After a series of tense scenes, Coronation Street finally revealed a twist that made everyone breathless: Theo is not only a hot-tempered lover – but also a person with a terrible darkness from the past.

Theo was involved in an extremist religious group, where he was forced to participate in “gender conversion therapy” – a form of psychological torture that made him emotionally distorted.

This made Theo always afraid of being abandoned when in love, always needing to control others to feel safe.

And Todd, sadly, became the new victim of that cycle.

When Todd started keeping his illness a secret, Theo immediately sensed something was wrong. He questioned, threatened, and forbade Todd from going out. The climax happened when Noah Hedley – who knew Theo in the past – suddenly appeared in Weatherfield. Noah brought not only the truth, but also the sins Theo tried to bury. During the confrontation, Noah revealed that Theo had been mentally abusive and used religion to control him.

Todd was stunned. The man he loved turned out to be the one who had hurt others to the point of obsession. But Theo went crazy, blamed Noah for “making things up”, and accidentally punched his son – Miles – right in front of Todd in a fit of rage. The scene left the audience breathless. A punch not only to Miles’ face, but also to the “perfect man” image that Todd had believed in.

Soon after, there were rumors that ITV would release a special episode, delving deeper into Theo’s psychology – between the line between victim and perpetrator. Everything promised to be extremely dark, with a cold tone, heavy soundtrack and stormy lighting. Coronation Street is not just telling a love story, but exposing how love can turn into shackles.
