Pete’s involvement in Theo Silverton’s storyline has now come to an end, and viewers have already seen his final appearance on the cobbles. The character played a major role in Theo’s betrayal of Todd Grimshaw, and his presence influenced several key moments in the ongoing domestic abuse plot. While the drama between Todd and Theo continues on screen, Pete’s exit has now been confirmed.
Pete Played a Major Role in Todd and Theo’s Story
Pete appeared as Theo Silverton’s business associate and became involved in the storyline when Theo cheated on his partner Todd Grimshaw with him. The affair marked a major moment in the plot and directly affected Todd’s decisions. After finding out about the cheating, Todd kicked Theo out. However, Theo later convinced Todd to let him come back.
Pete later remained involved when Theo forced Todd to help him wine and dine Pete in order to secure a work contract. After pressuring Todd into doing this, Theo accused him of flirting with Pete, despite being the one who had cheated. These scenes brought forth Theo’s behaviour and how he continued to blame Todd.
