Coronation Street Spoiler: Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton – when new love becomes a double-edged sword
While Carla and Lisa are still struggling with the storm, another tragedy is brewing: Todd Grimshaw and his new lover – Theo Silverton.
After a series of seemingly peaceful days, Todd discovers that Theo is not as “single” as he thought.
Theo revealed that Theo used to have a wife and two children, but he deliberately hid that past to start over with Todd.
When the truth was revealed, Todd completely collapsed.

A behind-the-scenes source said that the scene where Todd throws all of Theo’s things out of the house was filmed with extreme emotion – actor Gareth Pierce had to re-enact it three times to achieve “real pain”.
Todd, who has suffered too many emotional failures, is now faced with the choice: forgive Theo, or cut him off completely. But what makes things worse is: Theo refuses to let go. He begs for a chance, even threatening to harm himself if Todd leaves him.
Viewers were left shaken by this development – because it touched on a very real topic: emotional violence in same-sex love. Some fans commented: “Todd always chooses the one who needs saving, but this time it is he who needs saving.”
The episode ended with Todd standing alone in a dark apartment, looking at the message “I’m sorry, I just want you to believe me one more time” – as the screen faded out. People believed that this was just the beginning of the tragedy – when “good people” can also be deeply hurt.
