“Spoilers for Coronation Street‘s Friday, June 20th episode, now available to watch on streaming service ITVX, have confirmed a huge plot twist involving Millie Silverton’s pregnancy, and it changes everything.”
A CLEAR MOTIVE: FAMILY RUPTURE DRIVES MILLIE TO DESPAIR
Millie Silverton’s family life was torn apart when Danielle Silverton discovered her husband, Theo, was having an affair with Todd Grimshaw. With Theo having moved in with Todd, Millie tried her utmost to convince her dad to move back home, to no avail. The strained dynamic between Theo and Todd, as Theo grapples with his sexuality, only added to the pressure.
SHOCKING REVELATION: THE PREGNANCY WAS A COMPLETE LIE!
In recent scenes, Millie left Todd and her parents stunned when she revealed that she was pregnant. However, in tonight’s episode, a shock twist confirmed that she had been lying.
Todd, concerned for Theo, suggested Millie return home to her mum. Millie agreed and began packing. But when Theo arrived home, Millie lied, claiming Todd told her she wasn’t welcome. She exploited Theo’s vulnerable state, suggesting he should go home with her, which became too much for Theo to bear.
A CUNNING SCHEME: FAKE BUMP AND MANIPULATION
Millie’s intentions towards Todd became clear: she wanted her dad back in the family home where he belonged. The lengths Millie was willing to go to make this happen soon became apparent. While on the phone to her brother, she ordered a fake pregnancy bump online – definitively confirming her pregnancy was a complete lie.
“I’m not a sicko,” she stated, “just desperate to get our family back together.”
THE PRICE OF MANIPULATION: WILL THE TRUTH BE EXPOSED?
Millie’s manipulation didn’t end there. On Theo’s return day, he also faced Billy and Summer in the Rovers about conversion therapy, realizing Todd had been discussing him with others. Theo, furious, confronted Todd, and Millie joined the argument, telling Todd to back off as he was responsible for her dad’s stress.
How long will Millie be able to hide the truth from her dad and Todd? This storyline promises explosive developments and unforeseen consequences as Millie’s deception slowly unravels.
