Todd Grimshaw just can’t seem to catch a break on Coronation Street, and the latest episode hints that things with Theo Silverton are about to get even more uncomfortable. Even though it started as little relationship niggles now feels like something much heavier, and viewers will soon see why Todd looks so trapped.
Theo’s Behaviour Keeps Getting Worse
The latest episode continues the show’s domestic abuse storyline involving Todd and Theo. Over the past few weeks, fans have watched Theo’s controlling behaviour get stronger and nastier, especially since the pair moved into their flat together. Todd’s nightmare clearly isn’t calming down. Not long ago, Theo even went after Todd’s friendship with George Shuttleworth, trying to pull them apart in sneaky little ways.
That already worried viewers, because it showed Theo wanted Todd cut off from people who care about him. Now, instead of George, Theo turns his attention back to Billy Mayhew. Everyone knows he has always struggled with Todd’s history with Billy, and that jealousy rears its head again, only this time, it feels more intense.
Todd Gets Hit With New Accusations in Coronation Street
Theo spots Todd and Billy having a friendly chat at the Corner Shop and immediately assumes the worst. As soon as they get home, he starts another attack, saying Todd’s face “lit up” during the conversation. He then brings up Pete and claims Todd flirted with him too, insisting that even if Todd didn’t mean it that way, that’s how it looked. Todd, confused and exhausted, still ends up apologising for something he didn’t even do, another sign that Theo has chipped away at his confidence.
Meanwhile, Theo is secretly messaging Pete to arrange more work together, and he’s keeping Todd completely out of the loop. But this is Weatherfield and secrets never stay buried for long. Theo even finds a way to control Todd through something harmless like exercise, after publicly pushing him into a charity half-marathon last week. What looked supportive at first now feels like another way Theo pulls the strings.
Corrie has confirmed this is all leading to a big, standout episode next month that focuses completely on Todd and Theo’s relationship. Producer Kate Brooks recently said the soap will switch up its usual format for that instalment, using a style viewers haven’t seen before in stories like this, which tells you how seriously the show plans to handle it.
