Coronation Street confirms dark Theo scenes in ITVX release as discovery is made
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Coronation Street that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
Dark scenes have aired in Coronation Street tonight, and they've left us very worried about Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).
Todd's new relationship with Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has faced many challenges so far, but he's remained determined to get through them.
As a result of the fact Theo spent the majority of his life concealing his sexuality, he was in a relationship with a lady called Danielle (Natalie Anderson). Following the developments regarding Theo, Millie – their daughter – has struggled to accept her dad is no longer in love with her mum.
In recent scenes, the teen convinced herself that faking a pregnancy would bring her dad back to the family home, and that Todd would eventually become a distant memory. Millie's lie didn't go on for very long, however, due to Todd spotting her drinking alcohol last week.
Todd confronted Millie in this evening's episode, but wanted to try and help her. In the café, Todd pointed out that it would be better to confess the truth now, rather than allow the lie to spiral completely out of control.
A while later, Todd returned home and was faced with an angry looking Theo. He said that Millie had just told him about being forced into having an abortion…by Todd.
He was utterly horrified by the lie. Todd defended himself by saying that Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) would remember seeing them in the café, and very nearly displayed a time-stamped receipt. Just before he did though, Theo revealed that he knew about Millie's false story.
This left Todd in a confused state, as he could not understand why Theo would make him feel this way, if he knew about Millie's plan already.
As Theo took Millie home, Todd ended up getting drunk with James Bailey (Jason Callender).
James tried to make a move on Todd, but he pushed him away. Unfortunately, this situation happened just as Theo returned.
Todd did his best to reassure Theo and said he wasn't interested in James. Theo laughed about the chaos of his day, and then told Todd that he would keep Millie away from him for a little while, if he kept his distance from James.
Todd, again, was puzzled, but agreed.
Outside, James approached Theo and checked in on Millie and Todd. In a huge twist, Theo threatened James, saying that if he didn't back off Todd, they'd be exchanging more than just words in the future.

The development of this storyline was something Gareth Pierce spoke about recently. More Trending
'He's trying to be understanding of Theo', he said.
'He's been suppressing his sexuality for so long, Todd is trying to encourage him towards being someone that can be comfortable in their new gay identity.
'I think Todd has spotted many things from Theo, but he still has the mindset that he can fix this and because of the love that's there, he's thinking they will get through it.

'Our audience are probably also spotting some of those flashes of jealousy and perhaps a kind of need to control that maybe Todd is not currently spotting or doesn't want to spot.'

EastEnders fans discover BBC soap star is 90s comedy legend
Villains are killed off and others jet off abroad in search of a new life, making way for new talent to arrive on Albert Square. Among the most recent confirmed exits on the BBC soap include Molly Rainford, known for playing Queen Vic barmaid Anna Knight. But there's one former resident of Walford who has recently been appearing in the classic EastEnders episodes, and fans are shocked to realise she was also a 90s comedy legend. EastEnders' Top 5 Villains EastEnders fans discover Queenie Trott actress is 90s comedy star It comes as someone said in a throwback post on Reddit: 'Classic EE: I just realised who Queenie Trott was! 'She used to star in comedy show Keeping Up Appearances playing Daisy in the 90s. 'Judy Cornwell (who played Heather's Mum) only lasted 8 episodes (2007-08) and her last appearance was only this week after seeing her daughter getting married to Minty (fake or real). 'Was it just me, or did anyone else knew who she was?' Queenie Trott was played by Judy Cornwell, who joined the programme in 2007 and was the mother of Heather Trott. However, in 2008, Queenie exited the BBC soap as part of a storyline that saw Heather marry her fiancé, Minty Peterson. When Heather was murdered on EastEnders in 2012, Queenie didn't attend her funeral. Yet before her role on EastEnders, Judy took on the character of Daisy, who was the sister of Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge) and was married to Onslow (Geoffrey Hughes) on Keeping Up Appearances. Reacting to the discovery of Judy's role as Daisy in the BBC sitcom (from 1990 to 1995), someone responded to the original post on the subreddit r/eastenders: 'And the penny drops!!!! Thank you!!' This person commented: 'What a great actress, those two characters are worlds apart.' Someone else put: 'I knew who she was, always liked Onslow and Daisy lol.' Meanwhile, one fan revealed: 'She also played Mrs. Musgrove in the 1995 film 'Persuasion' with Ciarán Hinds—she was fantastic in that role!' Recommended reading: Another added: 'I knew who she was, but I'm once again aggrieved at Heather's demise when she had so much more storytelling to do, including her relationship with Queenie!' One viewer replied: 'And Judy is still alive and well, now 85 years old.' Do you remember Judy Cornwell as Queenie Trott in EastEnders or as Daisy in Keeping Up Appearances? Let us know in the comments below.

EastEnders fans slam jarring BBC couple who were not a match
Zack Hudson and Whitney Dean were a prominent couple on the show who planned to get married before Whitney discovered her partner's unfaithfulness. Things famously came to a head at their wedding ceremony when Britney revealed Zack had cheated on Whitney. A furious Whitney then attacked Lauren and Zack before storming out of the registry office, according to Digital Spy. Taking on the EastEnders official Reddit page, the original poster asked: "Did anyone actually like Zack and Whitney being together?" Fans of the BBC soap opera were quick to express their dislike of the relationship, with one user writing: "Always jarred a bit for me - the storylines about Peach, the fostering, Britney etc were good, but as a couple they felt a bit flung together. Which was probably the point IDK." Another agreed, penning: "Yeah, I felt the same. I wasn't keen on them as a couple (despite them both producing some good work together) and felt they weren't a match, either personality or chemistry-wise. "But this was by design and what they wanted to portray (given that Shona has known she was going for most - if not all - of that time)." One user said: "I did feel like their relationship came out of nowhere. I don't remember them interacting at all, and then she suddenly had a crush on him. "I didn't really like Zack until the Peach storyline, I think he supported her as best he could, and he seemed like he genuinely cared about her. "I think if Shona hadn't wanted to leave, they would have stayed together. They seemed like a solid couple before the Britney stuff, and I thought they were good together." Another fan added: "No, because I was annoyed that they didn't pair Zack and Sam together. All that build up and nothing, what a waste of time that was." Another echoed this dislike, writing: "Never. Zack was a playboy, and Whitney was a hypocrite with Lauren after she got with Joey while she was in rehab. "The dig at her being an addict just before her and Zack got together was uncalled for, too." However, one fan went against the grain, telling the OP: "Yes, I liked them together and was annoyed when he cheated with Lauren. "I'm hoping they don't put him and Lauren together. I don't know why, but I feel he could get with Zoe when she returns to the square"
