Can Todd finally escape? (Picture: Danielle Baguley/ITV)
Judgement day is about to arrive for one of Coronation Street’s villains.
The previously announced ‘whodunnit’ will finally reveal the victim next week, after months of clues, misdirects and fans theorising who’ll end up as Corrie’s latest donation to the morgue.
Boiler of bunnies, Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), master of sleaze, Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), slayer of husbands Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), psychopathic abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) and grotesque paedophile, Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) are all on the chopping block.
Next week will see each of the filthy five take centre stage on Monday through Thursday, while Friday will see the climax, with one of them guaranteed to take up their pre-booked place in hell when the week ends.
Kicking things off on Monday, though, is monstrous Theo who, now exposed for the violent and psychotic abuser he is, has come fully unhinged.
After months of every conceivable form of abuse and torture, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) finally sought to escape his living hell and break free from Theo, though Theo wasn’t willing to retract his claws from his ‘beloved’s’ body so easily, and unleashed a beating on him so savage that it rendered him hospitalised with a lacerated spleen.
Barely able to stand on his own two feet, Todd made it to Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien), pleading to be taken to the police station, where he finally opened up about all the pain and suffering that Theo had inflicted on him to Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).

This week sees George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) unleash on Theo after he terrorises Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) with the truth of his killing of Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), making it perfectly clear that if he continues to hurt the people George loves, he’ll suffer.
Meanwhile, Todd is planning to leave for Thailand to visit his mum and brother, Eileen and Jason (Sue Cleaver and Ryan Thomas), though it’s painfully apparent that Theo doesn’t plan on letting Todd go anywhere.
Next week, in their flat, Todd is struck with abject terror as Theo emerges, holding his suitcase. Though George arrives in the nick of time to protect a defenceless Todd, things turn violent quickly, but they manage to escape.
