He caught the eye of Todd Grimshaw during his first appearance in Weatherfield
Coronation Street fans think they have ‘worked out’ what Theo Silverton is hiding as he caught the eye of Todd Grimshaw during his first appearance in Weatherfield.
The new character was unveiled earlier this month with actor James Cartwright taking on the role. He was then seen making his debut as the new potential love interest for Todd during an unusual Tuesday (March 25) trip to the famous Street.
With his mum Eileen revealing how Julie Carp wants to live her final days to the full having been given a terminal cancer diagnosis, Todd sorted a trip to a cocktail bar for them.
As the two sisters got glammed up, Julie pretends to take her medication but secretly puts it away. As they headed to the tram, Julie was suddenly hit by pain and leaned on the wall for support but at the same time a piece of scaffolding fell and narrowly missed her.
Theo, the site manager apologises, although later told George Shuttleworth that Julie was clearly faking her pain as the scaffolding missed her by miles. But when George revealed that Julie has terminal cancer, Theo was left mortified.
In a bid to make amends, Theo told Todd that he’d like to buy Julie some flowers and offering him a flirtatious smile, Todd showed him the way to the florist before Theo popped round to Eileen’s to issue his apology.
While there’s clearly a bit of spark between Todd and Theo, Corrie fans think the latter may be hiding something and are calling for Todd to get a proper romance.
@Momrocks50 said: “Theo running out on Todd perhaps he has not come out yet or married i really want nice romance for Todd #corrie.” @itsalexworldx wrote: “Poor todd did he just get ditched #Corrie.”
@RyanTheSoapking commented: “Please make Theo genuine. Todd deserves a decent love interest. #Corrie.” @playsbyme added: “Like Todd, I, too, am a fan of the hot new construction worker on #CoronationStreet. #corrie @itvcorrie.”
It comes after actor Gareth Pierce gave an insight into what is going on with Todd and Theo. He revealed: “There are moments of connection, but then when Todd tries to ascertain whether this is a date or not Theo tenses up and is all ‘woah, what are you on about mate?’ and leaves quite abruptly.”
Gareth added “Well yeah, it certainly confirms he’s not straight! That lets Todd know that Theo might be interested and that theres that physical attraction..”
