If Abi is the character representing pain, Theo Silverton is the embodiment of intrigue and duplicity in Coronation Street.

Initially, the audience is easily attracted by Theo’s calm and sincere appearance.

But as time goes on, that mask gradually falls off, revealing a man with too many secrets.

In his love story with Todd Grimshaw, Theo always appears gentle and knows how to comfort.

But the appearance of his ex-wife Danielle and two children Millie and Miles makes the “new family” picture no longer peaceful. Millie and Miles constantly object, considering Todd as an “interloper”, making the relationship between Todd and Theo increasingly tense. In particular, Millie also made up a story about being pregnant to manipulate, put pressure on her father and destroy the relationship between Theo and Todd.

Not stopping there, Theo’s dark past also comes back to haunt him when Noah Hedley suddenly appears. This man is associated with a part of Theo’s life that he wants to bury – related to the scandalous conversion therapy. Noah is not only a shadow from the past, but also like a time bomb, which can destroy the new life that Theo is trying to hold on to.

While Todd is immersed in love, few people realize that Theo is cleverly manipulating everything to his advantage. From creating a feeling of pity, to controlling information, he gradually turns Todd into a puppet in a conflicted relationship.

Will Todd wake up in time to see Theo’s true face? Or will blind love push him into a trap with no way out? A confrontation between truth and lies will definitely make the audience “hold their breath” in the upcoming episodes.
