If anyone deserves a break away from Coronation Street, it’s Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).
Poor Todd has had an horrific time over the past few months, thanks to Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright) abuse.
The couple began dating last year, and it didn’t take long for Theo to grow controlling and manipulative.
This escalated as the weeks went on into verbal, physical and financial abuse, culminating in a terrifying attack last week.
Todd was left bloodied after a violent beating from Theo, and spent the evening speaking to the police about Theo’s abuse, eventually being granted a restraining order.
However, this didn’t stop Theo from spending the night sleeping in his van on Coronation Street – something that Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) was quick to warn him not to do again.
Concerned for Todd, Kit paid him a visit at work to warn him about Theo’s presence, but assured him that if he came close to Todd again, it would be a breach of his restraining order.
As their conversation turned to Todd’s break away from the cobbles, Todd revealed that spending time away from Weatherfield had helped him relax, and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) suggested that another holiday may help.
Acting on this suggestion, Todd organised to fly out to Thailand to be with his family the next day.
Unfortunately, it may be too late, as it transpired that Theo had been lurking in the shadows, watching the house.
In upcoming scenes, Todd is set to come face to face with Theo once more, when he appears in their flat.
Though George and Todd manage to overpower Theo and escape, Todd’s rush to the airport is brought to a halt when he realises that he doesn’t have his phone – only to discover that it is in Theo’s possession.
