Coronation Street’s Theo Silverton has turned violent in frightening scenes, as his inner struggle continues to escalate.

This week, Theo’s new relationship with Todd has faced another obstacle, when a fake dating profile was set up in his name – and Todd suggested that someone was trying to split them up.

While Theo suspected that the culprit was his wife Danielle, in today’s episode she told him that she wasn’t responsible, and Theo believed her.

Todd dragged Theo along to the drag night being held in the Rovers to take his mind off things, but Theo was busy texting his daughter Millie and couldn’t enjoy the evening properly.

Desperate for Theo to have a relaxing night, Todd secretly switched his partner’s phone to airplane mode.

Theo assumed that Millie had stopped texting him, but when he later discovered what Todd had done, he was horrified that he had missed calls from Danielle – as Millie was in hospital.

He was furious that Todd’s actions had kept him out the loop while Millie was in danger, so he stormed out of the pub.

When Todd approached him outside, Theo suddenly flew off the handle and raged at his boyfriend, threatening to knock his teeth out if he ever comes near his family again.

Todd was left shaken by this encounter and was comforted by George back at home. He explained his fears about Theo and compared it to his damaging experience with ex-boyfriend Sam more than a decade ago.

George encouraged Todd to be patient with Theo, and the pair soon got their relationship back on track after it was confirmed that Millie was fine.

But when they later went to the Bistro, Theo was approached by the drag queen from the Rovers, who said that his anger in the pub ruined his performance.

As the conversation escalated, Theo’s temper took over once again and he snapped, leaving Todd more concerned than ever.
