Corrie – Todd Confronts Theo After Making a Shocking Discovery About His Outburst and Pete’s Identity

Tensions in Coronation Street reach boiling point this week as Todd finds himself caught between loyalty, love, and betrayal

when he uncovers the real reason behind Theo’s explosive outburst and the shocking truth about Pete’s identity. What begins as a professional disagreement soon spirals

into a deeply personal confrontation that threatens to shatter Theo and Todd’s already fragile relationship — and leave lasting consequences for everyone involved.

The drama unfolds when Gary reports a disturbing incident involving Theo and a contractor. While Theo brushes it off as a simple misunderstanding, Gary paints a different picture — one where Theo aggressively squared up to the man, creating an atmosphere of real intimidation. It’s a side of Theo few have seen, and Todd is stunned to hear the details. Though Theo insists he’s merely “going through some stuff,” Gary warns that if he loses this contract, his business could crumble entirely.

Determined to help, Gary arranges a meeting in hopes of salvaging the deal, even vouching for Theo’s work ethic. But things take an unexpected turn when Todd learns that the contractor, Pete, has a much more complicated connection to Theo — one that has nothing to do with business.

In a shocking twist, Todd discovers that Theo and Pete once had a romantic encounter — a secret Theo failed to mention. When Todd confronts him, the betrayal hits hard. “You don’t get it, do you?” Todd fumes. “We said absolute honesty. How am I supposed to trust you when you keep something like this from me?”

Theo, feeling cornered and humiliated, lashes out in frustration. He insists that his personal life shouldn’t matter, especially when his livelihood is on the line. But Todd won’t let it go. The revelation that Theo lied — not just about Pete, but about the chaos surrounding his collapsing business — leaves Todd questioning everything about their relationship.

The confrontation becomes emotionally charged as Theo tries to defend himself. He argues that Todd’s constant questioning is only making things worse, claiming that he’s under enough pressure without being judged. “It doesn’t matter, Todd,” he says bitterly. “Because I’m still broke. I’m out here trying to fix it all, and you badgering me over one small detail is the last thing I need.”

Yet despite his words, Theo’s emotional façade begins to crack. When George innocently drops by to offer a restaurant voucher — a gesture meant to cheer them up — Todd becomes suspicious. He realizes that George’s pitying tone means he knows too much about their financial troubles. It doesn’t take long for Todd to piece together that Theo must have told George about losing the contract.

The situation quickly escalates as Todd demands answers. “We’re going to sit here until you tell me why George thinks we’re a charity case,” he demands. Theo, weary and defeated, admits that he might have let it slip — and that he’d also asked George for a salary review to ease their financial strain. But instead of gratitude, Todd feels betrayed once more. “You had no right to tell him,” he snaps. “It was our business.”

The argument exposes the couple’s growing divide. Todd’s pride is wounded, while Theo’s self-esteem crumbles under the weight of professional failure. As emotions spiral, Theo breaks down, finally confessing that he’s lost not just one but all of his contracts. His voice trembles as he admits, “I’m a failure, Todd. I thought I could deal with it, but I can’t deal with anything.”

Todd, moved by Theo’s honesty, softens. For the first time, he sees the desperation behind Theo’s anger — a man terrified of losing everything he’s built. Then comes one more revelation: Pete, the contractor Theo clashed with, had made a pass at him. Theo rejected him, but now realizes Pete’s vindictive streak may have cost him every opportunity he had left. “He wanted revenge,” Theo says quietly. “And I gave him the reason.”

The confession hits Todd hard. It explains Theo’s erratic behavior and the secrecy surrounding his professional troubles. Still, it doesn’t erase the pain of being shut out. Todd reminds Theo that honesty has to go both ways. “This is why we’ve got to tell each other everything,” he says. “And I’m including myself in that. I should’ve told you about asking George for a pay rise. But it’s supposed to be a team game.”

By the end of the episode, both men are emotionally exhausted — torn between love and resentment, guilt and compassion. Theo’s vulnerability softens Todd’s anger, but trust is not easily rebuilt. With Theo’s business in ruins and their relationship hanging by a thread, the question remains: can they find a way to heal, or has too much damage been done?

As the credits roll, viewers are left with a haunting image of Theo sitting alone, staring at the shattered remains of his once-promising career, while Todd silently wonders if their love can survive the weight of so many secrets.

Coronation Street once again proves its mastery at blending personal drama with powerful emotional storytelling. This episode peels back the layers of pride, shame, and forgiveness in a relationship under strain, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what comes next. Will Todd’s compassion outweigh his hurt? Will Theo manage to rebuild his business — and his life — before it’s too late?

One thing’s for sure: Weatherfield’s storms are far from over, and this latest twist ensures the drama is only just beginning.
