Theo Sets a Trap Over Dinner With Pete | Coronation Street

A brand-new ITV preview has revealed that Coronation Street is about to dive even deeper into dark territory, and the tension on the cobbles shows no signs of slowing down.

As November unfolds, Weatherfield is set to erupt with emotional showdowns, shocking betrayals, and tragic consequences — and at the center of it all lies Theo Silverton,

whose manipulative grasp on Todd Grimshaw tightens with every episode.

What began as a seemingly romantic relationship between Theo and Todd has spiraled into a chilling psychological nightmare. Once confident and quick-witted, Todd now finds himself a shell of his former self, crushed under Theo’s controlling influence. Behind closed doors, Todd is trapped in a relentless cycle of emotional and physical torment — and viewers can only watch in horror as his world begins to unravel.

But Theo’s next move is far more dangerous than anyone realizes. In a tense upcoming episode, Theo invites Pete, one of Todd’s closest confidants, to dinner under the guise of reconciliation. However, sources reveal that this seemingly innocent meal is anything but — it’s a carefully crafted trap designed to manipulate Todd even further and eliminate any remaining support he might have.

As the evening unfolds, Theo’s charm masks a chilling agenda. He subtly undermines Todd, twisting the truth, and painting himself as the misunderstood victim of Todd’s “emotional instability.” Pete, sensing something isn’t right, tries to probe deeper, but Theo’s manipulation is seamless. Viewers can expect a tense showdown when Todd finally catches on that the dinner was a setup — and the fallout may finally push him to breaking point.

Elsewhere in Weatherfield, heartbreak brews for David and Shona Platt. The couple, already on edge, are forced to confront devastating news about their unborn baby. Their relationship begins to fracture as they struggle to cope with fears about their child’s health. David, determined to face reality, urges honesty, while Shona clings to denial, terrified of what the truth might mean. Their dinner with family at the Bistro turns explosive when David blurts out that their baby might not survive, leaving Shona crushed and storming out in tears. The moment leaves fans questioning whether the Platts can ever recover from such a devastating blow.

Meanwhile, Abby Webster’s turbulent love life takes yet another dramatic turn. Still reeling from her split with Kevin and her complicated involvement with Carl Webster, Abby’s temper once again gets the better of her. After a cruel taunt from Tracy Barlow — suggesting Kevin was the only good parent Alfie ever had — Abby lashes out, punching Tracy in the middle of the Rovers. But the real heartbreak comes when Abby realizes Kevin saw everything. The scene sets the stage for yet another emotional collapse as Abby’s desperate attempt to rebuild her life spirals out of control.

Carla Connor also finds herself under fire when she’s suddenly accused of fraud at the factory. Just as she’s planning a romantic anniversary celebration with Lisa Swain, a police officer arrives at her door, summoning her to the station. Furious and humiliated, Carla is convinced Becky Swain — Lisa’s troubled ex — is behind the allegations. Though she’s eventually cleared, the ordeal reignites her feud with Becky, who’s determined to reclaim the life and family she lost. For fans of the “Swarla” pairing, this new twist promises fireworks, betrayal, and perhaps the breaking point of one of Weatherfield’s most complicated love stories.

While chaos reigns across town, Roy Cropper finds himself hiding a mysterious new secret. Nina grows suspicious as Roy becomes increasingly secretive, obsessing over letters from an unknown correspondent. Ed Bailey’s installation of a new “library box” at the café — supposedly inspired by Roy’s mysterious pen pal — only deepens the intrigue. Who is Roy communicating with, and why is he keeping it hidden from everyone he loves?

In another corner of Weatherfield, Tim Metcalfe and Sally Webster’s marriage faces turbulence of its own. When Sally’s jealousy over Tim’s ex, Trisha, boils over in public, it leads to a humiliating misunderstanding — and an angry confrontation that leaves Tim snapping at young Brody, a moment that may change how others see him forever.

And in a chilling callback to one of the street’s most terrifying storylines, actor Todd Boyce — who played serial killer Stephen Reid — recently revealed that the original ending for his character was very different. Speaking candidly, Boyce explained that producers had initially planned for Stephen’s romance with Jenny Connor to develop into a full-fledged love story before his eventual downfall. “We thought we’d go another six months,” he said, noting that his sinister turn was meant to hit even harder after viewers had grown comfortable with a calmer, more domestic version of Stephen.

But fate — and fan fury — had other ideas. Viewers demanded justice, leading to Stephen’s shocking death when Peter Barlow struck him with his car, ending his reign of terror instantly. Though Peter escaped prison, the guilt haunted him. In a poignant farewell, Carla Connor gifted him a one-way ticket to Spain, urging him to rebuild his life away from the shadows of Weatherfield.

Now, as Coronation Street moves into its most explosive stretch of 2025, the cobbles are once again crackling with danger, secrets, and heartbreak. Theo’s dinner trap threatens to shatter Todd’s fragile grip on reality. Abby’s violent outburst could destroy what’s left of her family. And Carla’s battle with Becky is on the verge of turning into an all-out war.

Fans can expect a storm of emotion, deceit, and long-awaited confrontation — because in Coronation Street, no secret stays buried for long, and every dinner table hides a dagger.
