But who is Esther and who plays her?
Coronation Street: Who is Esther Hargrave?
Last month Billy introduced Summer to couple Mike and Esther.
He explained Esther was planning to help out at the upcoming clothes swap at the community centre.
Summer offered to help Esther with the event
After Mike and Esther left, Billy told Summer he had been counselling the couple through a tough time.
Later Summer helped Esther with the clothes swap and she took her out to lunch with Mike, Billy and Paul to say thank you for her help.
However at the lunch it was revealed that Summer is pregnant.
Summer stormed out, upset at what had happened.
Esther came along to try and help her and explained she and Mike struggled to have children.
Later Esther and Mike said they would adopt the baby in return for money.
At first Summer wasn’t sure and planned to have an abortion.
Billy thought she had a termination but it turned out Summer was planning to secretly have the baby and let Mike and Esther adopt in return for money.
Summer planned to use the money from Mike and Esther to put Aaron’s alcoholic dad Eric through rehab.
They were thrilled that Summer was going to let them adopt the baby and immediately transferred £10k.
Summer and Aaron used the money for Eric’s rehab.
They continued with their plan, but Mike and Esther said needed to say Mike was the baby’s father on the birth certificate in order to avoid suspicion from social services.
However after leaving rehab, Eric began drinking again and Summer suffered a miscarriage.
She still hasn’t told Mike and Esther about what happened as she plans to use more of their money to put Eric through rehab again.
Will she come clean?
