Coronation Street has revealed a surprise pregnancy as Todd Grimshaw and Theo Silverton’s storyline continues.
The pair have struck up a connection following Theo’s arrival in Weatherfield back in March, though romance hasn’t been so simple due to Theo’s personal circumstances, which has seen him live a life in the closet.
Despite gradually growing closer, Theo in particular has been reluctant to openly present his relationship, with the arrival of his estranged wife Danielle and daughter Millie causing even more drama.
After his marriage crumbled, Theo slowly became more comfortable with Todd, though the couple got a shock earlier this week as Millie arrived at the Grimshaw household. Despite being urged to return home by Theo, Millie begged the pair to let her stay.
In scenes set to air on Monday (9 June), Theo swiftly heads to an enraged Danielle to discuss the surprising development, leaving an annoyed Todd to take care of Millie in his own family home.
As the clock ticks by, Todd overhears Millie having a phone call, with Millie accusing him of “eavesdropping”. He promptly replies that she’s in his house, adding that something is “clearly wrong” given the nature of her call.
After pleading with Todd to keep any information hidden from her parents, a worried Millie shares that she is pregnant, leaving Todd stunned. Will he keep the matter a secret, and what does this mean for his relationship with Theo?
The developments come amid a tumultuous period for Todd, whose mother Eileen recently left the cobbled streets of Weatherfield for the sandy pastures of Thailand along with his brother, Jason.
Eileen’s departure, which also saw her relationship with George Shuttleworth come to an end, marked the final appearance of Sue Cleaver’s 25-year stint on the ITV soap, with the actor previously explaining that she “wanted to do something new”.
Just when things were finally starting to settle for Todd Grimshaw and his closeted love interest Theo Silverton, Coronation Street has dropped a major twist that’s set to rock Weatherfield: Millie is pregnant — and she’s begging Todd to keep her secret.
💔 From Hidden Romance to Parental Crisis
Theo and Todd’s slow-burn connection has been anything but simple. Since Theo’s arrival in March, the pair have danced around their feelings — hampered by Theo’s private struggles, a broken marriage, and a daughter caught in the crossfire.
Now, with Danielle (Theo’s estranged wife) furious and Millie turning up unexpectedly at the Grimshaw household, the emotional stakes are at an all-time high.
🍼 “I’m Pregnant” — Millie’s Confession Stuns Todd
In Monday’s (June 9) upcoming episode, Theo leaves Todd at home with Millie to confront Danielle about their daughter’s unexpected disappearance.
But as Todd overhears Millie whispering during a phone call, things quickly unravel.
“Are you eavesdropping on me?” Millie snaps.
“You’re in my house — and clearly something’s wrong,” Todd replies.
And then, the gut-punch: Millie confesses she’s pregnant.
Terrified, vulnerable, and begging Todd to keep the secret from her parents, Millie is now placing the fate of her future — and possibly Todd’s relationship — in his hands.
🤐 Will Todd Keep Her Secret — Or Risk Losing Theo?
Todd is now stuck in an impossible position: protect Millie’s trust, or betray her by telling Theo, the man he’s only just starting to build a life with. The bombshell threatens to pull the fragile new family apart before it’s even begun.
And with Eileen having just exited for Thailand — and Jason gone too — Todd is now alone, emotionally exposed, and juggling the weight of everyone else’s expectations.
🧩 A Tangle of Loyalties and Love
This twist comes at a time when Corrie is leaning hard into complex family dynamics and relationship fragility. Theo has only just begun confronting his own identity — could a pregnant teenage daughter force him to retreat further into denial? Or will this crisis finally push him to be the kind of father — and partner — he’s meant to be?
