face.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, Danielle made the decision not to let Theo see his kids anymore, leaving him devastated.<\/p>\n<p>In tonight\u2019s episode, Theo was supposed to meet with a social worker to discuss his involvement in Miles and Millie\u2019s lives, but things didn\u2019t go to plan there either.<\/p>\n<p>When the social worker arrived earlier than expected, Theo was keen to rush home from the precinct, only to find a drunk Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) leaning against the van.<\/p>\n<p>As Theo grew more frustrated, Aadi tripped and fell, banging his head in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30_07_coro_theo_danielle_miles_03-e485.jpg\" class=\"article-image

were keen to question him about what had happened at the precinct.<\/p>\n<p>Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) watched Theo get in the police car with concern, before pounding on Todd\u2019s door,

by police<\/a>, the social worker explained that he would have to rearrange the appointment and check that the crime wasn\u2019t violent like before.<\/p>\n<p>This left Todd and Billy confused and concerned, and they were quick to try and find out what he meant.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to the Internet, it wasn\u2019t long before they pulled up an article about a previous arrest.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img

arrested after a violent altercation involving a man and Danielle at a restaurant, but before they could dig into any further details, Theo arrived home.<\/p>\n<p>He explained about the misunderstanding at the precinct, before Billy and Todd came clean about what they had found.<\/p>\n<p>Determined to set the record straight, Theo explained how the man had confronted Danielle about pushing in front of him in a queue, and Theo had lost his temper and thrown a glass.<\/p>\n<p>As Theo assured Todd that the charges had been dropped, he appeared relieved.<\/p>\n<p>Later, at the Rovers, Theo was thrilled to learn that Gary Windass (Mikey North) had corroborated his version of events at the precinct with the police and he was off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"646\"

hidden in his closet.<\/p>\n<p>Despite claiming that things were good between them and inviting Billy to join them for drinks, it became clear that Theo wasn\u2019t happy about Billy\u2019s
