Todd Grimshaw thought he might have finally found someone who truly understood him in Coronation Street. But recent events have hinted that this new romance could be hiding something far more troubling. As Theo Silverton continues to show his true colours, things may soon spiral beyond Todd’s control.
A Complicated Past Comes to the Surface
When Todd first crossed paths with Theo back in March, there was instant chemistry. Theo, a charming scaffolder, brought a new spark into Todd’s life. But it wasn’t long before things got complicated. The seemingly single Theo turned out to be married to Danielle, with whom he shared two children. Todd’s hopes were quickly dashed when Danielle discovered the affair.
What followed was a painful revelation. Theo opened up about his deeply repressed past, admitting he’d spent years hiding his sexuality. He told Todd how his strictly religious parents had pushed him into conversion therapy in his youth. It painted a picture of a man still carrying emotional scars, and Todd, ever the empath, seemed willing to look past the warning signs.
Just days ago, a fresh twist arrived. Todd discovered that Theo’s daughter, Millie, had fabricated a pregnancy story. Rather than admitting the lie herself, Millie accused Todd of pressuring her into an abortion. Initially, Theo lashed out at Todd but after confronting the situation, he realised his daughter was the one who had been dishonest.
But Theo’s temper didn’t end there. That same evening, he caught James Bailey drunkenly trying to kiss Todd and reacted with open aggression. Theo warned James coldly that if he caught him sneaking around Todd again, their next exchange wouldn’t just be verbal.
James Cartwright Breaks Silence Regarding Coronation Street Storyline
With Theo’s behaviour growing increasingly unpredictable, many viewers have grown concerned for Todd’s safety. And now, actor James Cartwright, who plays Theo, has spoken publicly about where the storyline is heading.During an appearance on Lorraine this week, presenter Lorraine Kelly hinted at what’s to come. “You can’t tell us too much, but it is going to get a little bit dark with you and the triangle and Todd,” she said.
James didn’t deny it. He agreed, explaining that Theo is a “very complicated man” and while he doesn’t believe the character is malicious, he’s also not stable. “I don’t think he’s a psychopath or a sociopath or anything like that,” he said, “but he’s a complicated man.” He added that people with deep emotional baggage are difficult to change.
What Lies Ahead for Todd?
As the relationship between Todd and Theo deepens, danger may not be far behind. With Theo showing signs of emotional volatility, Todd could be placing himself in harm’s way, despite his best intentions. And while he’s tried to be understanding, the latest events hint that Theo’s instability could soon escalate into something much darker.
Fans have already seen hints of Theo’s darker side. Now, it’s just a matter of time before everything boils over. Will Todd manage to escape before it’s too late? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
