Very Shocking Update: George’s suspicions of Coronation Street abuser Theo confirmed as he plans action
George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) was clearly suspicious of the circumstances surrounding Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and Theo Silverton’s (James Cartwright)
wedding in Coronation Street this week, and Theo’s actions in tonight’s episode proved he was right to worry. Theo has been abusing Todd since the beginning of their relationship last year,
but so far the only person to learn the full extent of it has been Billy Mayhew. After Todd confided in the vicar, Theo left him to die in the Corriedale pile-up to silence him and keep Todd trapped in their relationship.
Things have continued to escalate since then, until Theo unexpectedly called things off after threatening Todd with a knife.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end for their relationship, with Theo secretly organising their wedding earlier this week, with Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) as witnesses.
George Shuttleworth has finally seen Theo Silverton’s true colours
Following the ceremony, George was put out about not having been invited, and suggested to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) that perhaps Todd hadn’t had much of a say in organising the event.
Tonight, his fears were confirmed when he paid Todd a visit, only for Theo to arrive home while Todd had nipped out.
Having been for a run to cool off after Todd turned him down for sex, Theo’s mood clearly hadn’t improved by the time he got back.
Believing that it was Todd in the bathroom, Theo continued to make vile comments about Todd’s weight and his refusal to have sex again that morning.
However, when Todd returned home and George emerged from the bathroom, Theo played it all off as a joke.
Unfortunately for him, it was too late, as the scales had clearly fallen from George’s eyes.
George relayed the experience to Summer, sharing his concerns that Todd hadn’t been himself for months.
When Summer questioned what they could do to help Todd, George asserted that they needed to ‘get him away from that monster’.
Determined to keep Todd safe, George offered him his old room back – but will Todd accept? Or will Theo win him over once again?
