Just when Todd Grimshaw thought he’d finally found something real in Coronation Street, everything started to fall apart again. With emotions running high and Theo stuck between two worlds, the budding relationship has become more complicated than ever.
Theo’s Mixed Signals Leave Todd Confused
When Theo first arrived in Weatherfield, he and Todd shared a strong connection, but it came with baggage. Theo kept his distance at first, saying he wasn’t gay. Then, not long after, he would come back, messaging Todd or hanging out with him, unable to stay away.
As time went by, the reason behind Theo’s behavior became clear. He had spent years in a marriage with Danielle and had children.
What he hadn’t shared was that he had never fully accepted his own identity. After Danielle uncovered the truth, Theo made the tough choice to try to fix his family and told Todd they couldn’t see each other anymore.
But walking away was harder than he thought. Theo vanished, prompting Danielle to call Todd in panic. When he finally showed up, he was drunk and spiraling, getting into a fight with Mick Michaelis before Billy arrived to break it up and take him to safety.
Theo’s Pain Comes to Light in Coronation Street
At Roy’s café, Todd found Theo in pieces. He said he felt like his family would be better off without him because of “what he was.”
Todd and Billy reassured him that there was nothing wrong with being gay and encouraged him to stop punishing himself.
That’s when Theo revealed the heartbreaking truth, he came from a strict religious background and had been forced into conversion therapy when he was younger. It left deep scars, and even now, he struggled to accept himself.
Despite everything, Theo told Todd that their relationship wasn’t really over. He had only moved out to focus on his kids, but his feelings remained. This gave Todd some hope, but it didn’t mean everything would be okay.
Trouble Brews Again as Priorities Clash
Soon after, things took another turn. During a quiet lunch together, Theo missed a call from his daughter Millie. He dismissed it at first, but when he saw the missed call, he reminded Todd that his kids would always come first.
Todd tried not to take it personally, but doubts began to creep in. Later in the week, he found out Theo didn’t want to spend time with him, and it hit hard when he saw Millie had posted a family photo online, with no sign of Todd in it.
That simple image shook him. He started to wonder: does he really belong in Theo’s life? Or will he always be kept at a distance? Things aren’t looking great for Todd and Theo, but in Coronation Street, you never know what twist is coming next. Stick with Soap Opera Daily for all the latest drama from the cobbles.
