Theo loses his temper after accusing Todd of ruining his birthday in Corrie

Has he pushed Todd too far this time?

7-13 MARCH

After Todd and Summer sing him Happy Birthday, Theo unwraps his presents and is clearly underwhelmed.

In the bistro, Theo invites Gary and Maria to join him for his birthday lunch as Todd is running late at work. As he rushes in, Theo shoots him daggers. With lunch over, Theo hands Todd the bill and insists they treat Gary and Maria. Sheepishly, Todd has to tell Nick that he’s only got £80.

Back at home, Theo accuses Todd of ruining his birthday and orders him to get a bottle of wine. When Todd suggests coffee instead, Theo loses it.

As Todd tidies up the broken crockery from last night’s fight, he tells George he won’t be coming into work. When Gary clocks Theo waking up in his van, he makes out that Todd’s worried about money and they had an argument.

When Todd makes some soup, when he can’t get the blender to work, he loses his temper and throws it. Arriving to pick up some clothes for Theo, Gary surveys the mess.

Upset, Todd tells Gary that he wants to patch things up and having been summoned by Gary, Theo calls at the flat to talk. Alone in the flat, Todd worries that Theo could return at any time.

In the Rovers, George, Christina, Sarah and James rally round Todd in a bid to cheer him up, but when Todd spots Theo, he’s overcome with emotion and leaves. Theo follows and suggests they need to talk.

As James guides a drunken Todd home, Theo watches from the shadows.

The following day, Theo overhears Summer telling George how James stayed the night on the sofa.

Meanwhile, in Speed Daal, Theo clocks Adam with a client, and when Gary reveals it’s Annie, the woman accusing George of fraud, Theo sidles over.

As Todd and Christina read out fake news articles, destroying his reputation, a gloomy George listens, whilst in The Rovers, Maggie reads the same and worries that the pub will be tainted by association.

Spotting George in the bar, Maggie labels him the local conman and tells him he’s no longer welcome. But when Todd and Christina leap to his defence, Maggie bars them too.

Meanwhile, Theo tracks Todd on his app.
