Coronation Street fans horrified as Paul Foreman blackmails Summer Spellman’s boyfriend Aaron

CORONATION Street fans are horrified after Paul Foreman blackmailed Aaron into breaking up with Summer Spellman.

The builder - who is played by actor Peter Ash in the ITV soap - decided to end his ex’s adopted daughter’s relationship after discovering Aaron once tried drugs.

It all came out after Aaron’s abusive dad turned up at the garage and attacked him for stealing his weed and cash.

He attacked Aaron when he got home, with Aaron fleeing to Summer.

However when Paul heard what had gone on, he went to confront Aaron for leading Summer astray and grabbed Aaron’s injured arm.  

Aaron winced in pain and lashed out, punching Paul in the face.  

Billy got to Paul in time to stop him from reporting Paul to the police by convincing him to hear him out.

And when they got to the flat, Paul seemed receptive.

“Can you both give us a sec?” said Paul sending Billy and Summer out of the room.

“Billy told me about your dad - about the drinking…

“Sounds like you’ve had it tough, trust me, I’ve been there. So for Summer’s sake I’m willing to take it on the chin, literally.”

Aaron was overwhelmed and said: “Thank you. I promise nothing like that will ever happen again.”

But Paul had a condition and told him: “It won’t as you won’t be with her. Look, we all know how this ends and it isn’t happy ever after with Summer.

“As much as you have my sympathy, Summer can do better - way better. 

“The best thing you can do is walk away now before either of you get any closer. 

“She doesn’t need your drama, she’s had enough of her own. If you really love her, you’ll do the right thing and let her go.”

Viewers are sickened by his controlling demand.

One wrote: "Surely Paul needs to take his own advice then, and stay away from Summer himself as he's punched a few people in his time too"

A second said: "Hang on a minute after Paul finding out that Aaron is getting abused by his dad he's saying that Summer deserves better the same Paul who was also abused by a father figure so does that mean Paul's no good for anyone?"

Another added: " Wow, Paul was a harsh to Aaron and Summer will only hate him for saying that to him"
