Coronation Street fans will be introduced to newcomer Ava Haynes in upcoming scenes as Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) tries to find out more about Mike Hargrave (Tim Lorcan).
Fans of the ITV soap have been suspicious of Mike and his wife Esther Hargrave (Vanessa Hehir) ever since they suggested becoming surrogate parents to Summer's unborn child last year.
Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) recognised Mike in recent scenes and realised he was the drunken man who previously flirted with her in the Bistro.

The youngster decides to meet up with Ava and is shocked by what she discovers.
A furious Summer heads over to Esther and Mike’s but finds herself in danger when Mike locks her in the nursery without her bag containing her phone and insulin. Will Summer be ok?
