Countdown to Christmas 2025! CORONATION STREET THREAD. **No spoilers please.**

[SabreIsMyFave]

Christmas is close, 🎄 we've had minus temperatures for a wee while, and the darker days and sunset by 4pm is with us.

Let Undead Becky continue to bore and annoy us! Let nasty Theo continue to infuriate us! Let the potential child grooming storylines shock us! Let Carl Chuckle Brother continue to shag anything with a pulse! (And hopefully dump Abi!) AND let's get ready for Christmaaaaaaaaaas!!!!!! 🎅❄🎄

Can't add anything to what people have said. What a brilliant episode last night's was! Claustrophobic and sinister and dark. Very well done to everyone involved.

Looking forward to seeing which way it's going to go now. Hope Theo doesn't end up as the 'wounded party...' 🙄

Yes I agree. I didn’t think George and Chrissy would lean towards Theo so quickly, or that Sarah would get sucked into his charm so easily- she has noticed Todd is more insular lately.

Billy and Summer won't be taken in by the awful Theo

I watched about 10 mins of the quiz last night but it's not really my thing 🫤

Me neither but every bloody year I still watch it then get annoyed at myself for watching it

Isn't the quiz usually on nearer to Christmas? It felt too early and I wasn't really in the mood for it.

You didn't miss much @QueenStevie . A clip of the Emmerdale Corrie crossover but it was fast and dark so I'm no further forward.

Todd sounding extremely guilty but George utterly clueless

I missed the first 5 mins, have they shown what happened after the cameras were found??

I meant Theo, keep getting this wrong

They seemed to brush over it pretty quickly, all friends now

George...don't believe Theo please.

I think Christina is the only hope

What was the shoplifting thing about...

LET DEEDEE HAVE HER BABY

Much calmer episode than yesterday's traumatic programme.
@eggandonion Janie and Shanice took wine from Dev's shop as a present for their mum in prison.
Scene setting for Will and Megan relationship to blow open soon. Maggie Driscoll showing a very nasty side.
Theo knows all the tricks..making it look as if Todd is the villain here.

I'd forgotten Brody existed. The Ed family could all go to Singapore but not Uncle Ronnie.

James has the same grasp on geography as Alya

There is no way that an edited video could be used as evidence

Oh Todd will you please just LTB

I think George, Crissy etc are trying to be supportive of the couple (T & T).in general. They don't know what we know and until Garry made people aware of what he heard, people had no reason to suspect there were any issues at all.
We can see Christina's mind ticking over. She might just piece things together. However without any disclosures from Todd no one can help him regardless.
Todd could be seen by George to be acting guilty and ashamed following the events of the other night. He's not saying anything to contradict Theo, and George has no idea of the dynamic between them.
Todd has a lot of people who care for him. Whilst his time with them has been curtailed recently he's still been around. Its no surprise people are perplexed by recent events and unable to see the situation for what it is..
We don't know exactly what Bernie heard. She hasn't said (not sure why) but if everyone has a discussion and discloses the information they each have it would provide a better picture of what's going on.
Maybe Crissy could do some digging and speak to people. Surely she's aware Bernie and Dev heard things firsthand.
Otherwise things will come to a head again in the near future with potentially devastating consequences.
The last thing anyone wants is Todd banged up and Theo free to abuse another unsuspecting bloke wielding a huge victim complex that will draw in anyone who has empathy. The typical narcissist/empath cycle will begin and Theo has the potential to commit murder.

It would be interesting if Corrie went down the road of Theo jumping into another same sex relationship (as narcissists do) and Todd being painted as 'the psycho ex.' I'm not sure if I can cope with it drawing out much longer though.

Re the edited video, was that on Todd's repaired lap top or Theo's?
And in the first episode with all the camera footage, were there more cameras than on Theo's edit? Hoping Theo didn't find all the cameras.

I think Todd's laptop was black, whereas Theo's was silver, so hopefully the footage is still accessible.

Todd definitely set up at least two cameras, possibly three - I can't remember exactly. So hopefully the other one(s) is still recording. I assume Todd's is still in shock over what happened, and has forgotten that they're there.

I wonder if Theo will allow Todd to return to work with George?

Yes I was wondering about him being able to go to work.

also when they were having the discussion last night, I’m surprised Todd didn’t mention about the other things Theo had done previously like locking him in a room, smashing his head into a mirror, not allowing him to see friends, being unfaithful etc.

I’ve got a feeling people will believe Theo ( for a while anyway ) as Todd was quite manipulative himself when he arrived back on the street.
Wasn’t he trying to break Billy & Paul up by dubious means?

But Todd has been a nice guy for years now. Trying to break up Paul and Billy was years ago, and he repented and was lovely during Paul's illness. And he has never been violent to anyone. The one person I don't think would believe it is Billy who has been in a relationship with him.

And Todd is visibly scared and flinches when Theo touches him, yet nobody seems to pick that up.

I agree with PP that Theo has the potential to kill, and if he realises someone has worked out what is going on, that's probably who he will kill (or try to). I thought he might hospitalise Todd but I don't think he can really afford to given his story now is that Todd is the abuser.
