In today’s early ITVX episode of Coronation Street (Thursday, May 21), Summer Spellman was arrested just as she planned to leave the country.

Summer feared that the police were coming after her and was ready to head off to the USA before they had the chance.

But, the DS Connor-Swain was one step ahead and stopped fleeing Summer right in her tracks.

Summer blames Todd in Coronation Street

Tonight in Weatherfield, Summer entered Roy’s Rolls just in time to overhear a conversation between George and Christina.

This realisation scared Summer, making her run off and plan her escape to America for later that day. Todd tried to talk some sense into her but the situation blew out of proportion.

In a full 180, Summer then apologised to Todd and told him that she didn’t really blame him. It wasn’t his fault. The whole situation just made her lash out.

Todd accepted the apology and rushed to pack Summer’s things into the car and take her to the airport for her flight to the USA.

However, just as they were leaving the Street, they were stopped by a police car. Out came DS Connor-Swain who told Summer to step away from the vehicle.

She then proceeded to arrest Summer on suspicion of killing Theo. With all of this drama, Todd was fuming that the police could do this without any evidence.

Of course though, he was totally oblivious to George telling the police all about seeing Summer head to Theo’s flat on the night of the murder…
