Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ Theo’s real plan for Todd and it won’t end well

Coronation Street has been airing more worrying scenes between Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton

Coronation Street fans are convinced they have rumbled Theo Silverton’s next plan.

Only recently, Todd, played by Gareth Pierce, has found himself in an abusive and manipulative relationship with new partner Theo, played by James Cartwright.

On Monday’s episode, Theo coerced Todd into training for a half marathon as he kept forcing him to run despite Todd struggling.

Later in the week, things go from bad to worse when Theo drags a full length mirror out and explains to Todd that now he can keep a daily check on his physique.

And when James Bailey innocently flirts with Todd, later dropping over some fitness gear, an irritated and jealous Theo accuses Todd of fancying James before venting his anger.

In spoilers for next week, we see the fallout of Theo’s actions once again as he makes Todd stay hidden in the flat for a few days so people won’t see his injuries and jump to the wrong conclusion, leaving his loved ones concerned over his ‘disappearance’.

Soap watchers will recall that throughout their relationship, Theo has been jealous of Todd’s best friend and ex Billy Mayhew, played by Daniel Brocklebank.

Daniel, 45, announced earlier this year that he was leaving the cobbles as Billy after 11 years. Soap watchers now think Theo could kill Billy out of jealousy and frame Todd.

Taking to social media, one person said: “Does anybody else think Theo will kill Billy and frame Todd and we’ll have a other innocent person in prison story.”

To which a different account replied: “Nothing would surprise me with Theo, he’s capable of anything, so you could be right, but I certainly hope not”, another put: “I think Theo kills Billy, but not sure on the Todd bit” while a different fan added: “Yes theo kill billy not sure if blame todd.”

Another soap watcher wrote: “I was thinking that myself, corrie always put innocent people in prison”, a different viewer commented: “That was my first thought” while another added: “I hope not Todd has been through enough.”

Meanwhile, a different viewer had a completely different theory: “The other way round billy will kill Theo and admit to it thus goes to jail will leave open for him to return if the show is still going.

“Won’t get long in jail the jury will see how horrible Theo was to many people he abused will come forward.”

It remains to be seen what happens next but viewers are hoping Todd escapes and Theo gets his comeuppance.

Coronation Street continues on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV and ITV X.
