While Todd runs for his life, Theo Silverton — who once seemed like the perfect boyfriend — is officially revealed as one of the season’s darkest villains.

Early episodes on ITVX show Theo slipping into a psychological darkness that will make even the audience shudder.

Theo is more than just a controller — he’s obsessive, jealous, overconfident, and convinced Todd “belongs to him.”

When Todd tries to leave, Theo breaks every remaining moral boundary.

He throws things, smashes mirrors, smashes tables, and roars like a wild animal. When he stands in front of the mirror, his face twitches, his lips quiver, his eyes glaze over — the audience knows this is more than just anger. This is the complete downfall of a dangerous psychopath.

The most dangerous character is not the one who punches or strangles, but the one who loves obsessively — and is willing to “eliminate” anyone who stands between them and their emotional target. In many scenes, Theo whispers to Todd in his sleep: “No one loves you like I do.” A sweet but poisonous line.

When Todd disappears from home, Theo loses all reason. He goes around the streets, calling constantly, knocking on doors, asking each person if they have seen Todd. At one point, he stands in the middle of the street, mumbling: “You can’t leave me. No one leaves me.”

The scariest scene is when Theo returns home, looks at the blood on his hands, and… smiles. Not a happy smile — but a crazy one. A smile that sends chills down the spine.

Coronation Street is playing big: turning Theo into a dangerous villain — not because of his physical strength, but because of his psychological distortion. A time bomb lies in the middle of the street.
