Todd Grimshaw<\/a>\u2019s (Gareth Pierce<\/a>) life right now in Coronation Street is utter hell. He\u2019s trapped in a nightmarish relationship with vile abuser, Theo Silverton<\/a>\u00a0(James Cartwright<\/a>), who\u2019s campaign of coercive control and violence has left him broken and isolated.<\/p>\n

What started with subtle manipulation<\/a>; attempting to cut Todd off from his friends<\/a> and control where he goes has given way to violence<\/a>, cheating<\/a> and full scale torture<\/a>, amid the revelation that this behaviour isn\u2019t new to Theo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A special episode, shown through the lens of security cameras, CCTV and bodycam footage gave fans a grim insight into Todd\u2019s reality. <\/p>\n

Amid gaslighting, cruel comments about Todd\u2019s diet and physical violence, the revelation that Theo was tracking Todd led to him finally fighting back and asking Theo to leave.<\/p>\n

Furious Theo goaded Todd into a fight, and when Todd tried to shove him away, Theo collided with a coffee table, rendering him unconscious leading to his arrest.<\/a> Theo, of course, expertly manipulated Todd into believing that he was at fault.<\/p>\n

Without a job and separated from his main sources of support, namely Billy Mayhew<\/a>\u00a0(Daniel Brocklebank<\/a>), George Shuttleworth<\/a>\u00a0(Tony Maudsley<\/a>) and Sarah Platt<\/a>\u00a0(Tina O\u2019Brien<\/a>), and suspected by the police of being an abuser himself, it appears that Todd has really reached rock bottom.<\/p>\n

While attending the Corriedale premier, Gareth shared his thoughts on his alter-egos current predicament: \u2018They don\u2019t always tell us the full arc of a story like this, so as an actor, you\u2019ve got to sometimes try to work out when rock bottom might be. I did feel like that was maybe in last nights episode.\u2019<\/p>\n

On Todd finally standing up to Theo before finding himself in police custody, Gareth mused: \u2018Obviously what\u2019s very sad about that is that in that moment where he fights back, which, I suppose, some viewers will have been willing him to do anyway.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s stayed stoic for a long time \u2013 he does push back and, sadly, the situation actually gets worse and Todd\u2019s maybe doubly trapped now.\u2019<\/p>\n

Set to play a role in the soap event of the century, Corriedale<\/a>, a crossover between ITV\u2019s premiere soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, Gareth spoke on his enthusiasm for the special episode: \u2018It was super exciting, you know? Obviously to hear that it\u2019s one of those brilliant stunt and set pieces. <\/p>\n

\u2018The familiarity of the Corrie set is great, but when they do say you\u2019re going out on location, that\u2019s always exciting. <\/p>\n

\u2018Like the tram crash on Corrie, the plane crash on Emmerdale, we\u2019re actually giving you a whole new crash and crisis of their collective own!\u2019<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Todd
\n\t\tTodd will play a role in the upcoming Corriedale episode (Picture: Danielle Baguley\/ITV)<\/p>\n

We know Corriedale will feature a mammoth car pile up, putting the lives of numerous characters from both shows in mortal danger. <\/p>\n

When pressed about his involvement in the carnage, Gareth was a little coy, though did reveal that he had an easier time of it then some of the other characters!<\/p>\n

\u2018Todd is initially unconscious in the immediate aftermath, so I could start slow and easy, really. <\/p>\n

\u2018There was one bit where we needed everyone to do cut aways of their reactions to the explosion and my big challenge was to not react to the explosion because I was unconscious, and then Tracy Barlow<\/a> jumped on top of me, but that\u2019s another story\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n
