Todd stages return and immediately declares his love in Coronation Street

Todd’s back in Weatherfield, and it it’s anything but smooth sailing (Picture: ITV) Todd Grimshaw is back in Weatherfield next week, and he’s barely had time to unpack before getting caught up in a whole load of Coronation Street drama. The character, played by Gareth Pierce, returns from Thailand and quickly finds himself pulled into Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien) increasingly difficult situation behind bars. Sarah sends Todd a visiting order and he heads to the prison to see her. While there, he reassures her that she’s a good mate and tells her that he’ll always love her. It’s a sweet moment between the pair, but Sarah has much bigger things on her mind. She opens up to Todd about Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), explaining that she ended their relationship because she wanted to protect his career. Sarah knows that getting involved in her situation could put Kit in a difficult position, so she made the painful decision to walk away.

She explains that her son has been arrested for armed robbery and begs Sarah to speak to Kit, hoping he might be able to do something to help. Sarah tries to explain that she and Kit are no longer together and there’s nothing she can do, but Kacey isn’t willing to take no for an answer. She threatens Sarah, leaving her seriously worried about what might happen next (Picture: ITV) Sarah then calls Todd from prison and tells him what’s going on. Back on the street, Todd approaches Kit and tells him that Sarah wants to see him. She hasn’t said exactly what she needs, but Todd makes it clear that she believes it’s important. Kit agrees to visit Sarah, but he isn’t exactly thrilled when he hears what she wants. Sarah explains that she needs him to help Kacey, but Kit reminds her that getting involved could cost him his job. He also points out that Sarah was the one who ended their relationship because she didn’t want him risking his career for her. It leaves Sarah stuck between trying to help Kacey and protecting Kit from getting dragged into the mess. And things are only about to get worse, as Kacey’s threats eventually turn violent. Meanwhile, Todd’s got other problems… While Sarah deals with the fallout from behind bars, Todd has plenty of his own problems to contend with on the cobbles. George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) are excitedly looking forward to heading to Somerset to visit George’s cousins, but their plans soon hit a snag. Todd lets slip that Christina has been on yet another spending spree, and George isn’t impressed. Christina’s spending problem remains out of hand… (Picture: ITV) He tells Christina that she’s no longer welcome to join him on the trip, leaving her furious. Todd also gets caught up in the funeral arrangements for Celeste (Frances Barber), who arrives at the undertakers with her driver, Fraser. Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) quickly takes a shine to Fraser and wastes no time inviting him for a drink. Things seem to be going well when Fraser gives her his number and agrees to go on a date with her. But there’s something Glenda doesn’t know. While alone with Todd, Celeste reveals that the funeral they’re planning is actually her own. She only has six weeks to live. The pair get to work planning her final send-off, with Celeste opting for a Dolly Parton-themed funeral before she heads off with Fraser. Glenda is thrilled about her date, but Todd soon gets wind of something that changes everything. Glenda, Mary and Christina have already been getting on Todd’s case about his heavy drinking since he returned from Thailand. Mary, Glenda and Christina all worry about Todd and his drinking (Picture: ITV) Glenda warns him that if he keeps treating everyone around him like dirt, he’s going to end up without any friends. Todd clearly isn’t taking the criticism very well. Then, when Celeste visits the undertakers again and casually reveals that Fraser is gay, Todd sees an opportunity. Rather than letting Glenda continue thinking she has a romantic future with Fraser, Todd decides to get his own back on her. And considering how much Glenda is looking forward to their date, it looks like Todd’s plan could leave her seriously embarrassed. So, while Todd might have returned to Weatherfield with a promise of friendship and a few words of love for Sarah, he quickly finds himself at the centre of yet more chaos.
