The arrest was not what viewers had hoped for

Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton’s special Coronation Street episode is available on ITVX today (Monday, December 15) and a huge arrest has been made on the cobbles.

However, it’s not the arrest viewers would’ve hoped for. Sadly, Todd Grimshaw was actually the one to be taken down to the station.

And, in a huge twist, it was Theo who ended up looking like a domestic abuse victim instead of Todd.

Police called to Todd and Theo’s flat in Coronation Street ITVX episode

Today on the cobbles, Todd and Theo’s special episode aired. The whole hour was seen through a number of different cameras in a huge format change.

In the flat, Theo continued to control his partner by isolating him from his friends, telling him what he could and couldn’t eat, forcing him to train for his 5k, breaking his phone and losing his temper on him.

When Todd fought back and told Theo he was ready to leave him, Theo locked Todd in the bedroom for the entire night.

Todd continued to stand up to Theo, resulting in him pushing him. Theo, however, ended up cutting his head on some glass and was knocked out unconscious.

Bernie had heard a lot of shouting and fighting coming from the flat. She then called the police after knocking the door and receiving no answer.

It wasn’t long before the police then burst on the scene and took Todd down to the station.

Todd arrested in huge Coronation Street twist

At the police station, Kit Green questioned Todd over the incident at the flat. But, Todd made out that he and Theo were arguing as all couples do. He then said that he’d had to defend himself as Theo could be really strong when things got physical.

Leaving out the domestic abuse he’d endured for months on end, Todd failed to tell the full story and was arrested.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Theo was told that his head wound wasn’t serious. He called on George and Christina to comfort him. Of course, this was another bid to get Todd’s friends on his side.

The police then wondered whether Theo was telling the truth when he explained that it was just a silly argument that got out of hand, giving Theo some information for domestic abuse victim support. Yes, we know right?! They’re looking at the wrong guy!

Once Todd was let go, the couple returned to the flat where Theo told Todd that he didn’t recognise him anymore and that he was a completely changed man.

As he went to pick up a photo of them both smiling together, he came across one of Todd’s secret cameras and confronted him about it. As the episode wrapped up, we can’t help worrying that Theo’s anger might put Todd in serious danger.
