Coronation Street confirms dark scenes as concern grows for Todd

Coronation Street confirms dark scenes as concern grows for Todd

Metro6 days ago
Things got intense for Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) in tonight's Coronation Street, after an enormous fight with Theo Silverton's (James Cartwright) family.
Amid his journey to help Theo come to terms with his sexuality, Todd has crossed paths with Noah – the man who subjected Theo to conversion therapy.
It is safe to say that Noah and Todd's beliefs don't align, and recent scenes saw Todd lash out at him.
In tonight's episode, Todd had to face Noah in a restorative justice session, in order to avoid any further repercussions for his actions.
Despite not getting much out of the session itself, Todd made a shocking discovery when he returned to the community centre to collect his phone.
He overheard Noah calling his new girlfriend – Theo's ex-wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson)!
Meanwhile, Theo had planned a lunch with Millie and Miles, and had invited Danielle to join them at the Bistro.
Unfortunately, things took a dramatic turn when Todd came barrelling in to reveal Danielle and Noah's relationship to Theo.
Theo was understandably hurt, but the situation got even more out of hand when Miles launched at Todd for ruining their family dinner.
While attempting to separate them, Theo ended up punching Miles in the face, leaving everyone stunned.
Following his violent outburst, Theo blamed Todd for Miles' injury, and stormed out.
Several hours later, he finally returned, having left Todd worrying about him. More Trending
However, Theo was unremorseful, and asserted that he was going to bed, and that Todd should sleep downstairs.
A confused Todd pointed out that Theo was a guest in his house, but Theo doubled down and threatened that Todd would never see him again if he didn't sleep on the sofa.

Todd was clearly rattled by Theo's controlling behaviour, but is it just a one off, or are things set to get worse?

ITV confirm Coronation Street favourite is set for a sensational return to the cobbles as new Rovers Return landlord - and she's not alone!

ITV have confirmed that Coronation Street favourite, Eva Price, will be returning to the cobbles this autumn – and she's taking over the Rovers Return. Actress Catherine Tyldesley, 41, is back filming top-secret scenes in Weatherfield – and she's not alone. Joining her are two major new cast members: Shameless and Bohemian Rhapsody star Aaron McCusker, 46, and comedy legend Pauline McLynn, 63, best known as Mrs Doyle in Father Ted. The pair will arrive as Eva's new partner Ben Driscoll and his meddling mother Maggie, with the trio unveiled as the new owners of the Rovers in scenes set to air in October. It marks the first time Eva will be pulling pints behind the iconic bar since 2018, and the new Price-Driscoll clan looks set to shake things up in a big way. In upcoming episodes, Eva will be reunited with her sisters Leanne and Toyah while catching up with old friends and neighbours. But what has she been up to since she left Weatherfield? And how will this new clan fit into the drama on the Street? Also joining the cast will be Ben's two sons, along with Eva's daughter Suzie, making this new blended family one to watch. Coronation Street fans will recognise Pauline from her roles in Father Ted, Shameless, and EastEnders, where she played Yvonne Cotton in 2014. Aaron also starred in Shameless as Jamie Maguire and famously played Freddie Mercury's boyfriend Jim Hutton in the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody. Catherine originally left Coronation Street in 2018 after seven years on the show. Since then, she's appeared in a string of dramas including Viewpoint, Suspicion, Scarborough and most recently The Good Ship Murder. Speaking about Catherine's return, Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: 'We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. 'The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore. 'To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. She concluded: 'Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride.' An insider told The Sun earlier this week that producers took their time finding the perfect actor to play Eva's new husband, and once Aaron and Catherine were paired, they knew they had struck gold. They told the publication: 'Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders ' shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. 'So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers. 'When Aaron walked in, and once paired with Catherine, bosses knew they had the perfect partnership to run the soap's iconic pub.' Describing the pair's chemistry as 'electric', the insider noted that Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub as the pair put on a 'happy and loved-up' display. However, despite having all the friendliness associated with the Irish, the insider stressed that Aaron is not a character to be messed with. They added: 'It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history.' News of the latest change on the cobblestones comes after it was announced that the show had been pulling in record viewers after making one recent change. The change took place in October 2024, when the long-running show became available to view on ITVX from 7am on the day of broadcast. This meant that soap fans could either choose to tune in early or watch their favourite soaps at a time that better suited them. The decision to make the change came after BBC soap EastEnders made a similar switch to iPlayer a few years ago. Following the change, both Corrie and Emmerdale, which also made the switch, have enjoyed a record 124 million streams in 2025's first quarter. This meant that there have been an impressive one billion streams on ITVX so far this year. To put the change into context, compared to this time last year, soap viewing has increased by 35 percent. ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, Kevin Lygo, said: 'We have totally transformed our streaming offer with ITVX over the past couple of years. 'All our teams internally, alongside the best producers in the business, have helped deliver these brilliant numbers by producing, promoting and delivering this fantastic content to audiences to stream.'

Coronation Street first look as Eva Price returns alongside sitcom legend

Coronation Street bosses have confirmed that actress Catherine Tyldesley will be reprising her role as Eva Price on the ITV soap, but she is not coming back on her own Coronation Street bosses have confirmed that Catherine Tyldesley will be reprising her role as Eva Price on the ITV soap. The actress, 41, left the cobbles in 2018 but is making a comeback which will see her take on the coveted position of Rovers Return landlady. ‌ Eva left the Street with daughter Susie, who at the time was four months old. But when she heads back to Weatherfield later this year, she arrives with new partner Ben Driscoll, played by Aaron McCusker, who is best known for his role as Jamie Maguire in Shameless and also starred in Bohemian Rhapsody as Freddie Mercury's boyfriend. ‌ It comes as reports emerged that the new owner of The Rovers had been revealed amid her return. Now the soap has confirmed the theory by fans, announcing Eva will be back in the pub once owned by her mother. ‌ What's more, Pauline McLynn, who made her name as Mrs Doyle in the classic sitcom Father Ted, has signed on to her interfering mother-in-law Maggie Driscoll and will be seen alongside Eva and Ben when they take over the nation's most famous pub in October. With them will be Susie and Ben's two sons. Former Emmerdale boss Kate Brooks, who took the reins of Coronation Street earlier this year, said: "We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore. ‌ "To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride.' Reports surrounding the return of Leanne Battersby's sister emerged earlier this year, but then nothing was announced until now. It's thought that the move has come about after EastEnders bosses revealed that Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) will be taking over the Queen Victoria pub on Coronation Street's BBC rival. ‌ A source told The Sun: "Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers." The insider added that Corrie bosses knew they had found the 'perfect' actor as soon as the Irish-born star walked into the room. They added of his character: "Aaron's character is also someone not to be messed with, and the locals are going to be in for a shock if they think they can take advantage of his good nature and that cheeky Irish charm. "It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history." Following her time on the cobbles, Catherine competed on Strictly Come Dancing. She has also starred in The Good Ship Murder and earlier this year appeared opposite Siobhan Finneran in an episode of the ITV drama Protection. She was also set to star Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical last year but it was cancelled and she went viral over a social media scandal known as Cakegate in late 2023.
