Technically she is only a Battersby by marriage, Les was not her father.

All true. She does not have infected genes.

He was her stepfather for most of her life though

That used to be the case but no longer

Please, I'm begging you Coronation Street. Please, please make it end. This Summer story is getting beyond torture now. It's definitely remote fast forward time now.

Never mind remote fast forward, this story should not be going forward at any speed. Summer is simply not old enough to be a surrogate, full stop, and stop is what they should be doing with this story. If Summer went to a fertility clinic, it would be a short conversation before she was shown the way out.

Same with Max. Just when you think a storyline has come to a natural end Corrie prolongs the agony even more.

But she has been to meetings where this was never raised, her 3 dads, who surely researched this, do not seem to know... she is 18, an adult and they cannot stop her doing from what she wants to do is all they are saying....

Spoiler:

I sincerely hope that Summer might change her mind when Mike locks her into the nursery and leaves her without phone and her insulin but not holding my breath

Which just shows that Soaps ignore reality when it suits them for the sake of a story. Not only do you need to be 21, but I believe it is preferred if a surrogate has previously had a child.

This is so basic that surely Corrie must know. They only needed to google it ffs.

I have this awful feeling that Max will refuse to give evidence against Griff leading to his release. Which will ignore the fact that a) There were explosives in his car b) Spider has been following him all this time and will be able to give evidence against him c) He assaulted Spider and d) He assaulted David.

But, as we can see with the Summer storyline, Corrie never let facts get in the way of a story.
