đ„ UNMASKING THE MONSTER: THE SH0CKING DOWNFALL OF WEATHERFIELDâS ULTIMATE VILLAIN THEO SILVERTON! đ„
Coronation Street is set to air âcatastrophicâ scenes for Theo Silverton as he is finally caught out. The villain has been abusing partner Todd Grimshaw behind closed doors, though has been charming his loved ones amid the dark truth.
Scenes next week will see him try to get even more control over Todd when he springs a surprise wedding after cruelly sabotaging Toddâs marathon plans by drugging him.
Under Theoâs control again, Todd gives him another chance â which raises red flags for George.
Theo then takes his partner to the registry office, noting it is the day that wouldâve been their wedding before their recent split. Theo confirms that he didnât cancel the original slot â but will Todd be railroaded into marriage?
While George and Christina are on his case, Theo actor James Cartwright revealed his character is ânot too worriedâ at the moment around the suspicions.
âItâs something he definitely needs to keep an eye on, because out of everyone, George is the person who could really throw a hand grenade in the hearth,â he explained.
âHeâs a very strong person with a great moral compass, and George and Christina are not the sort of enemies that Theo wants. He needs to launch a charm offensive to try and bring them back on side. He doesnât need them meddling in Toddâs ear.â
Sure enough, Theoâs true colours are exposed to George in the aftermath of the ceremony (the outcome of which remains under wraps for now) as he pops round to the flat to check on Todd.
Theo returns, and while hearing someone in the bathroom assumes itâs Todd, unleashing a tirade of abuse towards him. However, he gets a shock when George emerges, while Todd returns having bought some tea bags.
âThe gameâs up, isnât it?â James said, adding that this âcould be the beginning of the endâ and âthe toothpaste out the tubeâ for his character.
âTheoâs mask has slipped, somebody else has seen it, and heâll never be able to undo that,â he added. âThe damage is really catastrophic for Theoâs reputation.
âHis public perception is really damaged so from here on in, itâs going to be a real uphill battle to try and get George back on side. Heâs seen that side of Theo, he may have suspected it was there, but now heâs had it confirmed.â
