Coronation Street has aired some upsetting scenes in the dark Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton storyline, as Todd tried to cover his tracks. George Shuttleworth has tried to help Todd escape from his evil, controlling partner, giving him a holdall with toothpaste, shampoo and money.
However, at the start of tonightâs episode, Theo discovered the bag, and questioned Todd about it. He tried to pass it off as George giving him as present for his move with Theo to Belfast, but it was clear that Theo was on the edge of exploding again.
However, rather than take it out on Todd, Theo headed to the Bistro to plonk the holdall down in front of George.
âThis is yours, isnât it?â Theo asked him aggressively. âDonât look at [Todd], look at me. People go missing, donât they? Is that what you wanted, George? For Todd to go missing, while your backâs turned.â
Theo told George, Christina Boyd, Summer Spellman, and the Platt family gathered about the table that they were moving away to start a new life together, leaving everyone shaken.
To keep the ruse that he was still under Theoâs thumb, Todd hurled insults at his loved ones, telling Sarah she âchanged blokes like you change your knickersâ and accusing Christina of only being with George for the money.
He also told Brian Packham that he wasnât âeven interesting enough to slag offâ.
Todd successfully placated Theo â for the time being â but left his friends devastated. They are still looking out for him, but with the move to Belfast fast approaching, can Todd get out before itâs too late?
