she didn't want to be apart from Paul Foreman, who has Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and may only have a few months left to live.

Next week, Summer makes her final decision as she books her flight to Boston.

Billy Mayhew is pleased to see Summer putting herself first and he agrees to cook a roast dinner so she can celebrate with him, Paul, Todd Grimshaw and Bernie Winter.

Later in the week, Billy, Paul and Todd all say an emotional farewell to Summer as she sets off for the airport.

Summer is driven away in a cab as her break from Weatherfield gets under way.

Digital Spy understands that Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer, hasn't left the cast of Coronation Street and will be back later in the summer.

Speaking to The Lincolnite newspaper earlier this year, Harriet commented: "I am fully invested in Corrie and have not done any other acting bits.

"I don't have any solid plans to leave the show, but there is always something in the back of my head that I would love to do more theatre work.

"I teach singing, so feed into my love of theatre through that."

Coronation Street airs Summer's temporary departure on Wednesday, March 27.

Coronation Street airs return scenes for Summer Spellman next week.

The teen character arrives back in Weatherfield after two months away in the US, but she's not arriving alone.

Next week's episodes see Paul Foreman's Motor Neurone Disease (MND) story continue as he attends an appointment with his nurse alongside his husband Billy Mayhew.

Paul is told that as his weakened neck muscles get worse, he won't be able to keep using the stair lift he needs to gain access to their upstairs flat.

Later in the week, Paul receives a visit at home from an Eyegaze specialist, who shows him how to use some new equipment. This will allow Paul to communicate via eye movements which control his computer device.

Summer then arrives back at the flat after flying home from the US. She announces that she has a new boyfriend called Felix, who's waiting to meet Paul and Billy at the Rovers Return.

Just as Paul and Billy are about to leave the flat, their plans for the rest of the day are disrupted as Paul falls down the stairs.

As Paul recovers, Todd Grimshaw turns up and Summer arrives with Felix. How will the meeting go?

Coronation Street bosses have cast former The Tower and Doctors actor Robin Morrissey in the role of Felix.

Summer left Weatherfield on March 27 as she decided to follow her dream of studying in the US for a while.

The teen had been accepted for a temporary transfer to a university in Boston, so she said her goodbyes to her three dads Paul, Billy and Todd.

As Paul has previously shared plans to end his life on his own terms once his MND progresses further, Summer was worried that she might not see him again. However, Paul urged Summer to put herself first and promised that he'd be waiting for her upon her return.

When Summer's departure aired, Digital Spy confirmed that these weren't permanent exit scenes and that she'd be back at a later date.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 12.
