ITVX early release sees character attempt to get Todd to 'safety' as soap drops major 'clue' they'll be the one to bring Theo down

Come on Christina, save the day please

In today’s Coronation Street ITVX early release (Wednesday, December 3), one character was in need of a bit of comfort from a friend.

With Theo ordering Todd Grimshaw out to do some more training for his 10k, he soon strained a muscle and needed to rest.

Christina then expressed her concerns for Todd, but could she sense there was more to his story?

Theo gave Todd a ‘gift’ in Coronation Street

On the cobbles today, Dev turned up at the flat to check on Theo after hearing about the burglary. Todd then appeared, not realising that Dev was there.

He then had to think on his feet, telling him that he’d returned from London early to make sure that Theo was okay. When he was asked about his facial injury, Todd made out that he’d had one too many on a night out and had bashed himself into some railings.

With Dev thrown off the scent, Theo then brightened up and gave Todd a ‘gift.’ But, it wasn’t a very nice one. It was a fitness tracker to help Todd train for his 10k.

Ordering Todd out of the flat to go on a run, Theo then tracked Todd’s whereabouts through an app in secret.

Todd then stopped running after suffering from a painful cramp, with Christina then spotting him on the Street.

ITVX episode drops huge ‘clue’ Christina will bring down Theo

Noticing that Todd needed to rest up, Christina invited Todd back to the undertaker’s for a cuppa. Todd was reluctant but joined her, surprised when she told him that George Shuttleworth missed him and wanted him back at work.

She was concerned about Todd’s wellbeing, noticing that he wasn’t acting like himself.

When Todd started to consider opening up to Christina about Theo, he thought better of it and quickly fled without even finishing his tea. Christina had tried to get him to stay until George came back but Todd scarpered anyway.

With Christina expressing her concerns for Todd though, her suspicions are only set to grow now that Theo has ordered Todd to stay away from George and Christina altogether.

Will Christina realise that the reason Todd’s a shadow of his former self is because of Theo? Will she be the one to expose Theo’s abuse and serve him his well-deserved comeuppance?
