His cruel fianc\u00e9e Theo had already subjected him to every kind of physical and emotional abuse there is. <\/p>\n<p>From using exercise as a means of body-shaming and controlling to force-feeding his terrified partner a kebab, Theo\u2019s torment of Todd knows no end. He has taken a once confident and charismatic out gay man and reduced him to a gaslit, shivering wreck scared to put a foot out of line.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, Theo\u2019s found a new way to be even more hateful.<\/p>\n<p>Since leaving Todd\u2019s ex, friend and <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/01\/10\/todd-hit-fresh-agony-coronation-street-following-billys-death-26151817\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sole confidante Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank)<\/a> in the Corriedale crash, Theo\u2019s been more insecure and paranoid than ever. Desperate to stop Todd from slipping away, Theo resorted to financial abuse. He pressured Todd into cutting up his credit card and agreeing to a join bank account.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, this video isn&#8217;t available any more.<\/p>\n<p>With Theo\u2019s hands on the purse strings, Todd is <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/02\/10\/todd-takes-a-big-risk-coronation-street-hides-dangerous-secret-evil-theo-26815824\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">forced to live on a pittance<\/a> and barely has enough to get by. Spending every penny has to be signed off by Theo, who is quick to judge Todd for his reckless spending.<\/p>\n<p>The financial abuse is just another way for Theo to instil the fear of God in Todd, making him constantly second-guessing himself over how to please his toxic partner.

Todd sheepishly tells Nick that he\u2019s only got \u00a380. Throwing Todd a filthy look, Theo pays with his card leaving Todd humiliated.
