Worrying scenes are set to unfold on Coronation Street next week as Todd Grimshaw finds himself in potential danger from the increasingly volatile Theo Silverton.
Todd's Troubles Deepen
The tension escalates when Todd struggles with the physical demands of the constant running that Theo has been forcing upon him. James Bailey drops by to offer assistance after delivering some equipment, finding Todd in clear discomfort.
During a lunch preparation scene, Todd reveals he's suffering from significant aches and strains in his legs. In a preview clip, viewers see Todd on the floor in his dressing gown while James attempts to ease his leg pains.
The pair share light-hearted banter, with Todd joking that James is torturing him in exchange for a lunch invitation. However, the mood quickly darkens as Theo stares menacingly at them both, his fury visibly building.
Todd notices Theo's angry expression and immediately looks alarmed, swiftly telling James he cannot stay. James takes the hint and makes his exit, joking about Todd needing to wear pants next time.
Theo's Wrath Builds
As James departs completely oblivious to the tension he's caused, Todd finds some relief, commenting that his legs feel much better. But his momentary happiness vanishes when he sees Theo's unimpressed face.
Fearing the consequences after Theo's recent outbursts and controlling behaviour, Todd watches warily as Theo's expression continues to darken. The question remains whether Todd's safety might be at risk given Theo's manipulative and increasingly dangerous nature.
Mysterious Disappearance Causes Concern
In separate drama unfolding on the cobbles, Kit Green grows concerned about his boss, DI Costello, who unexpectedly fails to show up for work.
At the police station, Kit notes that Costello's absence is highly unusual behaviour for his superior. As time passes with no sign of him, Kit questions a colleague about Costello's whereabouts.
While the colleague appears unconcerned, Kit's worries intensify about his boss being AWOL without explanation. His concern proves justified when spoilers reveal that Costello is attacked during his disappearance.
When Kit discovers what has happened to his boss, he immediately informs colleague Lisa Swain about Costello's condition. He then shares his suspicion that Lisa's ex, Becky Swain, might be responsible following recent drama between them.
The situation leaves viewers wondering how Lisa will react to this accusation, and whether Kit might be correct in his suspicions. If he is, he may need to be cautious about confronting Becky directly.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
