Drama is never far away from the Coronation Street cobbles. And it was far from a happy Easter in Weatherfield as trouble seemed to appear around every corner.
In Easter Monday's hour-long episode of the soap former drug dealer Jacob Hay, who is trying to win over new love Amy Barlow and her family, took advantage of corner shop assistant Evelyn Plummer over-ordering alcopops and decided to sell them in Victoria Gardens.
A vengeful Simon Barlow reported Jacob to the police and as they arrived at Victoria Gardens Jacob did a runner, leaving the last boxes of alcopops on the bench. But there was a serious mix-up as police officers found diabetic Summer Spellman slumped on the bench.

Assuming her to be drunk, they picked her up and took her down to the station. Thankfully her friends Amy and Aadi Alahan saved the day when called at the police station and told their policeman neighbour Craig Tinker about Summer’s arrest and how she was suffering from her diabetes and not intoxicated.
Craig hurried to the cells where he found the teen, who has been secretly battling the eating disorder bulimia, slumped in a diabetic coma. Fearing the worst, Craig shouted for someone to call an ambulance.
Thankfully Summer was later seen recovering in hospital before being allowed home where she finally opened up to her adoptive dad Billy Mayhew about her bulimia. But fans were horrified by the scenes and called out the soap's Weatherfield Police for their actions.
