She sat down with him and switched things up from being the ‘bitter ex wife’ to the ‘understanding ally.’ But, fans reckon there’s more to Danielle’s nicey-nice act than she’s letting on. Danielle opened up to Todd (Credit: ITV) Danielle and Todd bonded in Coronation Street In Friday’s episode, Danielle eventually let her guard down in an emotional chat with Todd. She offered her most honest account yet of life with Theo. After meeting him in the Rovers, the pair later headed back to George’s house. Danielle then reflected on their complicated past. She admitted that there had been genuinely happy times in the early days of their marriage, and described Theo as a devoted father when things first began. However, she also revealed that over time he became increasingly controlling, shaping much of their family life behind closed doors.

She went on to apologise to Todd for everything Theo had put him through and promised she would be there for him if he ever needed support. Danielle suggested they were both dealing with different sides of the same man. Still, her sudden change of heart raises questions, with viewers left wondering whether she is truly seeking understanding with Todd or has another reason for opening up now.Don't miss a single story!

Danielle is one of the six official suspects (Credit: ITV) Fans predict Danielle played a part in Theo’s murder Danielle might be wanting to get Todd on side for a reason, and Corrie fans are adamant it’s because she played a part in Theo’s murder. Some fans think she was the one to bump her ex-husband off, taking to social media to share their theory. One Coronation Street fan on X wondered: “Was it Danielle?,” while another commented: “I think Danielle killed Theo because she was abused, or it’s just a way for the writers to write her out for good.” A third person predicted: “Worked out the killer. Just like when crime dramas cast a well-known actor, they either die or are the murderer. In this case, it’ll be Danielle who killed Theo.” However, others think that Theo’s son Miles is the true killer and that Danielle then helped him cover-up his crime. One fan wrote: “I was convinced it was Summer that pushed him at first but now I’m thinking Danielle or Miles did it & she’s covering for him. It’s way too suspicious that we haven’t seen them for ages and now Theo’s dead they’re suddenly back on screen. Something’s not adding up.” Another agreed: “Danielle is covering for Miles, I’m calling it now no WAY Miles randomly made an appearance right before Theo was killed.” A final person finished: “My thinking exactly, it’s no coincidence the show brought Miles back last week for no reason. Could Danielle be covering for him? She looked shifty at the end of tonight’s episode.” What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?
