OMG SHOCKING!!! Coronation Street confirms another returning character in Theo’s dark storyline

Coronation Street villain Theo Silverton is reunited with another family member next week – but one of his biggest enemies is determined to ruin things.

Hot on the heels of Theo’s ex-wife Danielle paying a visit to Weatherfield last Friday, his teenage son Miles is next on the scene.

Young actor Lewis William Magee has reprised his role as Miles for another episode, following on from his appearances in the earlier stages of Theo’s storyline.

Miles reappears just as Theo’s ongoing feud with Carl Webster is reaching fever pitch. With everyone in Weatherfield now aware of what Theo is capable of, Carl is determined to find a way to make him suffer.

Carl goads Theo in the hope of provoking him into violence and getting him arrested, but whether the scheming scaffolder will rise to the bait remains to be seen.

Later in the week, a homeless Theo crawls out of his van – still casting a sinister shadow over Weatherfield even though nobody wants him around.

“It’s at this point that Miles heads over for a chat with his dad,” explains our Corrie source. “He’s horrified to see the state of him, though – Theo clearly isn’t his usual self now that he has nowhere to live and everyone has turned against him.

“Feeling desperate, Theo then seizes this chance to get back in his estranged family’s good books – anything to find a new place to stay!”

Theo suggests that Miles could speak to Danielle on his behalf and find out whether they can all try again as a family.

Overhearing this, Carl is shocked and sees an opportunity to finally get one over on Theo. Who’ll come out on top between the two enemies?

James Cartwright, who plays Theo, recently told Inside Soap: “It’s two villains head-to-head competing for the top spot, if you will. It’s like two silverback gorillas in the jungle. When two silverbacks fight, whoever wins, that silverback then takes all of the other silverback’s family. They take everything that they own.

“I feel it’s a bit like that with Theo and Carl. It’s a ‘winner takes all’ situation. They’re starting to dislike each other now, but that turns to real hate…”

Coronation Street villain Theo Silverton puts Todd Grimshaw through hell yet again next week – just as Sarah Barlow cottons on to the scaffolder’s shifty behaviour. After watching Theo climb into a van with Pete – aka the fella that he cheated on Todd with – Sarah marches over to have a word.

Through the van window, Sarah demands answers, but things quickly spiral out of control, leading Sarah to square up to both men. It seems Sarah finally may have Theo’s number – but it’s bad news for Todd, as his boyfriend tales his anger out on him once again…

The week begins with Todd accusing Theo of forcing him into a half marathon, but the dad-of-two coldly claims that it’s in his best interests and that he’s organised a run for them later that day.

Subsequently, Theo unveils a full-length mirror in front of Todd, claiming that he can use it to keep an eye on his physique. Bound to Theo’s controlling routine, Todd soon heads out on another run, which pushes him to the point of exhaustion.

Before Todd and Theo make it back to the flat, James Bailey catches sight of them and throws a flirty comment in Todd’s direction. Immediately, Theo makes his partner pay for James’s behaviour by demanding that they do another lap.

Back at the flat, James unexpectedly turns up with fitness equipment and insists on showing Todd how best to use it. During the demonstration, Theo can barely contain his frustration but somehow manages to keep a lid on his temper until he and Todd are alone.

With James gone, Theo cruelly accuses Todd of having a crush on James. Todd swears that it’s not true, but it’s not enough to quash Theo’s twisted theory.

As Theo grips Todd by the neck, just how violent will things become? And might Sarah be on the verge of working out the truth about her best mate’s volatile fella?

“As we move further along we’re starting to see that Theo’s not just a complicated man, he’s potentially a very dangerous man,” explains James Cartwright, who plays the abuser.

“The flaws and the damage within him are now manifesting in a way that I’m not even sure he can control. And it’s potentially putting people at risk…”
