Todd Grimshaw aimed to collect evidence against abusive Theo in today’s ITVX Coronation Street early release (Friday, December 5).

With Theo’s behaviour starting to really concern him, Todd nipped out to the shops and returned to install some new surveillance cameras in the flat.

The episode set itself up for next week’s ‘never-been-done-before’ special.

Theo’s actions concerned Todd in Coronation Street ITVX episode

Today, Theo gifted Todd an exercise bike. But, when Billy and Summer spotted the couple carrying the large box into the flat, they were concerned about the cut on Todd’s face.

He went along with the story that he’d been partying too hard in London, but they thought it was really out-of-character for him. And, it was considering that it didn’t happen.

In the flat, Theo then received some bad news as Danielle stormed round and informed him that she was taking the kids to Tenerife for Christmas.

He tried to act fine about it with her but instead took his anger out on Todd behind closed doors instead.

When Todd finally had enough of Theo’s behaviour, he told him he was heading out. But, in another bid to control him,  Theo then pushed the exercise bike to the ground and started smacking himself.

Todd tried to comfort Theo as he listened to him apologise for his behaviour, admitting that he didn’t know who he was anymore or what was happening to him.

Todd takes action against Theo in Coronation Street

Todd saw through Theo’s little act but made out that he was concerned about him. He then said he was still going out to grab them things for dinner but insisted on Theo staying at home.

Todd then bumped into Billy on his outing and agreed to have a drink with him in the Rovers. He admitted that Theo was struggling with his mental health and that things had been tough now that Todd had lost his job.

Theo left the flat and saw Todd with Billy before quickly scarpering back home. When Todd returned with the food, he revealed he’d forgotten the red wine. Theo then offered to nip out to fetch it while Todd warmed up the hotpots.

While Theo was out, Todd then made the game-changing move of placing some in-home surveillance cameras in the flat without Theo knowing. But, could this finally give him the evidence he needs against abusive Theo? Please!
