There was more than just casual conversation happening at the Rovers this week, at least according to Coronation Street viewers. A quiet drink between Todd Grimshaw and James Bailey quickly had fans talking. Many noticed a new spark that felt more genuine than anything Todd has had with his current partner.
A Surprising Catch-Up
Wednesday night’s episode showed Todd heading to the pub after another argument with Theo Silverton. Needing a break, he joined James, who is also single again, for a drink. As they opened up about their messy relationships, the conversation flowed, and so did the chemistry.
It didn’t take long for fans to see how natural everything looked between them. On social media, many quickly pointed out how comfortable Todd appeared with James, especially compared to how nervous he seems with Theo.
One fan wrote that Todd and James had more chemistry in a single episode than Todd and Theo have had in months. Another suggested that Todd should leave Theo and his “evil daughter” behind to start fresh with someone like James. Others agreed, saying the two seemed like a better couple even after just one conversation.
Though James supported Theo during the chat, the way the scene unfolded and some behind-the-scenes teasing have viewers wondering if something is on the way.
Romance Rumors Intensify in Coronation Street
Actor Jason Callender, who plays James, recently hinted at a big plot twist for his character. In an interview with Inside Soap, he mentioned that James will soon be involved in a new romance that viewers won’t see coming.
He said he was shocked when he first heard about it. He was so excited he even asked if they could pursue that storyline. Fans now believe Todd might be the next person James gets attached to. After all, their pub conversation felt too significant to overlook.
Meanwhile, things are not going well between Todd and Theo. In upcoming episodes, Todd secretly puts Theo’s phone into airplane mode when they go out one evening. What he thinks is a playful gesture soon turns serious. Theo misses important calls from his wife, Danielle, whose daughter Millie has been rushed to the hospital.
That one choice has serious consequences. As Todd and Theo’s relationship hits another rough patch, new possibilities arise since James is back on the scene. Whether this leads to a new friendship or something more, viewers are eagerly watching to see what happens next.
