Coronation Street is heading into a tense set of episodes as Christina becomes increasingly drawn into Todd’s troubling situation. With his behaviour growing harder to ignore and strange moments raising red flags, Christina soon finds herself closer to the truth than ever but without any idea of just how dangerous things have become behind closed doors.
Christina Notices Something Isn’t Right
In the latest instalment, Theo, whose behaviour recently escalated into physical violence, urges Todd to stay hidden inside their flat so that neighbours won’t notice his injuries. Christina, George and Sarah remain completely unaware of what is happening, and life on the Street carries on around them while Todd does everything he can to keep up appearances.
Things become even more complicated when Dev pops in unexpectedly. Caught off guard, Todd lies to cover his tracks, claiming he has been in London and blaming the cut on his head on a drunken afternoon.
Christina continues to assume nothing is wrong, but Todd’s awkward behaviour hints that he is struggling to maintain the façade. Later in the episode, Theo gives Todd a fitness watch and pushes him to increase his half-marathon training. The pressure results in a painful 10k run that leaves Todd barely able to move. Christina spots him afterwards and immediately invites him in for a comforting cuppa, unaware that Theo is watching from a distance. Todd’s pain and silence only fuel her concern, though she still has no idea what he is hiding.
Coronation Street: Christina Finds Todd in Agony
Next week’s scenes confirm that Christina will discover Todd in severe discomfort after Theo forces him through the gruelling run. The moment marks a turning point, as she becomes the first person to see just how unwell he is. While Todd tries to brush it off, Christina’s instincts tell her something isn’t adding up. Producer Kate Brooks recently spoke about the storyline and explained that the people who care about Todd, including Christina, remain completely in the dark.
She noted that the situation will shift dramatically once someone finally catches a glimpse of what has been happening behind closed doors, suggesting that Christina’s growing suspicion could be the beginning of that process. Brooks also said the show is not presenting Todd and Theo as a couple viewers should support. She revealed that the intention is for the audience to root for Todd’s wellbeing, and for him to eventually recognise that Theo’s behaviour is unacceptable. Christina’s role becomes more significant as she unknowingly edges closer to the truth.
Looking ahead, Brooks hinted at a major Christmas episode focused primarily on Todd and Theo’s relationship. With the storyline intensifying, Christina’s concern is no longer something Todd can easily avoid and it may only be a matter of time before she refuses to accept his excuses.
