Coronation Street viewers have aired their worry about a budding friendship between two characters. During the recent trips to the famous cobbles, viewers of the ITV soap have seen Summer Spellman and boyfriend Aaron Sandford move in with Amy Barlow and Jacob Hay.
The young quartet have flown the nest to move in together at Toyah and the late Imran Habeeb's flat, while hiding Summer's pregnancy from her guardian Billy Mayhew who thinks she had an abortion. Early this year former drug dealer Jacob Hay was revealed as being Amy's secret boyfriend, and his cheeky personality has won the hearts of viewers.
However some soap watchers think they've spotted chemistry between Jacob, played by Jack James Ryan, and Summer, played by Harriet Bibby. Fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts.

And @janiom pleaded: "I love Jacob and Amy's romance, but yes, his friendship with Summer is lovely - mates are everything. Please don't let the scriptwriters screw up with your character! Let Jacob and Amy be a success story."
