Coronation Street delivers another jaw-dropping twist that has left viewers speechless and Todd Grimshaw emotionally shattered. Just as Todd begins
to believe in love again with the charming and mysterious newcomer Theo Silverton, a revelation from Theo’s daughter Millie changes everything.
The romance between Todd and Theo has captivated fans, not least because of the complexity and emotional baggage both men carry. Todd, having endured betrayal
and heartbreak in past relationships, cautiously opened his heart to Theo. But the burgeoning romance hits a devastating obstacle when Millie stuns Todd with a confession that threatens to unravel everything he’s come to trust.
In an emotionally charged scene at the Bistro, Millie corners Todd and announces, “I’m pregnant. And Theo’s known for weeks.” The shock is palpable. Todd is blindsided, reeling from the news that the man he is falling for has kept such a monumental secret from him. Theo’s silence, combined with Millie’s secrecy, leaves Todd questioning everything. “I thought we had something real,” he later confides to friend Sean. “Now I don’t know what to believe.”
But the drama doesn’t stop there. Millie adds another twist: the baby’s father is someone from Weatherfield. The cryptic confession sends rumors flying and fans into a frenzy. Who could it be? Is it someone close to Todd? Or another secret Theo has been hiding?
Whispers on the cobbles suggest that Millie’s pregnancy might be just the tip of the iceberg. Insiders hint that Theo could be hiding an entire shadowy past—one that might connect him to recent sabotage at the funeral parlor or even Gary Windass’s mysterious attack. Could Theo’s interest in Todd have been strategic all along?
Speculation intensifies when Millie is seen in a hushed conversation with Dylan Wilson. Their clandestine meeting outside Roy’s Rolls hints at a forbidden romance, leading many to believe Dylan could be the baby’s father. If true, this twist would not only explode Millie’s world but create chaos for Dylan as well, dragging Sean, Todd, and Maria into the storm.
Todd, heartbroken and furious, confronts Theo in a dramatic showdown at Victoria Gardens. “How could you keep this from me? I opened my heart to you,” he cries. But Theo remains elusive, responding, “You don’t know the whole story. And you might not want to.”
Is Theo protecting his daughter? Or is he hiding something far more sinister?
Meanwhile, actor Gareth Pierce, who plays Todd, reveals that his character’s feelings for Theo are genuine. “Todd has fallen for Theo’s personality,” Gareth shares. “He wants to support him, especially as Theo struggles with his identity. But the lies are beginning to take a toll.”
Adding to the emotional turbulence is Todd’s personal grief. With his mother Eileen now in Thailand and his brother Jason gone, Todd is the last Grimshaw on the street. The weight of family absence and betrayal begins to wear him down.
Millie, on the other hand, is increasingly consumed by her own deception. It is soon revealed that her pregnancy is a complete fabrication—a desperate attempt to lure Theo back to the family home. When she finally admits the truth, the fallout is immediate and devastating. Todd is left feeling duped, and Theo is forced to confront the damage his daughter’s lie has caused.
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, other storm clouds are brewing. Brody Malis is unraveling after learning Kit Green is his biological father, leading to violent outbursts and a public altercation. Debbie Webster faces her own heartbreaking journey after being diagnosed with early-onset dementia, with actor Sue Devaney earning praise for her raw and honest portrayal.
As for the fake pregnancy bombshell, it sets off a ripple effect that threatens to tear several families apart. With more confrontations, betrayals, and emotional reckonings ahead, one thing is clear: Coronation Street is not holding back.
