Todd Grimshaw faces a troubling week on Coronation Street as small disruptions begin to pile up in ways he cannot quite explain. Even though it looks like simple bad timing quickly leads to problems at work and tension at home. Todd senses something is off, but a far bigger turn in his story waits just around the corner.
Theo Creates Friction Between Todd and George
Todd’s difficult week begins at home. While he sleeps, Theo secretly places all of Todd’s clean white shirts into the washing machine. By the time Todd wakes up, his alarm has not gone off, he is running late, and his shirts are stuck mid-cycle. Todd rushes out of the house, unaware that the chaos started with Theo’s quiet interference. This late start causes serious issues with George. A Corrie source explained that George had tried to contact Todd all day with no luck.
When he could not reach him, he decided to replace Todd with Christina to make sure the job got done. Todd remains in the dark about the real reason behind his terrible morning. Theo pretends to support him and encourages him not to accept George’s lecture quietly. The insider shared that Todd listens to Theo and follows his advice. When George later returns to confront him, Todd snaps and argues back instead of trying to explain.
Theo Pushes His Sabotage Further
Theo does not stop at sabotaging Todd’s morning or stirring up trouble with George. He begins to play a more emotional game as well. Todd becomes angry when he discovers that Theo plans to do business with Pete. Pete is the man Theo previously cheated with, and the deal was made without Todd’s knowledge. Theo insists that after Todd’s missed day at work, someone needs to earn a living.
Things escalate again when Theo invites Pete over for dinner. An insider revealed that Pete turning up for tea becomes the final straw for Todd. He puts his foot down and tells Theo he has crossed a line. Todd cannot believe Theo would bring the man he cheated with into their personal space. Theo argues that securing Pete’s business requires him to do whatever it takes. That phrase leaves a worrying question about how far Theo is willing to go.
The next day, Theo turns his attention to Todd’s confidence. He criticises Todd’s junk food habits and claims they affect his decision making. After eating pastries for breakfast, he insists they go for a run. Todd declines, worn out from the constant pressure. Theo says he will run alone and heads out on his own.
During the run, Theo meets James and quickly forms a new connection. Later, Todd regrets turning him down and texts Theo to say he will come along after all. The insider shared that Theo replies it is too late. He brags that he has found a new running partner in James. With James now in the picture and Pete still involved, Theo expands his circle in ways that leave Todd increasingly isolated.
Coronation Street: Theo Tightens His Grip on the Situation
As the days unfold, Theo’s intentions grow clearer. He appears to be acting with a plan rather than reacting in the moment. Sabotaging Todd’s morning, provoking a fight with George, flaunting his connection with Pete, and now forming a bond with James all point to a pattern that weakens Todd one step at a time.
Each move widens the distance between Todd and the people he relies on. His work life, friendships, and relationships begin to strain under the pressure, and Todd has no idea who is creating these problems behind the scenes.
With both Pete and James kept close, Theo gains more influence than Todd realises. The question now is what Theo plans to do next. His actions suggest he is prepared to take things even further. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for the latest Coronation Street news.
