Corrie star teases comeuppance for Todd as cruel lies return to haunt him

Coronation Street star Gareth Pierce has teased what's ahead for Todd Grimshaw, as he faces being exposed.

The character's return to the ITV soap last year saw him targeting Paul, the new lover of his ex Billy Mayhew.

He managed to tear the couple apart in his bid to get Billy back, wanting to be a family with him and his adopted daughter Summer.

The trio were a family unit before Todd went on the run a few years prior, and now he's thrilled to be back with them.

But the ruthless character's means of getting what he wanted saw Paul betrayed, and Billy tricked into believing he was better off without him.

Todd now faces turmoil though as it's clear someone is out to get him - with them sending him sinister notes threatening to expose his lies and what he's done.

Paul will be trying to prove what Todd is really like too, and it seems, knowing soap land, Todd could be on borrowed time.

With his shocking actions set to be revealed to Billy at some point, Todd actor Gareth has teased the fallout and whether comeuppance will come knocking.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, he teased the big scenes ahead and said: "I think it might make him re-examine himself.

"I think there’s a sense that he’s not enjoying and isn’t in control of the game anymore.

"I think when you step back from what he’s done, he hasn’t gone into the territory of murder or anything as heavy as that, but it’s almost like a criminal wanting to be found out. It’ll be awful but there will be freedom after everything comes out."

He added: "I don’t think we will see Todd’s moral compass completely reset. He’s always going to be a player.

"I hope we’ve done the scripts justice in terms of what we’ve brought to the screen."

Gareth continued: "Keep watching, it’s lovely we already have people conflicted. Dan and I have been saying, we’ve been doing this all from two metres, there’s only so much eyebrow tension you can give!

"I think it's lovely to see the audience have gone on the journey, so the payoff is greater."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
