UPDATE: |Coronation Street fans fume ‘I hate this’ as they make plea for return for Todd Grimshaw News

They have spoken out against the rumbling of Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton’s secret romance as they made a plea

Coronation Street fans have spoken out against the rumbling of Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton’s secret romance as they made a plea.

As fans of the ITV soap already know, Todd took a shine to Theo following their random meeting on the cobbles last last month. They met when a piece of scaffolding, from the site Theo is managing, almost hit a dying Julie Carp.

When Theo had to issue a bumbling apology for assuming Julie was fawning illness, it was clear there was a spark between the pair and Todd didn’t hide his interest and so his aunt Julie got involved and with mum Eileen Grimshaw’s help, orchestrated a plan to get Theo round to the house.

At the time, realising he had been set up, Theo spelled out to Todd that he was not gay and he’d appreciate it if he and his crazy aunt would leave him alone.

But later, Theo returned to No.11 to see Todd and one thing soon led to another and the pair ended up in a passionate embrace and they have since been sneaking around, even after Todd discovered Theo has a wife, Danielle, and two children.

Trying to cover-up their secret romance, Todd leaned on Sarah Platt and the pair pretended in front of Danielle to be in a relationship. But that backfired when she saw Sarah with Kit Green, before sharing her concerns with George Shuttleworth who informed her Todd was gay.

It led Danielle to think that it was Theo that Sarah was seeing and confront her in the middle of the Rovers Return. But it was during Wednesday’s (April 23) Corrie that Danielle finally discovered the truth.

Viewers saw Kit step in to protect his new love interest Sarah after she was once again faced with false claims by Danielle. As she confronted Sarah in the cafe, an unimpressed Kit tells her that she’d be better off speaking to Todd to find out what’s going on.

Danielle took Kit’s tip and headed off to find Todd at Underworld, where she spotted him kissing Theo, leaving her heartbroken. Theo was desperate to put things right with her, avoiding Todd after accusing him of setting up the whole thing.

Todd went on to rage at Sarah, wrongly thinking that Danielle’s discovery was down to her. But Kit once again stepped in and put him straight. It led to Sarah confiding in Kit over her history with Todd but as their blossoming romance began again, Todd was left alone without a word from Theo.

And it’s fair to say Corrie fans weren’t happy about it and think that Todd deserves a new love interest – and even possibly someone we’ve seen in Weatherfield before.

@bethtaylor19_ commented: “Todd needs to find his happy ever after but fantastic performance by both tonight.” @lsaacsmomma posted: “Todd deserves better.” @lucinderpx added: “Wow Theo is not taking any accountability is he. Todd deserves better! He may of been bad in the past but he’s grown since then.”
