In Coronation Street, new arrival Theo (James Cartwright) has been raising eyebrows since day one—and Todd (Gareth Pierce) may be the latest character to get burned by someone hiding more than a few secrets. Theo came onto the scene claiming he wasn’t gay, but the very same night, Todd caught him on a dating app. Since then, their connection has only gotten murkier, with Theo sneaking around the back to visit Todd and making sure no one spots them together. Red flags? All over the place.

In upcoming episodes, the plot thickens. Theo offers Todd a heartfelt apology for his mixed messages and even confesses that he really likes him. But just when things seem like they might take a romantic turn, Theo shows up unexpectedly at the funeral parlour with a mysterious reason: he claims he’s there to arrange a funeral. What happens next completely blindsides Todd—he makes a shocking discovery about Theo that could turn everything upside down.

Confused and rattled, Todd turns to Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) for advice. Billy doesn’t hold back and warns him to stay far away from Theo. But will Todd take that advice—or will his heart lead him straight into danger once again?

Actor James Cartwright teases that Theo might not be what he seems, admitting the character arrives with good intentions but may end up ruffling feathers. With lines like “I think I left my trousers in the bedroom,” viewers can expect drama, mystery, and a heavy dose of scandal in the episodes ahead.

Keep watching—because when secrets come knocking in Weatherfield, heartbreak is never far behind.
