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

Todd’s nightmare at the hands of his tormentor seemed like it might go on forever.

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.
