Jealous Theo Silverton issues Todd Grimshaw with an ultimatum on Coronation Street next week, as he orders his boyfriend to choose between him and best pal Billy Mayhew.
Theo has been slowly trying to distance Todd from everyone he cares about, but will his latest attempt to control his boyfriend’s life backfire?

“Theo doesn’t want Todd’s attention to be on anyone else but him,” our Corrie source explains.
“He’s already threatened to leave their relationship and makes it quite clear if Todd chooses Billy’s friendship over him, then they’re finished.”
As the week kicks off, Theo gets another attack of the green-eyed monster when Gemma Winter-Brown reveals Todd and Billy will both be at the birthday drinks to commemorate her late brother Paul Foreman.
Theo hides his annoyance in front of Gemma, but hatches a plan to stop Todd attending.
Todd returns home later to find Theo cooking a curry. He explains he’s off to the pub to raise a toast to Paul, but Theo emotionally blackmails him to staying in, claiming he’s concerned about his kids.
The next day, it seems Theo’s worries are founded when Todd and Billy see Theo’s young son Miles helping Noah hand out leaflets.
Billy warns Miles he’s being brainwashed by the bigoted therapist, and needs to stop lashing out at those who care about him. His words resonate and Miles later accompanies Todd and his dad to Summer’s party.
But a shock turn of events leads Theo to decide he doesn’t want Billy anywhere near his loved ones – particularly Todd.
“Theo tells Todd he has a choice to make – it’s either him or Billy,” our insider adds. “Todd is left with a decision to make, and either way someone is going to get hurt.”
Will manipulative Theo get what he wants?
