Coronation Street star Elle Mulvaney has shared her thoughts on the latest fan theories surrounding Jacob Hay (Jack James Ryan) and Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby).
Some fans of the ITV soap are convinced that Jacob will cheat on Amy Barlow with her pal Summer in the near future.
Things seem to be going well between Jacob and Amy and the young couple have currently moved into a flat with Summer and her boyfriend Aaron Sandford (James Caven).

However, some fans of the ITV soap have noticed that Jacob seems to be developing a strong connection with Summer.
Jacob has been happy to be there for Summer and to support her when she needs it.
He’s on hand to cover for her on several occasions, such as when she was struggling with morning sickness while working at Underworld.
But are Jacob and Summer merely good friends or is there anything in the fan theory that already complicated situation could be about to get even messier?

Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Elle, who has played Amy for 12 years, said: “Who knows’? But I think they are really good friends. It would be a shame if that happened.”
Jack James Ryan, who plays Jacob, also shared his thoughts on social media and fans of his relationship with Amy may not have to worry after all.
“It’s been so refreshing to develop Jacob and Summer’s friendship on the show,” Jack said while chatting about the fan theory on Twitter.
“We really don’t get to see enough platonic relationships of the opposite sex played out on telly. I know what you lot have been thinking, but don’t worry Jacob is still infatuated with Amy.”
Jacob and Amy’s relationship is set to be tested following the arrival of Jacob’s estranged father Damon (Ciaran Griffiths) later this month.
Opening up about the newcomer, Elle teased: “It’s going to be really interesting when Jacob’s dad Damon comes onto the show.
“He’s going to bring a lot of drama. He’s definitely going to be one to watch and I think it’s going to get really interesting when we start to discover more things about Jacob’s family.
“I think that’s going to have an impact with Jacob and Amy so we’ll have to see what’s going to happen with that.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX
