Coronation Street spoilers: Max and Daniel
They’ve often clashed before, but Max hates Daniel for ‘making a move’ on Summer.

He sees Daniel going into Summer’s bag, not realising that the concerned teacher wants her to eat an energy bar due to diabetes.
When he searches the bag later, Max finds a love poem in Daniel’s writing and believes it’s a lover’s gift.
What he doesn’t realise is that the poem is part of Summer’s Oxford application instead.
