Abusive associate Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has lastly been caught out in Coronation Street after he was heard by George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) shouting abuse at his now husband Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce).
Wednesday’s episode noticed the pair get married in a surprise wedding after a blindfolded Todd was led to the registry workplace by Theo. They had been introduced a wedded couple following Todd reciting his vows in an virtually trance-like state.
Now, Theo’s true self has been seen by George after he went to their flat to search out solutions in regards to the shock ceremony. Theo returns dwelling and assumes Todd is in the lavatory so begins to hurl abuse at him, remarking on his look.
However, unbeknown to Theo, it is not Todd he is shouting at, however really George.
George emerges from the lavatory to a visibly shaken Theo as Todd returns dwelling, having popped out to the outlets.
“It’s funny, isn’t it?” George feedback. “You can go to bed with Dr Jekyll, but wake up with Mr Hyde.”
George then later remembers what occurred on the flat to Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), saying: “That wasn’t a wedding. That was a kidnapping.
“Who did Todd have for his huge day? Gary and Maria. He would have needed us there, me and also you,” commenting on their lack of invite to the ceremony.
Naturally concerned, Summer questions George on whether he thinks Theo would ever be capable of being violent towards Todd.
“I’m afraid I do. If he hasn’t already,” George responds.
“Cast your thoughts again, the final 5, six months. Todd’s been all around the store. We’re the one household he is bought. We have to get him away from that monster.”
George and Summer then conspire on how they can help Todd and George sends him a supportive message offering him a place to stay.
Unfortunately, Todd sees the text but decides to ignore it and carry on as normal, demonstrating how indoctrinated by Theo he has become.
But hopefully will George and Summer now aware of Theo’s true personality, the abuse will be unable to carry on much longer.
