Coronation Street fans are in uproar, issuing urgent warnings to fan-favourite Todd Grimshaw as his new romance takes a terrifying dark turn! Viewers are convinced the ITV soap is setting the stage for a shocking emotional abuse storyline with his new flame, Theo, leaving them begging Todd to escape before it’s too late.
Theo’s Aggressive Outburst: A Terrifying Warning Sign!
Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), the former bad boy, seems to be wading into increasingly dangerous waters with his new partner, Theo (James Cartwright). After a night out at a drag show, Todd innocently put Theo’s phone on airplane mode, hoping to help him relax. However, this seemingly small act ignited a frightening outburst from the “hunky hot-headed scaffolder,” who had missed crucial calls from the hospital about his daughter.
The confrontation quickly escalated into a chilling display of aggression. When Todd tried to explain, saying, “It was a stupid thing to do. I was eager for you to have a good time, for us both to have a good time. I didn’t think…”, Theo’s response was terrifyingly dismissive and accusatory: “No, you didn’t think. You didn’t think. You don’t have kids, do you? So it’s all about you, yeah. Some of us don’t have that luxury.“
As Todd extended a helping hand, “Let me help you…”, Theo’s anger exploded into a chilling threat: “Don’t you touch me! I’m gonna go to A&E, right? And if you ever come near me again, I’ll knock your teeth out. You make me sick.“
Fans Predict Emotional Abuse & Beg Todd To Escape!
This shocking scene immediately sparked widespread concern among Coronation Street viewers, who took to social media to predict a dark and disturbing emotional abuse storyline between the pair. Fans are desperately warning the undertaker assistant to “run for the hills!”
- One distressed fan wrote: “Please find a great guy for Todd so he can have a nurturing, lasting relationship. Drop Theo. He’s toxic.“
- Another pleaded: “And the worst part about this episode? Theo. Get RID TODD PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.“
- A third concurred: “Theo isn’t in the headspace to be in a relationship and anyone with eyes could see that. Todd should see that. He shouldn’t be in a relationship with Theo at all especially with all this emotional abuse when Theo loses his s*.**”
- Other viewers expressed their fear: “I feel sorry for Todd, Theo is a pain in the a*!**” and “Todd is way too good for Theo. I know Theo is traumatised, conversion therapy is awful, but he’s going to end up hurting Todd badly, maybe even by accident.“
Theo’s Troubled Past and Looming Danger!
The volatile nature of Theo isn’t entirely new; fans were previously stunned to discover he had a wife, Danielle (Natalie Anderson), and a teenage daughter. His family was torn apart after Danielle caught him and Todd passionately kissing. While Theo’s complex background might offer some context, viewers are clear that it does not excuse his threatening and aggressive behavior.
As Theo continues to shake up the cobbles, fans are holding their breath, dreading the potential escalation of this dark dynamic. Will Todd Grimshaw heed the urgent warnings from viewers and escape Theo’s clutches, or is he unknowingly stepping into a dangerous and abusive relationship? The future for this turbulent couple looks bleak, promising even more shocking twists for Weatherfield.
