ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo
ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo Coronation Street viewers are convinced that a former cobbles favourite is going to make a comeback in order to save Todd Grimshaw from abusive Theo Silverton ITV Coronation Street icon 'to return' 21 years after exit to rescue Todd from Theo (Image: ITV ) Coronation Street viewers believe they've figured out who will rescue Todd Grimshaw from Theo Silverton, and it's a beloved former resident of the cobbles. This year on the soap, Todd (played by Gareth Pierce) began a romantic relationship with newcomer Theo (portrayed by James Cartwright). However, it was later disclosed that Theo is actually married to Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and is a father to Millie (Kaitlyn Earley) and Miles (Lewis William Magee). In a heartbreaking twist, Theo confided in Todd about his past, revealing he had been forced to undergo conversion therapy due to his hidden sexuality. The truth about Theo and Todd's relationship was exposed when Danielle caught them in a passionate embrace. Since then, Theo and Todd have continued their affair, but it hasn't been an easy journey for the couple. The pair started dating this year Recently, Theo's teenage daughter Millie concocted a pregnancy hoax in a bid to lure her father back home. When Todd discovered the truth, he insisted she confess to everyone, reports Leicestershire Live. Article continues below However, Millie craftily spun another lie, telling her father that Todd had forced her to have an abortion - a claim that Theo eventually discovered to be false. Angered by Theo's initial lack of trust, Todd ended up drowning his sorrows with James Bailey (Jason Callender). James attempted to make a pass at Todd, who rejected him just as Theo walked in. Theo showed his dark side recently Todd found reassurance from Theo, who made it clear he had no interest in James – a sentiment that left Theo chuckling about the day's tumultuous events. Theo then struck a deal with Todd, promising to keep Millie at bay if Todd stayed away from James. However, the situation escalated when Theo later confronted James with a stark warning: back off Todd or face more than just verbal threats. Amidst fan theories of an impending grim storyline where Theo might harm Todd, some viewers are convinced a figure from Todd's past could emerge as his saviour. Fans have 'worked out' who saves Todd Discussions on a Coronation Street Facebook fan group have been rife, with one user expressing their dislike for Theo. The conversation quickly turned to speculation about Todd's ex, Karl Foster (portrayed by Chris Finch), making a dramatic return to rescue him. Comments included: "Remember Karl Foster? He needs to come back, he was def Todd's one that got away." Others reminisced, with one saying: "Aww yeah I remember him". Calls for Karl's return were echoed by another fan: "That'd be so good! He could save Todd from Theo." Another chimed in with support: "Yeah he could be the one." Long-time fans will remember Karl's introduction in 2003 as a nurse at Weatherfield General and his subsequent relationship with Todd (then played by Bruno Langley), who was romantically involved with Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) at the time. Karl's departure in 2004 led to a petition for his comeback, which garnered numerous signatures. Article continues below Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MYLES SMITH's feet haven't touched the ground since the release of his breakthrough EP You Promised Me A Lifetime last year. In the last few months alone, the Luton-born singer has been named as one of Time 100's most influential people, picked up a Brit Award, supported Ed Sheeran on his world tour and performed a huge show at Glastonbury.

'Physically, my feet haven't been on the ground a lot,' Myles told me with a grin. 'It's been crazy. 'I've toured the world two times in the last year. 'Mentally for me though, it's about being in the moment and enjoying the fact I'm getting to do the thing I've wanted since I was ten years old.' The power of his hits including my favourites Stargazing, Nice To Meet Ya and Wait For You, are propelling Myles to stardom. 'I thought Time 100 had made a mistake,' he said with a laugh. 'Maybe it's actually Time 1,000. 'I'm among Nobel Prize winners and scientists who have figured out the atom, which is pretty cool. I'm just really grateful for all of the work I've been doing and all of the messaging I've been trying to get out about funding in schools for music and being able to support grassroots venues. 'It's about really changing the infrastructure landscape of music in the UK and the world. Brit Awards 2025: Meet the Top Nominees 'I think I've gone a long way in helping with that.' Myles had to leave Glastonbury straight after his set to catch a flight to Stuttgart, to rejoin Ed on his tour. Of his Woodsies stage performance, he joked: 'It was the perfect balance of overwhelming and heat stroke. 'It's so f***ing hot.' Myles will be performing at Ed's three homecoming shows at Portman Road in Ipswich. He said: 'Backstage it's going to be rocking. 'It's going to be wild. 'We've been in France, Germany and everywhere the last few weeks, and to come home and do it all again is incredible. 'To do it with the ginger legend himself is even better.' SQUAD BID GETS KELLY ON SIDE FORMER Lioness Kelly Smith is backing a campaign to get more girls into football.

New research has revealed 93 per cent of girls aged between 13 and 18 think being within a football set-up helps young women cope with the pressures of social media. I couldn't agree more. Grassroots football is so important and we need to get behind it. DJ VERNON KAY missed his Radio 2 show yesterday after being stuck on a train. Gary Davies was forced to step in and cover for the presenter. His Chiltern Railways service into the capital broke down and lost air con, only for a second train to also develop a fault.

Rita, who mentored her on The Voice Australia, made the gesture to celebrate her two homecoming gigs in Scotland over the weekend. Nyree narrowly missed out on the 2023 final after being picked by Rita to be in her top three. It's not the first time Rita has been praised for not turning her back on talent show singers. X Factor winner Louisa Johnson also spoke of Rita's dedication to helping up-and-coming stars after she won the ITV show in 2015. Rita got her big break after making tea for staff at a record label, so she knows about the graft and dedication needed to make it big. THE secret fiancé of AJ Odudu has been revealed as an American art director called Peter Gibson. She announced the surprise engagement last month and it's now emerged the TV host has been making visits to the US to see him, although he is planning a move to the UK. The Big Brother star is now in Seattle, while they plan their future together. ISLAND EP IS A JOY FOR MAE MAE MULLER is returning to music with an impressive EP called My Island. I've had an early listen of the five-track project, which will be out on July 18, and it's the best music she's ever made. 9 Mae Muller is returning to music with an impressive EP called My Island Credit: Splash The singer, who represented the UK at Eurovision in 2023 with I Wrote A Song, said: 'I want people to feel the joy.

Meanwhile, Australian musician G FLIP has just announced that new album Dream Ride will be out on September 5, preceded by the single In Another Life on July 10. Miley wares it well MILEY CYRUS gave Naomi Campbell a run for her money in the supermodel stakes when they teamed up for her latest video.

It features videos to all 13 tracks and will be available to stream on Disney+ from July 30. They'll be hoping the new clip will help turn around the success of the record, because despite Naomi and Miley teaming up for a signing of their single in London last month, it has failed to chart. Perhaps Naomi should stick to the catwalk after all. Olivia's no big Ed OLIVIA RODRIGO is getting a name for herself as one of the most laid-back people in the music industry.

'Olivia's area had been decorated with wildflower plants to make it feel relaxing and summery for her and Ed,' my mole said. 'They even infused her water with strawberries to suit her tastes. 'But Olivia didn't need anything special. 'She just chowed down on boiled eggs and toast before the show and hung out with Ed. 'Her team arrived in ten blacked-out cars with a massive wardrobe of clothing but Olivia just chose one outfit and decided not to change again. 'Everyone was talking about how lovely and low key both her and Ed were.'
