Noah Hedley’s sudden death has shocked everyone, but instead of pulling Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton closer, it’s driving a wedge between them in Coronation Street. Theo is drowning in grief, Todd can’t understand why, and the fallout is setting them on a path towards even darker trouble.
Theo Breaks Down While Todd Struggles
For weeks now, Theo’s behaviour has unsettled Todd, with his controlling streak keeping Todd away from friends and family. Things only became more strained after Noah’s shock heart attack. Even though Noah was well known as a bully and a homophobic abuser, Theo admitted he felt shaken by the loss. Todd couldn’t get his head around it.
His confusion only grew worse when he overheard Theo comforting his estranged wife, Danielle, who had been in a relationship with Noah right up until his death. Not long after, Todd shared his feelings with Maria Connor at the Rovers. He told her he couldn’t work out why Theo cared so much, calling Noah both a bully and an abusive bigot. Todd even added that they should be celebrating rather than grieving. Maria backed him up, but the timing of the chat would soon backfire.
Coronation Street: Theo Hears Todd’s Brutal Words
As Todd spoke, he didn’t realise Theo had walked in and caught everything. Moments after Todd said Noah deserved to die, Theo revealed he had been standing right behind him. Todd quickly tried to smooth things over. He explained he couldn’t pretend to cry for someone who had ruined so many lives, including Theo’s. But his words didn’t land the way he hoped.
Instead, Theo looked crushed, muttered that he couldn’t believe what he was hearing, and stormed out of the pub. Left rattled, Todd turned to Maria again, but this time she wasn’t so supportive. She reminded him he could have chosen his words more carefully, or even stayed quiet, to avoid making things worse. By then, though, the damage had been done.
A Dark Encounter at the Club
As if the pub row wasn’t enough, things take an even more sinister turn in upcoming scenes. Todd and Theo decide to join friends for a night out in the gay village, and at first it looks like a chance to patch things up.
But that sense of fun doesn’t last. A man named Owen spots Theo across the club, freezes in shock, and hurries out. Suspicious, Theo follows him straight into the bathroom. What happens next shows a side of Theo that Todd has yet to witness, he corners Owen, grabs him, and warns him to stay away.
For now, Todd is completely in the dark. But as every soap fan knows, secrets never stay hidden for long. When the truth about Theo finally comes out, it could destroy their relationship for good. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and spoilers.
