Todd Grimshaw thought he had drawn a line under Theo Silverton after a shocking clash earlier this week in Coronation Street. But just as he tried to move forward, Theo found a way back in, this time with a lie that pulled Todd straight back into his web.
Theo’s Outburst and Todd’s Refusal
Earlier in the week, Theo turned nasty during an argument, hurling cruel insults before forcing Todd to eat kebab meat. The incident left Todd terrified, and he quickly cut off all contact by ignoring Theo’s messages.
Billy Mayhew later stepped in and urged Todd to hear Theo out. Against his better judgment, Todd agreed. But when Theo refused to accept blame for his actions, Todd ordered him to leave. The scaffolder tried again later, turning up with squashed sweet treats, but Todd walked out on him without a second thought.
Theo Spins a New Story in Coronation Street
Theo wasn’t ready to give up. At the café, he told Billy he planned to see a therapist, though he asked the vicar not to tell Todd. Billy couldn’t keep the secret, and Todd soon found out. Thinking Theo had taken a step towards change, Todd softened. But Theo had never gone near therapy. Instead, he headed to the pub with Gary Windass.
He admitted that he lost his nerve at the tram stop, afraid that once he started talking, he wouldn’t stop, and all of it would be about Noah, a part of his life he wanted to bury. Later that day, Theo crossed paths with Todd and Billy at the Rovers. Todd brought up the supposed therapy, and Theo snapped at Billy for letting it slip. But when Todd praised him for seeking help, Theo leaned into the lie and played along.
Todd Falls For Theo’s Act
Todd told Theo how proud he felt, and Theo saw the perfect chance to push further. He claimed he had sacrificed everything, including his family, to be with Todd, and said therapy was now part of that effort too.
Theo apologised for his earlier behaviour, and to his delight, Todd apologised as well, blaming himself for part of the incident. Back at home, Todd asked about Theo’s next appointment and kept praising him, while Theo continued the pretence without hesitation.
When George Shuttleworth came home and found them kissing, he assumed everything was back on track and said he was pleased to see them happy again. But George didn’t know the truth that Theo had lied from the start. How long before the truth comes out, and what happens when it does?
