\n\t\tTodd\u2019s had a terrible time of it. (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Dear Coronation Street. Any chance we can give Todd Grimshaw<\/a>\u00a0(Gareth Pierce<\/a>) a break? Apparently not. His abusive husband Theo Silverton<\/a>\u00a0(James Cartwright<\/a>) may be dead, but a face from the monster\u2019s past is about to return the Cobbles to drop a bombshell on Todd\u2019s head. <\/p>\n

Todd\u2019s nightmare at the hands of his tormentor seemed like it might go on forever.<\/p>\n

Every time he tried to escape the violence and the vitirol, Theo would turn on the waterworks, give him excuses and lure him back with false promises, until the toxic cycle started afresh.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Theo
\n\t\tIf Theo couldn\u2019t have Todd, nobody could. (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

A particularly brutal beating forced Todd to confront the reality and report Theo to the police. But Theo wouldn\u2019t take no for an answer and returned to torment Todd further. After a nail-biting final showdown between victim and abuser<\/a>, Theo lay dead on the cobbles, killed by a mystery attacker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now Todd\u2019s in the frame for Theo\u2019s murder, along with his closest friends,George Shuttleworth<\/a>\u00a0(Tony Maudsley<\/a>),\u00a0\u00a0Christina Boyd<\/a>\u00a0(Amy Robbins<\/a>) and Summer Spellman<\/a>\u00a0(Harriet Bibby<\/a>)\u00a0\u2013 not to mention Theo\u2019s former friend and local antihero Gary Windass<\/a>\u00a0(Mikey North<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s one suspect who is definitely not Todd\u2019s friend. Theo\u2019s ex wife Danielle Silverton (Natalie Anderson)<\/p>\n

Danielle didn\u2019t have the best introduction to Todd on her first trip to Weatherfield \u2013 mainly because Theo came out as gay and ended their marriage to be with him.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Danielle
\n\t\tDanielle is not Todd\u2019s biggest fan. (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Since they had two children together, Miles and Millie, Danielle had every reason to be furious and even seduced Todd\u2019s brother Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) just to humiliate him and Theo.<\/p>\n

This did not go well. Danielle reacted badly and was highly offended to be asked such a personal question by a total stranger. Unfortunately, Sarah didn\u2019t have time to pursue the line of questioning, as they were interrupted by Theo and Todd.<\/p>\n

Danielle was invited back to the Cobbles <\/a>by Todd\u2019s bestie\u00a0Sarah Platt<\/a>\u00a0(Tina O\u2019Brien<\/a>), started to suspect that her friend was a victim of domestic abuse and delicately questioned Danielle to see if Theo had ever been violent towards her.<\/p>\n

Danielle was furious at the implication \u2013 without denying it. But before Sarah could do damage control, Todd and Theo arrived. <\/p>\n

Now, as Theo\u2019s murder investigation implicates one of Todd\u2019s closest friends<\/a>, Danielle returns to Weatherfield in upcoming episodes to tear his life apart with a shock allegation.<\/p>\n

As Todd tells Sarah he won\u2019t be attended Theo\u2019s funeral, things only get worse when Danielle shows up and publicly accuses Todd of murdering Theo for his life insurance money.<\/p>\n

When Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) comes to Todd\u2019s defence and suggests she perhaps murdered Theo herself, Danielle storms out in a huff. <\/p>\n

Ryan Connor<\/a>\u00a0(Ryan Prescott<\/a>) follows Danielle out and reveals that he recalls her near the scene of the crime on the night of the murder!<\/p>\n

Was Danielle right about Todd? Did he murder Theo for a fresh start with the life insurance money\u2026 or is that just what Danielle wants people to think?<\/p>\n
