Coronation Street is set to reveal Theo Silverton’s big secret next week amid his romance storyline with Todd Grimshaw.

The two characters appear to have been forming a connection since Theo’s recent arrival on the cobbles, though the newcomer has been giving mixed signals.

However, in scenes airing this week, the two will spend the afternoon in bed together after sharing a passionate kiss.

While Theo admits he fancies Todd, he later tells him he wants to take a low-key approach as his life is complicated. After rushing out, Todd is later left baffled when Theo goes cold on him again.

In follow-on scenes due to air on Monday (April 7), Theo goes up to Todd on the street and apologises for his behaviour, reaffirming that he really likes him. Todd then decides to invite Theo back to the house.

Later on, Theo arrives at Shuttleworths to arrange a funeral, which takes Todd aback, and he’s further shocked when he learns Theo’s secret.

What has he discovered?

Todd tells Billy about what was revealed when he gets back home, Billy suggesting that he steer clear of his new romantic interest.

Theo later knocks on the back door, angering Billy – but will he speak his mind after learning Theo’s secret?

Downton Abbey‘s James Cartwright was recently cast as Theo and teased what fans could expect from his scaffolder character.

“I think Theo is a good guy, he comes in with the best of intentions, as most people do, but he may upset some people with his behaviour,” he said.
