OMG SHOCKING!!! Coronation Street’s Todd goes to extreme lengths to escape Theo
Judgement day is about to arrive for one of Coronation Street’s villains.
The previously announced ‘whodunnit’ will finally reveal the victim next week, after months of clues, misdirects and fans theorising who’ll end up as Corrie’s latest donation to the morgue.
Boiler of bunnies, Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), master of sleaze, Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), slayer of husbands Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), psychopathic abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) and grotesque paedophile, Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) are all on the chopping block.
Next week will see each of the filthy five take centre stage on Monday through Thursday, while Friday will see the climax, with one of them guaranteed to take up their pre-booked place in hell when the week ends.
Kicking things off on Monday, though, is monstrous Theo who, now exposed for the violent and psychotic abuser he is, has come fully unhinged.
After months of every conceivable form of abuse and torture, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) finally sought to escape his living hell and break free from Theo, though Theo wasn’t willing to retract his claws from his ‘beloved’s’ body so easily, and unleashed a beating on him so savage that it rendered him hospitalised with a lacerated spleen.
Barely able to stand on his own two feet, Todd made it to Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien), pleading to be taken to the police station, where he finally opened up about all the pain and suffering that Theo had inflicted on him to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).
This week sees George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) unleash on Theo after he terrorises Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) with the truth of his killing of Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), making it perfectly clear that if he continues to hurt the people George loves, he’ll suffer.
Meanwhile, Todd is planning to leave for Thailand to visit his mum and brother, Eileen and Jason (Sue Cleaver and Ryan Thomas), though it’s painfully apparent that Theo doesn’t plan on letting Todd go anywhere.
Next week, in their flat, Todd is struck with abject terror as Theo emerges, holding his suitcase. Though George arrives in the nick of time to protect a defenceless Todd, things turn violent quickly, but they manage to escape.
Coronation Street Soap Scoop! Todd reports Theo
Coronation Street will reveal a horrifying outcome in the latest development in the issue-based storyline involving Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton, which has seen the latter abuse his husband.
After months of coercive control, Theo has resorted to violence recently, though several Weatherfield residents have become suspicious and attempted to help Todd. Feeling the pressure, Theo has tried to relocate to Belfast with his husband.
After he issued an ominous warning to the concerned Sarah Platt, Theo took an even more sinister route during Sunday’s (12 April) episode of the ITV soap as he held Todd prisoner in his own room ahead of their move.
Today’s follow-up will begin with Todd remaining trapped in the room, with Theo explaining that he cannot let him out for the fear that his husband will leave him. He will spiral out of control, and flick between praising and admonishing Todd.
Sarah, Summer Spellman and George Shuttleworth all attempt to visit Todd, though Theo lies and says that they have already left for Belfast. Todd pleads with Theo to let him out, and says he will back up his story.

Todd calls Sarah and keeps up the lie, and reassures a tearful Theo. He says that they are a “team” and will work through their issues, and suggests that they catch a ferry to Belfast later in the day.
Summer, meanwhile, has her suspicions about Theo confirmed, with Carl Webster telling her that Theo was responsible for the death of Billy Mayhew. He offers to track Theo down, but only if she pays him £10,000.
Back at the flat, Theo is all smiles and heads for a shower, with Todd sensing an opportunity to make a run for it. He can’t find the keys, with Theo emerging from the bathroom before he can escape.
Theo loses his temper, and it later becomes evident that he has heavily beaten his husband. A bloodied Todd makes his way to Sarah’s flat, and wearily asks if he can be taken to the police station ahead of Wednesday’s (15 April) special episode.
