The latest drama in Coronation Street has sparked strong reactions from fans, particularly surrounding the increasingly controversial character, Theo. The volatile nature of his storyline has caused a stir on social media, with many viewers pleading for his departure from Weatherfield.
One fan expressed their frustration, saying, “Can’t abide Theo. Not only does he have the personality of a wet dishcloth, but he’s showing definite anger issues and coercive control tendencies… Surely Todd can’t be THAT desperate??? #corrie.” The backlash was clear, with many unable to empathize with Theo’s behavior, and some questioning Todd’s desperation in getting involved with him.
However, it’s not all negative. A number of fans have found Theo’s unraveling character intriguing. “Theo is completely unhinged—he’s turning into a brilliant villain. Poor Todd,” one viewer wrote. Another added, “Never thought I’d be on Theo’s side, but deck him,” showing that while some are frustrated with his actions, others are entertained by his turn into a villainous role.
Theo’s latest altercation with a drunken Aadi has thrown his life into chaos, as he misses a crucial appointment with a social worker who is assessing whether he can see his children. This incident raises the stakes for Theo, and his inability to control his emotions continues to fuel his downward spiral.
Billy Mayhew and Todd, upon seeing Theo being taken away by the police, did some digging online, uncovering a previous assault charge linked to him. This revelation only adds fuel to the fire, leaving fans to wonder just how deep Theo’s past really goes, and whether it’s time for his character to be written out of Coronation Street for good.
With his reputation further tarnished, Theo’s future on the cobbles is looking increasingly uncertain. Will fans get their wish, or will his presence continue to stir up drama in Weatherfield?
