New Coronation Street Trailer Signals Dark Turn for Todd Grimshaw as Abuse Plot Escalates

ITV signals a deliberate slow-burn build to Christmas focusing on coercive control in the Todd–Theo storyline.

Overview

  • A fresh ITV trailer shows Todd withdrawing from loved ones as he endures ongoing mental and physical abuse from partner Theo Silverton.
  • Episode previews reveal Theo sabotaging Todd’s workday by ruining his shirts and alarm, pushing conflict with George Shuttleworth while disguising the manipulation as support.
  • Further coercion includes food shaming, a push to court business with Todd’s former fling Pete, and a pointed decision to train with James Bailey to unsettle Todd.
  • David Platt discloses the couple’s unborn baby has a neck tumour despite Shona’s hesitation, leaving the family reeling and tensions high.
  • Abi Webster lashes out at Tracy Barlow after a provocation with Kevin witnessing, as separate teasers show Carla Connor questioned over a fraud complaint then released and Roy Cropper quietly writing to a mystery correspondent.
