Having made up with Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Aaron catches up with Amy on the street and begs her to forget about their drunken sex.
When Amy asserts that she was far too drunk to consent, Aaron goes all out to convince Amy that she wanted sex as much as he did and they’re equally responsible for what happened but she knows he’s lying.

Having had an awful night’s sleep and missed her lecture, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) worries about Amy.
Unable to come up with an excuse, Amy agrees to meet Summer for a drink. But when she realises Aaron is there too and has invited a mate, she makes excuses and leaves.
When Summer reveals that she’s hoping to go to Manchester University to be near Aaron, Amy bristles and advises her to look further afield. Summer’s bemused.
Making out that he was as drunk as she was, Aaron begs Amy not to tell Summer that they slept together.
Working closely alongside The Schools Consent Project, Coronation Street producers hope Amy’s storyline will allow more conversations on the subject matter to be had amongst families and friends.
Producer Iain MacLeod said: “Since we started discussing this storyline, I have been struck by the number of people who have put their hands up to say they’ve had a similar experience to Amy.
“This story will be hugely relatable and we hope it will prompt important discussions among our audience about issues around consent.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm
