Summer was born on 19 June 2007 after her mother Dawn prematurely went into labour whilst on a train. Dawn made it to the hospital, where she safely delivered Summer with her best friend Carly Wicks by her side.

However during a trip to Brighton in August 2007 with Summer and Garry Hobbs, Dawn finally accepted responsibility for her daughter and vowed to become a proper mother. As January 2008 approached Summer saw her mother begin a relationship with builder Jase Dyer, and she also began modelling for catalogues after Dawn took her to an audition. Dawn was still committed to the idea of Summer being a model and entered her for the "Beautiful Baby" competition that took place at the Queen Vic on her first birthday.

Summer was declared healthy once checked on by doctors.

More tragedy struck for Summer's family when her mother's fiancé Jase was murdered by members of a gang he used to run about with on 26 August 2008. Recently Dawn, Summer, Jase and his son Jay had been living at 89B George Street after the fire but with the flat being cordoned off by police, Dawn and Summer moved in with Garry temporarily whilst Jay resided in a foster home. However being in Walford proved too much for Dawn and by the end of the month she and Summer left Walford in order to visit the rest of their family in the Cotswolds.

When Shirley Carter asked Heather to move out of her mother's flat and into hers, Queenie manipulated Heather into staying. Queenie claimed she was pleased to see her daughter leave, but then pretended to have an accident and Heather was so concerned for her mother's safety that she decided not to move out. However, Heather later heard Queenie laughing about her deception to a friend on the phone, mocking her daughter's stupidity, calling her a "stupid cow." Heather was so angry that she decided to move in with Shirley after all, only to find that Shirley had been evicted as she'd failed to pay the rent. Not wanting to remain living with her spiteful mother, Heather decided to pay the rent with money she had in her savings account. She sneaked back to Queenie's to find her savings book, but discovered that her mother had stolen most of her money.

URL last accessed 2008-07-16.] On 20 March 2007, Honey found out she was pregnant with her second child, and told Pat Evans, asking her not to tell Billy. Pat berated Honey for not telling Billy and when she eventually did tell him. Billy was distant with Honey after this but the two finally had a heart to heart and he admitted to having the same concerns as her including that they may love the new baby more than their first child Janet, which Honey reassured him could never happen. After this the two agreed they wanted the new baby and gradually spread the news to their family. The baby was due on 12 November 2007.

On 12 November 2007, Honey was knocked down due to an incident at The Queen Vic involving Jase Dyer, Terry Bates and Terry's gang. This caused the placenta to become dislodged from the uterine wall, and Honey went into labour. When he was born, it seemed that William had died because he wasn't breathing, however he eventually pulled through. Honey came up with the idea for him to be named after his father. She felt guilty that she was happy that he did not have Down's syndrome like his sister.

William left Walford with his mother and sister on 2 September 2008 when Billy lied to her about handing all of Jase's money to charity which had led to his death. It was revealed a few days later that they are living with William's grandfather Jack Edwards.

The scenes in which Honey was attacked were subject to heavy criticism, with Ofcom receiving 78 complaints from viewers about the level of violence displayed, and concerns for the safety of her baby. The media regulatory body stated that: "In Ofcom's view the violence was not appropriately limited for this time of the evening when many children are available to view television."cite web|author=John Plunkett|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/feb/25/bbc.television2?gusrc=rss&feed=media|title= EastEnders violence ruled out of order|publisher=The Guardian|date=25 February 2008|accessdate=2008-03-05] "EastEnders" was found to have breached the broadcasting code on this occasion, though the BBC defended itself by stating that there had been a gradual build up to the event over several episodes, and that a content warning was aired prior to the episode's broadcast.cite web|author=Matthew Hemley|url=http://www.thestage.co.uk/news/newsstory.php/19929/ofcom-raps-bbc-over-eastenders-violence|title= Ofcom raps BBC over EastEnders violence|publisher=The Stage|date=25 February 2008|accessdate=2008-03-05]
