Coronation Street: Mike and Esther

Summer met Mike and Esther a couple of months ago.

When Summer found out she was pregnant, Esther and Mike told her that they wanted to adopt her baby in return for money.

Summer eventually agreed, knowing that her boyfriend Aaron needed £10k to pay for his dad’s rehab.

Mike and Esther sent her the money.

But after Eric came out of rehab, he immediately relapsed and Summer suffered a miscarriage.

Summer and Aaron didn’t tell the couple about the miscarriage so they could get more money to pay for Eric to go back to rehab.

However this week Mike figured out the truth after realising Summer’s baby scan was fake.

Mike demanded the money but soon the couple came up with another idea – Summer acts as their surrogate.

But fans are convinced that Mike and Esther are up to something more sinister.

They’re convinced that the couple have been selling babies.

On Entertainment Daily‘s Facebook page, fans revealed their theories about Mike and Esther.

One wrote: “I reckon those two are selling babies.”

A second commented: “I think they sell babies.”

A third added: “I think they are selling kids.”

Another said: “Bet they sell babies and as she lost the baby they can’t make money, so hence their financially ruined.”
