Is Todd about to truly escape Theo?

Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Monday, March 9), saw abusive Theo Silverton threaten to stab Todd Grimshaw in worrying scenes.

With Theo having an awful birthday, he turned the attention towards his ‘useless’ partner instead.

And, next week, it appears as though this might just be the final straw for the couple’s relationship.

Theo threatened to stab Todd in Coronation Street

Today in Weatherfield, Theo wasn’t happy when Todd only bought him a food blender for his birthday. He seemed more impressed with Summer’s a size too small shirt.

Reminding Todd to bring his wallet to his birthday meal, Theo was already in a bad mood by the time that Todd arrived. This was because his kids Miles and Millie had forgotten his birthday.

Telling Todd that Gary and Maria had been keeping him company, he then informed him that he’d have to pay for their meal as well.

Trying to settle the bill with Nick, Todd asked if he could pay him back in a couple of days before Theo swooped in to pay for everyone instead in an humiliating experience for his partner.

Back at the flat, Theo’s attention turned back to his unwanted gift from Todd. He then grabbed a knife as Todd tried to tackle him, pointing it in Todd’s direction.

Instead of cowering away, Todd instead embraced Theo’s threat and begged him to ‘stab him’ and ‘put him out of his misery.’

Coronation Street spoilers see Todd and Theo’s relationship on the line

In Coronation Street spoilers for the rest of the week, it appears that Todd and Theo’s relationship is on the line. Gary Windass is left to intervene as she sides with his mate Theo.

Gary swings by the flat to pick up Theo’s clothes and finds Todd looking like he’s been through the emotional spin cycle. The place is a tip and Todd’s nerves are in tatters. There are awkward apologies all round, but Theo isn’t satisfied with a quick ‘sorry.’ Oh no – he insists they sit down properly and thrash things out. Can Todd smooth over the birthday blow-up, or will Theo’s temper last?

Later, Todd’s pacing the flat like a cat on a hot tin roof, convinced Theo might burst through the door at any second. Over at the undertakers, poor George is having a nightmare day as yet another funeral booking falls through.

Afterwards, George, Christina, Sarah and James attempt a morale-boosting drink for Todd. But the moment he spots Theo, panic hits and he makes a dash for it! Theo follows close behind, demanding a proper chat, while James escorts a slightly wobbly Todd home – unaware Theo’s hovering nearby, clearly plotting a dramatic heart-to-heart.

Is this the last straw for the couple?

What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?

Jodie vs Adam

Adam was back to complaining about Jodie and her constant inability to pick up David's mess (the dog, not the human).

But, Jodie wasn't too upset to be in Adam's bad books and found the whole thing quite funny instead.

Lauren ruined Ollie and Amy's date

Ollie and Amy went on a date in the Rovers but disaster soon struck when Lauren knocked a drink all over Amy.

With Amy out of the way, Maggie then encouraged Lauren to swoop in and win back Ollie. Quite the change of heart there, Maggie?

Steve had obvious nerves

Tim questioned why Steve was ignoring Cassie's calls. He then said that he didn't want to marry her because he'd been a married man so many times and it had never worked out. Also, he didn't think that now was the right time. Jim hadn't even been buried yet.

Sam was under the weather

Sam was ready to go to school but felt a tad ill. He then spewed out vomit at the bus stop, promoting a concerned Leanne to take him back to the flat to rest up.
