\n\t\tThe scenes were incredibly difficult to watch (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n
Coronation Street<\/a> fans were left in shock watching Friday\u2019s episode of the ITV<\/a> soap, as they witnessed Theo Silverton<\/a>\u2019s (James Cartwright<\/a>) abuse towards Todd Grimshaw<\/a> (Gareth Pierce<\/a>) increase tenfold.<\/p>\n Things started getting concerning for Todd when Theo began exhibiting controlling behaviour. Viewers then realised where this storyline was heading when Theo made Todd sleep on the sofa in his own home.<\/p>\n Recently, Theo physically abused Todd for the first time by force feeding him to eat a kebab.<\/p>\n \u2018That kebab moment was genuinely scary for Todd, and he\u2019s tried to communicate that to Theo\u2019, star Gareth Pierce said<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018There\u2019s definitely a sense now that Theo is a more physically imposing character than Todd is as well so he\u2019s definitely scared of him physically but there is still love there somewhere in the relationship and Todd feels like he can maybe anticipate or fix Theo.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t On Friday, Todd spent the day with Sarah Platt<\/a> (Tina O\u2019Brien<\/a>) and her lad Harry. Unfortunately, things took a turn when Harry accidentally spilt his drink in Todd\u2019s new car, which was bought for him by Theo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Todd immediately panicked about how Theo would react. When he approached though, Theo took the situation in his stride \u2013 but he was never going to unleash his anger in front of Sarah.<\/p>\n Todd\u2019s day went from bad to worse when he scratched his car after getting the interior cleaned. At the flat, he prepared dinner for Theo, but it ended up on the floor when the scaffolder furiously threw it across the room.<\/p>\n Terrified, Todd tried to apologise, but was subjected to physical abuse from Theo again. He was made to stand in the middle of the kitchen with his eyes closed, and suffered as Theo poured an entire bottle of milk over his head<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t After, audience members from the ITV soap took to social media<\/a> and our Metro Soaps<\/a> Facebook page to express their thoughts. Amid the shock at the latest development, fans couldn\u2019t help wonder about Danielle (Natalie Anderson), Theo\u2019s ex and the mother of his children.<\/p>\n Collette Byrne pondered: \u2018The only thing that confuses me is how he didn\u2019t do this to his wife if this is his nature surely he would have done this to her as well.\u2019<\/p>\n We\u2019re yet to learn from Danielle if Theo abused her, but it\u2019s very possible she just hasn\u2019t opened up about it to anyone.<\/p>\n The chance of this happening was theorised by Metro reader Suzie Mickle, as she wondered whether Danielle will end up saving Todd from Theo, as she reveals she was also abused by him.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m heartbroken for Todd. Great acting from both. He played hot and cold at the start about them getting together, Todd was left confused even back then. Wonder if things will emerge from Theo\u2019s wife?\u2019.<\/p>\n \t\t They added: \u2018Must have been traits there. I think Todd will break down at work and George and probably Billy together will help. Very powerful and emotional acting guys.\u2019<\/p>\n Reflecting on Theo\u2019s ability to switch on his Mr Nice Guy act, fellow Metro reader Grainne O\u2019Donoghue Dignam said: \u2018Was sickening how Theo could act so normally when Sarah arrived at the door like nothing happened, poor Todd.\u2019<\/p>\n Nicky Deacon added: \u2018Thought provoking storyline\u2019.<\/p>\n Jean Evans stated: \u2018That was so upsetting to watch, but both actors played it brilliant.\u2019<\/p>\n Corrie producer Kate Brooks revealed more about the longevity of Todd and Theo\u2019s storyline.<\/p>\n \u2018He [Todd] feels like he can change this man. And he feels like everything that\u2019s happened to Theo in the past has made him this person who is quite horrific, make no bones about it. He does some really, really vile things to Todd, but Todd\u2019s seeing the goodness in him as well.<\/p>\n \u2018He\u2019s seeing the moments when they have fun, and the moments when he absolutely goes above and beyond to make Todd feel protected and loved. There\u2019s a generosity there, and he\u2019s charming to his family.<\/p>\n She added: \u2018And Todd\u2019s not really has a steady relationship before as well. So this is all new ground for him. So it was important to show the building blocks of why people find themselves in these situations.<\/p>\n \u2018And we\u2019ve still got quite a bit of a journey to go on with these two. There\u2019s some quite dark episodes, but very important episodes and very raw episodes, very authentic episodes.\u2019<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Todd](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/10_10_coro_todd_billy_theo_01-0494.jpg\")
