It looks like Coronation Street's Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw WILL become parents following the death of Billy's ex, Drew.

It was Drew's dying wish that Billy would adopt his young daughter Summer, but the vicar's boyfriend Todd Grimshaw wasn't keen on the idea and so he initially said no.

But now the soap's producer Kate Oates has been spilling all the details and it looks like the pair will end up raising the child after all.

"We will learn that maybe Billy's past isn't quite as straight-forward as Todd thinks. It's about how they settle into parenting and their different approaches to that," she said.

"Todd can be bad, and Billy is so good, but I'm interested to know what Billy was like before he was a vicar.

"We've met his brother before and seen that he's dark and troubled, so maybe Billy isn't quite as straight-forward as Todd thinks."

Ohhh, very interesting.

Viewers were only introduced to Drew late last month, when he visited the Street and told Billy that he was terminally ill.

And while Drew is still alive on our screens at the moment, the cast have recently been seen filming Drew's funeral scenes, so it looks like viewers should prepare themselves to say goodbye to the character soon.

His death and funeral will no doubt spark further discussions over Summer's future, but we'll have to wait and see what convinces Todd to change his mind about becoming a parent.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
