Theo Silverton on the run in Coronation Street murder week
Monday night’s Coronation Street (April 27) saw Todd caught up in a terrifying showdown with Theo.
After telling George he would be late to the Rovers, Todd was left stunned when Theo appeared uninvited in the flat. What started as Theo insisting on cooking a ‘last meal’ quickly took a sinister turn, spiralling into violence. In a chilling moment, Theo even urged Todd to stab him as Todd fought back with a knife in self defence.
George arrived just in time, helping Todd trap Theo in the bedroom before the pair escaped and called the police. But by the time Kit and his team showed up, Theo had already made his move, climbing down scaffolding and slipping away to hide nearby.
George then bundled Todd into a taxi and sent him off to the airport for his own safety. However, things quickly went wrong when Todd realised he had left his phone behind and returned home before his planned trip to Thailand.
In a tense twist, Todd found himself face to face with Theo once more, who was now holding his phone.
