Summer Spellman’s love life is about to take an unexpected turn in Coronation Street next week, as newcomer Marco makes quite the impression, although his unusual way of getting her attention doesn’t exactly get things off to the best start.

Upcoming scenes see Summer (Harriet Bibby) encounter the mysterious newcomer in the café, where he takes an interest in her artwork.

Marco compliments Summer on her drawing, and there appears to be an immediate connection between them, but things take a rather bizarre turn when she briefly heads to the loo.

While Summer is away from the table, Marco rips the page containing her drawing out of her notepad, and then promptly disappears with it.

Understandably, Summer has no idea what has happened to her work, but it isn’t long before she makes a surprising discovery.

Later, while passing the tattoo shop, Summer spots something familiar in the window; her missing drawing is on display!

Realising Marco is responsible, she wastes little time confronting him outside the shop and demands to know why he stole her design.

Marco, however, has an unexpected explanation.

He admits taking the picture was actually an excuse to ensure he would get the opportunity to see Summer again.

Marco then offers to buy the drawing from her and, making his intentions even clearer, suggests the pair could meet for a drink.

Despite their unconventional introduction, it seems Summer is intrigued enough to give the newcomer a chance.

She later catches up with best friends Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) and Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney), revealing that she has agreed to go on a date with Marco.

However, Summer admits she still has reservations about the situation, and after the way they first met, perhaps that’s understandable.

Asha has worries of her own as she prepares to return to work and face Sienna again, while the friends find themselves sympathising with one another over their failed romances.

For Summer, though, it looks as though there could finally be something new on the horizon.

Whatever concerns she initially has about Marco apparently aren’t enough to put her off completely, as she subsequently tells Asha and Amy that she has arranged another date with him.

A second date certainly suggests the first goes well enough for Summer to want to find out more about Weatherfield’s newest arrival.

But viewers might still have questions about Marco. Stealing someone’s artwork to get their attention is certainly a memorable introduction, and Summer herself initially appears unsure about his intentions.

Is Marco simply a cheeky romantic who went about asking Summer out in a very strange way, or could there be more to him than meets the eye?

Whatever the answer, sparks are clearly beginning to fly, with that all-important second date confirming Summer is willing to see where things go.

Could Weatherfield have a brand new couple on its hands?
