In today’s Coronation Street ITVX early release episode (Monday, April 27), Theo Silverton’s ‘murder week’ flashback aired on screen.

Entering the flat, Theo wasn’t pleased to find Todd about to leave for his getaway to Thailand.

After a serious altercation in the flat, Theo managed to escape the police before facing Todd once more.

George rushed to protect Todd from Theo in Coronation Street

Todd phoned George and told him that he’d be a tad bit late to their drinks at the Rovers as some kids had given him a fright at the flat.

As he got off the phone though, he came face to face with Theo who had let himself into the flat. Noticing that Todd was going to let some of the food in the flat go to waste, he insisted on cooking up one ‘last meal’ – a risotto.

Things then got violent, with Todd being forced to defend himself by holding a knife towards his abusive husband. Theo then begged Todd to stab his heart, grabbing a marble bowl and holding it over Todd’s head.

Luckily, George then appeared and protected Todd. The pair worked together to shove Theo into the bedroom and locked the door on him while making for an exit.

But, this moment of triumph wouldn’t last long.

Theo’s escape in Coronation Street

Todd and George managed to call the police and informed Kit on Theo’s violent confrontation.

Kit and his team then entered the flat and realised that Theo had escaped through a window and climbed down the scaffolding. They were oblivious to the fact that he was hiding in his freshly smashed up van (thanks Gary!).

Needing to get to safety, Todd said goodbye to George and was quickly sent off to the airport via taxi. But, realising that he’d forgotten his phone, he returned to the Street to fetch it.

It was there that he came face to face with Theo once more who was holding Todd’s very phone in his hands.

So, will Todd manage to escape Theo once and for all? And, will Theo be the villain who is murdered?
