Yahoo News Coronation Street plans Spice storyline for Summer
Coronation Street is planning a spice storyline for troubled youngster Summer Spellman.
The Daily Star reports that the teen will become involved in a plot where she finds a joint in the Street and is encouraged to smoke it by tearaway Simon Barlow – then collapses minutes after smoking the 'zombie' drug.
The story follows the real-life rise of the drug in Manchester, where numerous people have been filmed or photographed drooped over in the street.
Digital Spy reached out to ITV for comment, who informed us they do not comment on storyline speculation.
Summer, who is played by Matilda Freeman, is currently in the process of being adopted by vicar Billy Mayhew and his boyfriend Todd Grimshaw.
The hard-hitting tale comes months after promises from Coronation Street boss Kate Oates that storylines would continue to represent the struggles and diversity of modern-day Britain.
As such, Coronation Street is also planning its first HIV storyline for Seb Franklin.
Seb will apparently learn that he is HIV+ in scenes to air in October – leaving him, girlfriend Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) and their close friends and family having to come to terms with this news.
Coronation Street airs weekdays on ITV.
