Weatherfield had barely recovered from the shock of the funeral when the next drama struck.

This time, the focus turned to Theo Silverton — who had a quiet demeanor but was full of mystery.

Audiences have been talking for weeks: Theo is being pushed into a spiral of terrifying accusations related to psychological abuse in his relationship with Todd Grimshaw.

Todd, who is sensitive and vulnerable, is falling into a state of suffocation.

People around him begin to notice suspicious signs: Todd is avoiding, afraid, and stuttering whenever Theo appears. This is what makes the accusations against Theo more weighty. But then a character suddenly speaks up to defend Theo — saying that he is the one who is misunderstood and is under great pressure from another problem.

However, the actor who plays Theo recently revealed that “a big change is coming”, suggesting that the character is about to enter a completely different turn. That makes the audience wonder: is Theo about to be exposed? Or is the screenwriter preparing to turn him from “bad guy” to “love guy”?

It is even more concerning when the details related to the funeral in the previous article show signs of connection to Theo’s story. Some people think that the deceased had a connection to Theo. Others are determined: the previously abused character may have revealed something important right before he died.

Todd is being pushed into a weak position. He has to face obsession, feeling controlled, and suspicion from his own relatives. Some believe that Todd is being emotionally manipulated. Others suspect that Todd is hiding something even more serious.

Theo is on the fence: either he’s the unmasked villain or he’s the victim of a series of misunderstandings. But either way, this psychological abuse drama is shaping up to be the biggest Coronation Street story of the week.
