Coronation Street mysteries as character goes missing – and two others hide an earth-shattering secret
CORONATION Street's latest episode has exposed two big mysteries - and one has a deadly secret. Following on from the LSD-fuelled house party at Aadi's, a number of mysteries have began to unravel across Weatherfield. 6 6 6 On-screen, fans already know that Lauren Bolton accidentally consumed some of the drugs which caused her to see hallucinate and see visions of her dead abuser, Joel Deering. However, as far as the police and the other residents are concerned, no one can put their finger on just how Lauren got into the state she was in and who it could have been that spiked here. Elsewhere, TWO more mysteries were kept a secret from viewers. Following Monday's episode, it was clear that something was amiss with Nina Lucas, played by Mollie Gallagher, and Summer Spellman (Harriett Bibby) when they returned from their drug-fulled outing screaming in terror and vowing to each other to keep quiet about something. Throughout today's episode, viewers watched as Summer and Nina traced their steps which led them to an alleyway. Without giving anything away, they tried to reassure themselves that they were "in the clear" as there was nothing there. As the episode continued, they kept quiet from their other pals about whatever happened involving them. But as the guilt continued to rack Nina, she told Summer that she thought they needed to inform the police of what they'd done. Summer said to her: "Look, we went back - there was no one there. "There has been nothing on the news." Nina insisted that she "saw what I saw" as Summer tried to convince her it was hallucinations despite them both appearing to have imagined the same thing. Nina then added: "We need to tell the police!" Revealing the deadly secret she added: "We left someone to die." But just who is it that the pair are referring too? 6 6 At the same time as the fallout from the party, Maria was left worried after Gary Windass appeared to go missing. Although he had spent one night away from home with his mum following a row with Maria, he failed to return as planned. This caused concern for Maria as he failed to get in touch with her to tell her. Despite repeated calls, Gary didn't pick up leaving Maria worried. But where is Gary and could his disappearance be connected to Summer and Nina's shocking secret? Soap's most harrowing teen storylines We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. Belle Dingle's schizophrenia in Emmerdale - Belle's (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral. The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma's voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being. Hannah Ashworth's anorexia in Hollyoaks - Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body. As Hannah's condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life. Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal in Coronation Street - Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator.

Coronation Street star's future on soap revealed after her onscreen dad is axed amid cast cull
THE future of a Coronation Street character has been revealed after her entire onscreen family has been axed in the soap's ongoing cast cull. Actress Harriett Bibby plays the role of Summer Spellman on the ITV soap opera but fans were left fearing she could be next to face the chop when it was revealed her on-screen dad, Billy Mayhew, would be leaving just months after her other on-screen father, Paul Foreman, was killed off. 5 5 5 The news of Billy actor Daniel Brocklebank 's impending departure cast doubt on whether Summer would remain on the show as she would no longer have any family left in Weatherfield. Now, The Sun can exclusively reveal that Summer will be remaining on the cobbles with soap chiefs rushing to sign actress Harriet up on another contract amid the rampant departures. The 27-year-old has been handed another brand new 12-month deal to keep her on the programme well into 2026. A source told The Sun: "Harriet is a real asset to the show and extremely well liked. "There is a big story coming up later this month with Harriet and the other younger cast at the centre of it which will have repercussions for many of the residents." Summer has proved a real fan favourite on the programme and so it was a no-brainer for bosses to lock her down and keep her on the nation's favourite street. The Sun first told earlier this week how Coronation Street had lined up a game-changing plot that will focus solely on the programme's younger characters. Sydney Martin and Cait Fitton, who play Betsy and Lauren, told The Sun at the British Soap Awards about the scenes which will see the Corrie teens banding together. Actress Cait said: "There is gonna be something quite different in the near-near future where we see all the younger cast come together. "We really enjoyed that because nine times out of ten you don't really get to see people unless you are working with them.

"It was two weeks of us non-stop altogether." Summer is expected to appear in the scenes which will have repercussions for months to come She is also expected to play a part in the exit of her on-screen dad, vicar Billy, who will exit as part of an issue-based storyline when his contract was not renewed after 11 years on the show. It is understood his departure was one solely made by Corrie bosses as 'a story-based decision.' Confirming his exit, Daniel said: "I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life. "I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not looked forward to going into work. "I love everyone who works on this show and whilst I am sad to be going, I am equally excited to see what the future holds." 5 5
