If audiences used to see Theo Silverton as Todd Grimshaw’s ideal lover, now he is becoming the new villain of Coronation Street.

The teasers show Theo often getting angry for no reason, breaking things, and saying things that make others shudder.

What’s even scarier is that Theo always knows how to play on his lover’s emotions: sometimes he gently apologizes, sometimes he turns to blame, making Todd not know what is real and what is fake.

Theo’s manipulation reminds the audience of real-life “gaslighters” – the type of people who make the other person doubt their own feelings.

A special scene was leaked showing Theo shouting loudly in the middle of a bar, causing everyone to fall silent.

Todd stood there, trying to smile awkwardly. That silence not only made the audience suffocate but also signaled a relationship that was going into a dead end. Fans say: “Coronation Street has never been darker, and Theo could be the scariest character this year.”
