Coronation Street couple Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw are reunited with Summer next week
They finally get to be her parents.
Coronation Street couple Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw will finally get the chance to be parents to Summer after they are reunited with her in heartwarming scenes next week.
Todd and Billy are keen to keep their promise to Summer's late dad Drew by raising the young girl as their own, but her grandparents are currently standing in their way.
With Drew's mother Geraldine being particularly firm in her refusal to hand Summer over to the pair, their hopes of raising her are gradually fading.
However, things take an unexpected turn next week when Billy and Todd move into the flat above the flower shop and are surprised when Summer turns up at the solicitor's for another meeting.
As Todd quizzes her about her new living arrangements, they're startled by the arrival of Billy – who is forced to reveal that Summer doesn't have a case and he only went along with it as he wanted to keep tabs on her.
But when Billy and Todd take a disappointed Summer back to their new flat, she starts to open up to them – admitting just how strict her grandparents are.
Desperate to help, Billy and Todd pay Drew's parents a visit and implore them to do what's best for Summer, but their pleas are ignored when Geraldine makes some spiteful homophobic remarks.
However, just when it really does seem that all hope is lost, Drew's father Angus reveals a legal document stating that Drew intended Billy to have guardianship of Summer.
With things finally starting to swing in the couple's favour, Angus tells Summer she must choose between living with Todd and Billy, or staying with her grandparents.
Fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds, but by the end of the week, Summer is back in Weatherfield so there are no prizes for guessing what she decides. Will Billy and Todd rise to the challenge of being parents?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, July 24 and Wednesday, July 26 on ITV.
