Tonight's episode of the ITV soap sees Billy become concerned when he looks at Summer's laptop and sees that she's been using a forum for people who've lost someone through suicide.

But after opening up to Billy about how upset she feels about Aidan's death, Summer ends up planning an idea for a 'Speak and Save' campaign that she hopes will encourage young men to talk about their mental health.

But Corrie fans can expect further drama later in the week when Jenny brings up Summer's campaign in front of Johnny, who doesn't react well.
