Coronation Street viewers were relieved after Theo finally ended his relationship with Todd, but fans think something else is brewing. Powerful scenes have seen Coronation Street shine a light on the topic of physical and psychological abuse in a same sex relationship.
Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) have taken centre stage in the hard-hitting domestic abuse storyline. We’ve witnessed the harrowing storyline develop from the very beginning. Viewers watched Todd meet Theo, fall head over heels and turn his life upside down with the hopes of finding happiness with Theo.
But Todd had no clue what he was getting himself into, as viewers have watched Theo transform into a terrifying abuser. With intense psychological manipulation as well as domestic violence, it’s been a really difficult watch and many viewers are hoping the storyline will soon come to an end.
Fans were shocked when Theo decided to end the relationship on Tuesday. After spending the night in his van following a nasty argument, Theo told his partner: “We should knock it on the head, finish it or whatever.” He said: “Come on we both know its over. Every nice moment we’ve had has been ruined with a fight.”
The villain added: “I’m sorry for everything” before he gave his engagement ring back to Todd.
While many soap fans were pleased to see Theo end the relationship after months of torture for Todd, other viewers are convinced it’s not over yet.
Taking to social media, viewers said the break-up was “too easy” and think there is more to come.
One said: “What’s Theo up to? That was far too easy…” while a second said: “What? So after all the months of torture, Theo just walks away?”
A third said: “Theo knows full well Todd will beg to get back together. Another twisted part of his evil manipulation!!!!”
A fourth Corrie fan added to the conversation on X: “I’m not complaining but I never thought Theo would break up with Todd!”
More said: “It ain’t over till it’s over and Theo hasn’t finished with us yet!” and “Theo should have been outed for his abuse!”
Now their relationship is finally over, Coronation Street spoilers have recently revealed it’s not quite the end for Todd, as Theo is set to plot his revenge in the lead up to his marathon.
Next week, Glenda sets Todd up on a blind date, while Theo makes it his mission to look like he is having the time of his life while enjoying lunch with Gary.
Coronation Street airs weekdays at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
