Coronation Street Confirms Growing Concerns for Todd Grimshaw — Trouble Ahead for the Grimshaw–Takis Romance?

The drama in Weatherfield shows no sign of slowing down, and Todd Grimshaw is finding himself right in the eye of the storm. ITV’s early-access episodes on ITVX have confirmed

that several characters are growing increasingly concerned about Todd — and with good reason. His impulsive decisions, questionable behavior,

and simmering relationship tensions are all threatening to boil over, leaving viewers wondering whether one of Coronation Street’s staple couples may be headed for heartbreak.

What begins as a seemingly normal day in the Grimshaw household quickly spirals into something much darker. Todd, usually full of swagger and snark, appears lost, adrift,

and dangerously close to self-destruction.

A Struggling Todd — and an Unraveling Routine

When Theo lovingly serves Todd a bowl of homemade overnight oats — a gesture filled with care and hope — Todd barely hides his disdain. He jokes, but behind the humor lies frustration and exhaustion. Theo sees a man who’s spiraling: unhealthy habits, reckless decision-making, and a refusal to accept stability. In an emotional confession, Theo reveals just how deeply Todd’s welfare affects him:

“I love you too much to watch you throw your whole life away,” he pleads.

Determined to help, Theo plans a healthy dinner to keep Todd grounded. But Todd, always one step away from chaos, deflects — because he’s already got a plan brewing.

A business meeting — the supposed solution to all their financial woes.

Or… a ticking time bomb?

A Risky Business Move — and Old Wounds Reopened

Todd heads into town to reunite with Pete — a man whose past interactions with Todd are anything but professional. Their former deal ended badly, and Todd’s friends aren’t thrilled he’s giving Pete another shot. But Todd insists — desperate times call for desperate measures.

Pete immediately hints the job isn’t in the bag:

“There’s another contender in the ring,” he warns.

Todd is out of work, out of options, and out of patience. He needs this contract — even if it means putting his pride, and perhaps more, on the line.

Meanwhile, Summer and Billy begin noticing worrying cracks in Todd’s life. When Billy learns that Todd has quit his job with George — without any backup plan — concern grows.

Why would Todd hide something so important?

What else is he keeping secret?

Dinner Disaster: The Night Everything Changed

What should have been a romantic evening designed to reconnect Todd and Theo turns into a nightmare the moment Pete walks through the door — invited by Theo, no less.

Theo insists he had no choice. If they want Pete’s business, they need to keep him happy. Todd, already on edge, sees red:

“It’s bad enough you’re working with him… Bringing him here? Into our personal space?”

But the die is cast — the food is on the table, and the wine is flowing.

Todd is forced into a role he knows all too well: Mr. Charming. The performer. The manipulator.

And Pete? He laps it up.

He flirts. He teases. He drags Todd into inappropriate conversations laced with innuendo. Theo watches silently… but every comment becomes another crack in his heart.

Todd’s discomfort is clear — at least to him. But to Theo, his partner seems just a bit too good at this charade.

Too natural.

Jealousy, Pain… and the Truth About Todd’s Past

Todd plays along and soon realizes his performance has consequences. When Pete leaves — satisfied and with the promise of more work ahead — Theo finally confronts him.

It’s not anger in his voice.

It’s heartbreak.

“I thought I knew who you were… but I don’t know anymore.”

The betrayal of watching Todd work his charm — the same charm that once won him over — cuts deep. Suddenly, Theo must question everything about their relationship:

Was he just another mark?

Did Todd really love him?

Or was he just another Pete in waiting?

The argument escalates. Old wounds reopen.

Theo reminds Todd of his past — the one-night stand with his ex, and all the warning labels that came with loving a man like Todd Grimshaw. Todd defends himself passionately, insisting his feelings are real and everything he said to Pete was a lie.

But words aren’t enough anymore.

Not tonight.

A Love on the Edge

After the shouting, the accusations, and Todd’s desperate attempts to mend the moment with his lovingly prepared rhubarb crumble — Theo delivers the blow that leaves Todd broken:

“I think it’s best if you sleep in the spare room tonight.”

Those words hit harder than a punch.

Todd — confident, witty, always in control — suddenly looks lost.

Like a man who has built his entire life on charm and now finds it’s destroying the one thing he cannot bear to lose.

A Grim Road Ahead for Todd Grimshaw?

As Todd silently moves to the spare room, one truth becomes painfully clear:

Todd is not okay.

His job is gone.
His partner is hurt.
His friends are worried.

And his old habits are creeping back — the lies, the seduction, the self-sabotage.

Coronation Street fans know that Todd’s darkest impulses often lead to his most dramatic storylines. With Theo pulling away and Billy watching from the sidelines, the support system Todd needs is starting to fracture.

And with a morally dubious alliance forming between Todd, Theo, and Pete… things can only get messier.

What Happens Next?

Will Todd admit he needs help?
Can Theo forgive what he sees as emotional betrayal?
Is Pete about to wreak havoc in Weatherfield long-term?

The episode leaves viewers stunned, emotional, and craving answers. One thing is certain: the future of Todd Grimshaw’s love life — and mental resilience — hangs by a thread.
