Will Summer (played by Harriet Bibby) ever get help for her eating disorder?

The Weatherfield teen was first left to explain herself to Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) as the latter uncovered the truth about her inner turmoil.

Next week, Amy tackles her friend in Victoria gardens but a pale Summer loses her temper and orders her to back off.

Meanwhile, Jacob Hay (Jack James Ryan) takes advantage of Evelyn Plummer over-ordering alcopops and is planning on selling them in the gardens for a profit to pay the rent.

Simon Barlow reports Jacob to the police and, as they arrive at Victoria gardens, the criminal escapes, leaving the final two boxes of alcopops on the bench.

This leads to a terrible misunderstanding involving Summer – the officers find her slumped on the bend next to the boxes and take her down to the station after assuming she’s drunk.

Amy and Aadi Alahan later call at the station and seek help from Craig Tinker as they believe she may be suffering from her diabetes.

Little did they know how right they were as Summer is set for the shock of a lifetime.

Police constable Craig rushes to the cells where he finds Summer in a diabetic coma.

Fearing the worst, as a diabetic coma can be fatal if left untreated, Craig shouts for someone to call an ambulance.

As mentioned above, the teenager is suffering from an eating disorder as she struggled to come to terms with her diabetes diagnosis.

A diabetic coma can be triggered by a poorly managed diabetes as well as skipping meals, drinking alcohol and insulin delivery problems.

Will Summer make it?

Could this be the wake-up call Summer needs to turn her health around?

How will her guardian Billy Mayhew react to her arrest and coma?

Will he finally get her the help she needs for her disordered eating?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV.
