Todd took things out on George

In today’s episode of Coronation Street (Monday, November 17), Todd was having the day from hell as Theo caused him to be late for his shift.

Trying to explain things to George when he eventually arrived for the important funeral, Todd was told he’d been replaced by Christina.

At the end of the episode, he then lashed out at George in the flat as his emotions got the better of him.

Todd spiralled as Theo’s abuse continued in Coronation Street

It all kicked off with Todd Grimshaw snoozing on the sofa, blissfully unaware of the chaos brewing.

Theo, having already unplugged Todd’s phone so he’d miss his alarm, chucked Todd’s white shirts into the wash together. Helpful? Hardly. By the time George was pacing around like a man possessed, Todd was left with a pile of ruined work gear and no way to impress his boss. George was livid when a really late and hungover Todd eventually turned up wearing a blue shirt.

George then told him he’d replaced him with Christina and that Todd was a liability.

But Theo wasn’t done. Oh no. He slyly whispered in Todd’s ear after Todd’s humiliation, nudging him to pick a fight with George. And, like clockwork, Todd took the bait. The result? A blazing row that left George questioning Todd’s reliability and their friendship hanging by a thread. Theo, of course, stood back with a smug grin, knowing he’d engineered every second of it.

Theo watched on as Todd yelled at George Shuttleworth, demanding that he stopped trying to be a ‘father figure’ to him. He then impulsively quit his job and ordered him out of the flat when he started asking questions about what was really going on.

Todd made out that he was sick of being undervalued and pushed until he broke at work. But, was he just taking his anger towards Theo out on George?

Todd and Theo’s special episode in Coronation Street

In the upcoming weeks, a special episode will focus on Todd and Theo’s abusive relationship. And, how Theo’s control and manipulation is really impacting Todd.

In scenes that will air before Christmas, Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks has revealed that a ‘powerful’ episode will air with ‘never been done before’ scenes.

She said: “We have played about with the format a little bit to tell these stories.

“I’ve just been in a viewing this morning for a really brilliant and powerful episode, focused primarily on their relationship. It hasn’t been done before – I don’t think anyone’s ever told a story in this format in this way.

“I’ve just watched it and have been quite stunned by it. I’ve got to go back and re-watch it again, just to digest what I’ve just watched on screen, because it really is powerful. It’s really emotive.”

What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?

Let's just hope it isn't with Maria!

David tried to get through to Shona

David sat Shona down and asked her to think about telling their family about the baby's condition. Shona was against the idea, but David said that it might help the family give them support if they knew what was actually going on.

Sally got the wrong end of the stick

Sally headed to the bistro for dinner with Tim and the kids. But, she soon spotted Trisha with a young lad and jumped to conclusions. She then confronted Trisha despite Tim warning her to stay out of it.

With Sally then being told that the lad was Trisha's nephew, Tim was humiliated over Sally causing an unnecessary scene. The pair tried to smooth things over with Shanice and Joanie by offering them pudding, but it didn't help the fact that they were arguing over dinner just like the girls' parents usually did.
