Coronation Street star Harriet Bibby has sparked speculation that her character, Summer Spellman, could be the murderer of Theo Silverton. The 29-year-old actress, who has played Summer on the ITV soap since 2021, made the teasing comments amid the show's latest whodunnit storyline.
Theo, played by James Cartwright, was killed off during the soap's Murder Week after a year of abusing Summer's adoptive father, Todd Grimshaw. Summer later learned that Theo was also responsible for the death of her other adoptive dad, Billy Mayhew, who died in a minibus explosion during a crossover with Emmerdale.
When asked about being a suspect, Bibby said: 'She's such an unexpected suspect in this, but it's also completely understandable why she's a suspect, and so she should be.' She added that Summer might have felt pushed to a point where it was 'either her or him'.
Summer is one of several suspects, including Todd, George Shuttleworth, Christina Boyd, Danielle Silverton, and Mikey North. Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITV X.
