Coronation Street aired a worrying cliffhanger for Todd Grimshaw as Theo Silverton issued a threat to another Weatherfield resident.

The pair have become close in recent months, though their blossoming relationship has been far from smooth sailing due to Theo’s repression of his sexuality, which was caused by both his upbringing and current family life.

To confuse matters even more, Theo’s daughter Millie revealed that she was pregnant, though it soon became apparent to viewers that she was fabricating the story in order to bring her father back to the family home.

Monday’s (30 June) episode began with Theo cooking breakfast for both Todd and Millie, with the latter being disappointed that her father wasn’t coming on a family holiday. Theo was later called to the school to talk about Millie’s absences, worrying her even further.

As Todd and Millie headed to the café, he called her bluff and shared that he knew she had been lying about the pregnancy, with Millie admitting that she had “panicked” after Theo left the family home.

Millie seemingly agreed to Todd’s proposal of taking another pregnancy test and passing the original off as a false positive, though he did urge her to stop meddling in his relationship with Theo, adding that they made each other “happy”.

Todd got a shock, however, as Millie lied that she had been to an abortion clinic at his request. Though he initially accused Todd of lying, Theo finally saw sense and realised that his daughter was the one who hadn’t been telling the truth.

Stung by Theo’s accusations, Todd headed for a pint at the Rovers, where he was joined by James Bailey. The pair went back to Todd’s place and almost shared a kiss, with Theo walking in as they hugged.

Despite initially seeming calm, Theo suggested that Todd stay away from both Millie and James. Theo later had a word with James, menacingly ordering him to stay out of his “business” under the threat that they would be “exchanging more than words”…
