Corrie fans 'expose' vile Mike and Esther 'insemination plot' as Summer disappears

Coronation Street fans have joined Billy Mayhew in their rampant suspicions of Mike and Esther after Summer disappeared in recent scenes on the ITV soap.

Billy confronted the married couple about Summer and protested against the teen being their surrogate.

As he accused them of taking advantage of Summer, Mike informed him of Summer’s miscarriage and the reality that she had not paid them back their money.

Billy then told Summer, Todd and Paul that he was going to report Mike and Esther to the police for grooming Summer.

Yet Summer threatened to disappear from the cobbles if he indeed went through with the threat, leaving Billy vowing to do whatever he could to protect her.

Outside the police station, Paul persuaded him not to report Mike and Esther so they could protect Summer.

Then in later scenes on Friday evening, Billy found a note from Summer which read: "I've gone away for a while as I need some space. Please don't look for me. Summer."

As Billy worried that Summer might have disappeared to Mike and Esther's home, a furious Aaron lashed out and said she was determined not to be found.

He then blamed himself for Summer running away and said: "All she needed was someone to talk to and all I did was judge. She could be anywhere now."

Fans have been left highly suspicious of Mike and Esther as they believe there's more to the couple, who are desperate for a baby, than meets the eye.

Taking to Twitter, one said: "Oh wow, Summer has finally gone. I'm guessing she's joined the cult and will be living in the commune of Mike and Esther."

Another wrote: "Summer's moved into Mike and Esther's basement."

Others had even more sinister possible schemes in mind, as a third questioned: "Summer's gonna sleep with Mike isn't she?"

Another echoed: "I bet she comes back pregnant by Mike!!," and another wrote: "Wait until Bill finds out Mike wants to inseminate Summer. There wont be any hail Mary's when he gets his hands on him."

"Mike is basically threatening to rape Summer! Billy needs to get the police involved!" another wrote.

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