In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Monday, April 27), Theo Silverton managed to escape from the police after Todd and George reported him.

Fleeing from the window of the flat, Theo hid in his smashed up van with Todd’s phone in hand.

But, with one villain being shown dead by the end of this week, could it be Theo?

Theo and Todd’s showdown in Coronation Street

It all kicked off when Todd Grimshaw called George Shuttleworth to say he’d be a little late for drinks at the Rovers after being left shaken by a scare at the flat. But that was nothing compared to what was waiting for him…

The moment Todd hung up, he came face to face with Theo Silverton, who had quietly let himself in. In a bizarre twist, Theo noticed food about to go to waste and insisted on cooking one ‘last meal’ – settling on a risotto in the middle of all the tension.

Things quickly spiralled, with Todd forced to grab a knife to protect himself as Theo disturbingly begged him to stab him, even lifting a marble bowl in the chaos. Just in time, George rushed in and helped Todd lock Theo in the bedroom so they could escape.

But the relief didn’t last. Theo managed to climb out of the window, evade the police, and hide nearby. As Todd headed for safety, he realised he’d forgotten his phone – and when he returned, there was Theo, holding it and waiting…
