Summer Spellman has had a terrible time of late with the troubled teen suffering ill health and falling into a diabetic coma.
Thankfully, Summer actress Harriet Bibby is having a much happier time at the moment. She was seen cosying up to newcomer James Craven, who plays Summer's new friend Aaron, this weekend.
Summer and Aaron met at a diabetes support group and quickly exchanged numbers while waiting for the session to start. Summer's adoptive dad Billy was pleased to see her making friends at the group.
