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…

Likelihood of Theo being murdered in Coronation Street explored

It’s not looking very good for Theo as ‘murder week’ kicks off. He’s created a lot of enemies, and they’re also all looking to protect Todd no matter the cost.

Summer wanted to throw a brick at Theo’s van tonight, while Gary stopped her from doing so and smashed the vehicle up himself.

Then there was George who rushed in to defend Todd and helped him lock Theo in the bedroom.

Todd himself even threatened Theo with a knife, now being in danger once again as Theo has him cornered.

With another altercation looking imminent, Theo might not having anywhere left to run. Could Todd or one of his loved ones bump Theo off in one last showdown? It’s looking more and more likely after tonight’s episode.
