Fans of Coronation Street have been left complaining that the Cobbles newcomer, Summer’s boyfriend, Felix, is a ‘pointless’ addition to the soap. Summer Spellman recently returned to Weatherfield from a trip to America with her new man in tow.
Having returned home, she was eager to introduce Felix to her three dads – Paul, Billy and Todd. However, his big moment was upstaged by Paul, who had taken a tumble from his stairlift and was recovering on the sofa.
Todd didn’t do much to make Felix feel welcome either, questioning (albeit jokingly) whether Summer was dating ‘older men’ now.
Poor Felix didn’t do much to win over viewers either, if the reaction on social media was anything to go by.

‘Felix. Another pointless character,’ said one fan.

Can Felix win viewers over, or is Summer onto a non-starter?
