Coronation Street viewers seem to have had enough of Summer Spellman following her recent collapse after failing to take her medication.
The young teen, who has type 1 diabetes, was in a panic when she couldn’t find her passport ahead of her holiday with her boyfriend Aaron.
Rushing around the flat trying to find her missing belongings, Summer dramatically fell to the floor.

But as this isn’t the first time Summer’s been in this predicament, viewers were not impressed seeing her health deteriorate on their screens again and begged producers to change the script.
Jumping onto Twitter, disgruntled fans shared their thoughts on the scene.

One person wrote: “Summer is such a bad advert for a Type 1 Diabetic. The first thing she would have is a Libre sensor on her arm.
“Blood sugars can be checked immediately without the old fashioned finger pricking. Come on Corrie get your writers to do better research.”
Another penned: “How much more of this Summer storyline are we going to have to endure… it’s just beyond boring now, such a gloomy character.”
A third shared: “Why is Summer on the floor AGAIN? Can’t the scriptwriters come up with anything else?”

Meanwhile another viewer begged the writers to show other characters instead of Summer and her boyfriend Aaron.
The spectator wrote: “Why are we seeing nothing of the super talented Asha, the brilliant Amy and the glorious Nina, The amazing Sam , I’d even settle for Hope Stape. Enough of Summer ( clearly played by someone older than the character) and her refusal to help herself in any way.”
Due to Summer fainting with Aaron trying his best to help her, the young couple ended up missing their flight and to viewers’ disappointment their holiday plans were quickly scrapped.
But once Aaron found out that Summer was deliberately not taking her insulin, he was clearly very angry and threatened to end their relationship.

However the young chap seemed to have a change of heart at the end of the programme when Summer promised that she will keep his secret that his father is physically abusing him.
Seeing the scene unfold, Corrie fans appeared to be rather annoyed by this aspect too.
Taking to Twitter again, one frustrated spectator penned: “Summer is so selfish and manipulative. I feel sorry for Aaron. It’s obvious he’s not coping well and needs to deal with his own problems but she couldn’t give a s**t about anyone but herself.”
