Coronation Street fans were left frustrated as Theo was released from custody during tonight’s episode. But next week, things ramp up and it’s Summer who is left horrified by his revelations.

It’s been a huge week for the Todd and Theo storyline in Coronation Street, as Todd finally reported his partner to the police for abuse. Everyone on the cobbles has been left horrified by what Todd has endured at the hands of Theo, and it’s even led to some admitting they want him dead.

However, while Theo was remanded in custody in last night’s episode, tonight (April 16) saw him get released. And he immediately got up to no good.

Theo found Sarah going through his things

Todd woke up in the hospital with all of his friends and support system there to make sure he was okay. And for the first time in a while, we see him actually laugh. However, he’s quick to tell Sarah that Theo had a tablet which could have the video on it – piquing Sarah’s interest.

Theo then got released on bail, and rejects Lisa’s claims that there may be any other devices. But before he left the station, he was told he has to stay away from Todd.

Back in the pub, Gary told Sarah and the others that Theo didn’t have the chance to lock his van before going to the station. So, if there was a tablet, it could be in there.

Sarah decided to take her opportunity and headed to the van to go through Theo’s stuff. She successfully managed to find the tablet. But just as she went to take it, Theo appeared. He was quick to get aggressive with her, and when he made it clear he was getting the police involved, Sarah bolted.

Later, Kit was angry with Sarah for getting involved, as not only has she ruined the chances of finding the tablet evidence, but she’s put Todd’s case at jeopardy.

Coronation Street spoilers: Summer is left horrified by what she hears

However, next week, things take an even darker turn. Summer finally hears the truth about Billy’s death – from Theo’s own mouth.

Carl has been the only one in the know about Theo murdering Billy during Corriedale for quite some time. But in recent weeks, he has been using it to his own advantage, and told Summer what happened.

Up until now, Theo has continued to play innocent. But this all changes next week. Knowing he has nothing to lose as everyone on the street hates him, Theo really lets his dark side shine.

Coronation Street spoilers confirm Theo gets right in Summer’s face, and chillingly tells her how Billy begged him to help him before he died. And his words leave Summer shaken.

She immediately heads to tell George exactly what Theo said. And George wastes no time in paying him a visit. He tells Theo to stay away from both Todd and Summer – or face the consequences.

And with a shock murder happening on the cobbles very soon, Theo has a lot of enemies to watch out for.
