Billy knows something is up

In tonight’s (Tuesday, December 30) visit to Coronation Street, there might finally be some light at the end of the tunnel for poor Todd, all thanks to Billy.  Over the past six months, Theo Silverton has managed to pull the wool over the eyes of everyone in Todd’s life.

His abuse of the undertaker has steadily increased, but Todd’s family and friends have remained in the dark.

Any suggestions of anything amiss in the relationship have quickly been swept under the rug. In a recent special episode, Christina and George even temporarily believed Todd might be the abusive one in the relationship.

As things have grown worse behind closed doors, nobody has managed to see through Theo’s facade. Until now.

Billy’s suspicions grew in Coronation Street

While Billy has been suspicious that something could be going on for awhile, tonight seemed to confirm the vicar’s suspicions.

During a joint birthday party for George and Glenda, evil Theo turned on his boyfriend once again.

After learning that Todd had once had a crush on Nick Tilsley, he wanted to get revenge after deciding Todd was ‘flirting’ with him.

In last night’s visit to the cobbles, Theo suggested he and Todd head out to pick up a birthday cake, insisting his boyfriend wouldn’t need a coat. Of course, as always, he had an ulterior motive.

Miles from the party, and without his phone, Todd was left to walk home in the cold as Theo drove off.

Theo tried to cover his tracks

Tonight, Billy was concerned as Theo returned to the party by himself. While he insisted Todd had gone for a lie down after drinking too much, Billy was left suspicious – especially when it became apparent that he’d left his phone.

With Theo adamant that he wouldn’t need the phone, Billy’s suspicions only grew. Viewers saw Todd walking alone in the rain, dripping wet and shivering.

Luckily, it was Billy who first spotted him back on the street. Despite Todd immediately trying to make an excuse that he’d nipped out for some chips, Billy saw right through him.

Todd, trapped as he is in this abusive relationship, was quick to defend Theo.

It was evident that someone was finally starting to see through the facade, but a frightened Todd dismissed his friend’s concerns.

Todd makes a decision

According to spoilers for tomorrow night’s episode, Todd meets his family and friends in the Rovers to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

With Christina, George, Summer and Billy all present, Todd makes a big decision regarding his future with Theo.

But just what decision does he make? With Billy’s help, might he finally be able to free himself from Theo’s clutches?

What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?

Becky landed herself in the hospital

After Carla shoved her captor in an attempt to escape, Becky managed to overpower her again tonight.

Ensuring a half-conscious Carla was once again tied up, the evil Becky headed back to number 6, passing out in front of a concerned Lisa and Betsy.

After taking her to the hospital, the Swains were shocked when Becky claimed that her head wound was caused by a gang member.

A terrified Betsy insisted they needed to hide out before Becky ended up dead 'again'.

Abi confessed all to Tracy

Having discovered that Carl was cheating on her, Abi finally revealed all to her frenemy tonight.

She began to open up to Tracy in last night's visit to the cobbles. Tonight, Abi told a shocked Tracy that it was James who Carl was sleeping with.

In typical Tracy Barlow fashion, she suggested getting revenge by fleecing Carl for every penny.

Back at the flat, Abi pretended everything was perfectly normal between them.

All was not forgiven with Maggie and Eva

With Maggie promising never to pull an evil stunt with Eva like her Christmas Day reveal ever again, Ben agreed to let her return home.

In front of her son, Maggie extended an olive branch to Eva, which the Rovers landlady accepted.

Unfortunately for Eva, the Driscoll matriarch's true colours resurfaced as soon as Ben left the pair alone.

Maggie made it quite clear that she wasn't willing to forgive Eva for her abortion, and insisted they would never be family.

Elsewhere, Will's jealousy of Daniel and Megan grew, while Tyrone made progress in physio.
