We can’t give away the outcome of the ceremony, but in the wake of the emotional whirlwind, Todd is left shaken and struggles to make sense of what happened, feeling fragile.
There’s still tension between him and Theo, who then strops off for a run, leaving Todd alone.
George pops round for a brew, wanting to make sure his mate is okay. When Theo returns to an empty flat, he hears someone in the bathroom and assumes it’s Todd inside.
Theo unleashes a tirade of abuse, but is shocked when George emerges from the bathroom and Todd gets home having nipped out for tea bags.

With Theo’s true colours exposed, will Todd finally explain the extent of his ordeal to George?
“Todd is being pulled in so many directions that there’s going to be a part of him hoping someone can save him and take him out of the situation,” explains Gareth Pierce, who plays the fan favourite.
“Maybe there’s also a part of him fighting for the relationship with Theo, thinking it’s still fixable. Todd’s stress levels and nervous system are at melting point…”
Corrie fans previously saw Billy Mayhew spot the red flags in Theo’s behaviour. Although Billy tried to help Todd leave his abusive partner, the plan was thwarted by the Corriedale crash.
In shocking scenes, Theo left Billy to die – which meant that his sinister secrets were taken to the grave.
Coronation Street is working on Todd and Theo’s story with support from Galop, the LGBTQ+ anti-abuse charity. For more information and resources, visit the charity’s website or contact the national helpline on 0800 999 5428.
