As Theo and Todd get married, 5 characters most likely to bring villain down
Some are suspicious
Todd and Theo got married in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Wednesday, March 25), but not everyone was happy about the news.
While Todd pretended to be happy about his new life as a husband, cracks were starting to show.
With fans desperate for Theo to get his comeuppance, here’s who is most likely to expose his abusive ways.
Theo and Todd’s wedding in Coronation Street
Todd got the shock of his life when Theo turned up at his workplace looking suited and booted – and clearly up to something. Before Todd could get a straight answer, Theo blindfolded him and whisked him away, revealing a wedding he’d secretly kept on track.
With Gary and Maria stepping in as witnesses, Theo launched into heartfelt vows, calling their relationship a ‘rollercoaster’ and ‘dynamite.’ A stunned Todd barely had time to process it all, nervously pulling together his own words before feeling the pressure and agreeing to marry Theo on the spot.
The newlyweds then headed to the Rovers to share their big news, but the reaction was mixed. While some tried to celebrate, George, Summer and Christina were clearly uneasy. They couldn’t ignore how rushed it all felt, especially so soon after the couple reunited.
As doubts grew and Theo brushed off concerns, has Todd been swept up too quickly, and will someone step in?
5 characters most likely to expose abusive Theo
Summer
Summer was caught chatting to George tonight, baffled as why they weren’t there to watch Todd get married. She felt as though the wedding wasn’t what Todd wanted and that they’d rushed into marriage too soon after getting back together.
At the moment, she doesn’t know that Todd’s being abused by Theo. Or, that Theo technically killed her dad Billy. But, truth has the habit of coming out in soaps. Could Summer expose Theo for who he truly is?
Gary
Gary’s a good mate of Theo’s, with the soap really playing into them both being best buddies. However, in scenes to come, Gary will catch onto Theo’s alarming behaviour.
Spoilers for next week reveal that her overhears Theo’s abuse after Sarah raises the warning signs, sacking Theo on the spot and providing backup for Todd. But, will Gary bring him down and protect Todd?
George
George is perhaps the person with the most concerns about Theo right now. He’s noticed that Todd ‘lost his sparkle’ when he was with Theo, urging him to stay out of the relationship.
Secretly keeping a very close eye on the couple, George will overhear Theo’s abuse first hand later this week. But, will he keep the altercation to himself or speak up about it?
Christina
Christina is very supportive of George and hasn’t known Todd for as long, but she is still starting to wonder whether something’s going on in Todd and Theo’s relationship.
With partner George now getting involved, could Christina help him get the evidence he needs to save Todd and make Theo pay?
Sarah
Sarah’s been a friend of Todd for years, so she’d know better than anyone that he’s not acting like his usual self. Being concerned about Todd for a while now, supporting him over his isolation from loved ones and financial issues, Sarah’s quick to share her worries with Gary next week.
But, who will ultimately expose Theo’s abuse? And, will they get the police involved before Theo can hurt Todd even more?
Girlbands Forever: BBC's 'nostalgic' documentary to feature 90s stars All Saints, Eternal and Atomic Kitten
Band members from All Saints, Eternal and Atomic Kitten will all appear in the mini-series and talk about the highs and lows of fame and the impact it's had on their lives.
Girlbands Forever is a spin-off from Boybands Forever, which was masterminded by documentary maker Louis Theroux. The show gave a very shocking and raw insight into life as a 90s popstar.

He says: "I well remember when the Spice Girls, Eternal and All Saints burst on the scene in the 90s. It was a special time in pop music and British culture generally.
"Then in their wake came a parade of girl bands, made up of girls who were all in different ways beautiful, talented and often very funny. Going back and rediscovering all that music and those videos and the interviews they did has been an absolute pleasure.
"There was pain behind the music, too, and as is so often the case there was price to be paid for that level of young fame. But mainly we wanted this to be a celebration of a time of very special music and talent."
Girlbands Forever on the BBC: Who's in it?
Girlbands Forever will take you on a journey down memory lane. The documentary will feature interviews with members of All Saints, Atomic Kitten and Eternal. Singers from Mis-Teeq and Sugababes will also be on hand to tell their stories.
Melanie Blatt will be representing All Saints, while Kelle Bryan will recall her experiences in Eternal. Heidi Range, who was one of many members of Sugababes, will also appear, along with Mis-Teeq's Su-Elise Nash.

Kerry was just 18 when she was thrust into the limelight in Atomic Kitten. The often turbulent times in her life have been played out in the media ever since.
A surprise star who will also be talking about the price of fame in a girlband is Perrie Edwards. Perrie found fame on The X Factor aged 17 and was picked for a new girlband on the show. Little Mix went on to win the 2011 series.
But although Perrie isn't a 90s star, her experiences are likely to be similar to those who were famous during this era. Perrie has already spoken openly about the "dark side" of public scrutiny and her own battle with anxiety and panic attacks.
Music industry moguls
Like Boybands Forever - which featured both Robbie Williams and Take That's manager Nigel Martin-Smith - Girlbands Forever will also feature music industry moguls.
Giving their take will be record label giants, managers, journalists and pop music experts. They include Nicki Chapman, former creative director of the Spice Girls and S Club 7. Nicki, who's spent her career working for record labels and management companies, was also a judge on ITV's Popstars and Popstars: The Rivals at the turn of the millennium.
Pop record producer Pete Waterman, who worked with Nicki on Popstars, will also give his thoughts, along with former chief executive of Island Records, Darcus Beese OBE.

Girlbands Forever will also hear from showbiz journalist Lucie Cave and DJs Scott Mills, Clara Amfo and Pete Tong. Grammy and Brit winner, singer and record producer MNEK will appear.
Boybands Forever featured a bitter clash between Take That's Robbie and Nigel Martin-Smith. Will we see the same in Girlbands Forever?
When does BBC's Girlbands Forever start? How many episodes?
Girlbands Forever is a three-episode mini series. Each episode will last an hour. This is the identical format as its predecessor, Boybands Forever.
Girlbands Forever will air on BBC Two. Unfortunately, the BBC is yet to confirm a start date. Let's hope we don't have long to wait!
