Coronation Street will air another twist in Summer Spellman\u2019s surrogacy storyline as one of her three father figures<\/a> risks going back to prison.<\/p>\n

In upcoming scenes, Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) fears he might have killed Mike Hargrave (Tom Lorcan) in a physical confrontation.<\/p>\n

Paul gets protective of Summer (Harriet Bibby) after Mike harasses her following a kidnapping ordeal.<\/p>\n

Next week, Mike holds Summer captive, keeping her away from the bag where she keeps her insulin. When she collapses, Mike and Esther (Vanessa Hehir) bring her to the hospital under a false name.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Aggie Bailey (Lorna Laidlaw) is on shift and alerts Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), Paul and Todd Grimshaw (Garrett Pierce), who all rush to the hospital and learn the truth about Summer\u2019s miscarriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Later on, Mike becomes persistent when he insists on talking to Summer while she\u2019s at the hospital. Caught by Paul and Todd, he flees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Mike comes back into the hospital to try to speak to Summer again, that\u2019s the moment where Paul snaps and decides to go after him. He just snaps and lets his anger get the best of him,\u201d Ash told RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press.<\/p>\n

Summer\u2019s two dads follow Mike, with things quickly going awry, resulting in an angered Paul pushing him. Paul watches in horror as Mike hits his head, terrified this might land him in prison once again.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, Paul\u2019s really worried to be honest \u2013 he even says I didn\u2019t mean to knock him out, it was just a flash of anger,\u201d the actor explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt came at the moment where Mike insinuates that Paul\u2019s feelings for Summer could be almost inappropriate, and obviously because Paul had to deal with the grooming he suffered from when he grew up, that really makes him see red.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul just snaps and that\u2019s the moment where he pushes him. But when he realises he\u2019s gone too far, it\u2019s terrifying, because that could be him back in prison and his life nearly over.\u201d<\/p>

Given their rivalry over Billy\u2019s affection and past disagreements, Ash isn\u2019t sure Todd would cover for Paul should the worst case scenario materialise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are smoother now than they used to be,\u201d Ash offered, adding: \u201cTodd was the reason Paul and Billy broke up so things haven\u2019t been easy, but the fact that the three of them all still care for Summer and take on the \u2018dad role\u2019 has helped smooth things over and there are maybe less\u00a0hard feelings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the last thing I think he\u2019d expect is for Todd to cover for him. A year or so ago Todd would happily have pushed him under the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Mike dead? And will Paul admit to what happened?<\/p>\n
