Theo’s Past Resurfaces and Sparks Tension
Tensions between Billy, Todd, and Theo have been growing for weeks. Theo’s disturbing history came to light when he revealed to Todd that he had endured conversion therapy. Matters worsened when his ex-wife Danielle began a relationship with Noah Hedley, the same man responsible for that trauma. Through it all, Billy stood by both Todd and Theo.
He supported them when Todd lashed out violently at Noah, though he later grew worried about the influence Theo’s past behaviour might have on Todd. Billy’s concerns only deepened as Theo’s temper started to show. When Gemma arranged drinks in memory of her brother Paul, who died last year from MND, Theo bristled at the thought of Todd attending with Billy. He manipulated Todd into staying home, but his anger grew when Billy made efforts to reach out to Theo’s son Miles.
Coronation Street: Theo Forces Todd to Cut Ties with Billy
Theo’s frustration finally boiled over when he gave Todd an ultimatum: choose their relationship or his friendship with Billy. Todd reluctantly agreed to cut Billy out of his life, which left Theo feeling victorious. He walked into mediation with Danielle full of confidence, only for that confidence to crumble when he saw her arrive with Noah. His rage carried over into the evening.
On returning home, he discovered Todd had gone against his word and met Billy at the Rover’s. The betrayal sent Theo into a downward spiral, and he drowned his anger in brandy. The next day, he crossed paths with Billy again and made no secret of his fury. Even then, Billy refused to back down. His instinct to help remained strong, but his determination to confront Theo left him vulnerable to the scaffolder’s jealousy.
Daniel Brocklebank Confirms His Exit
Daniel Brocklebank, who has played Billy for more than a decade, reflected on his time with the show. He said Coronation Street had been part of his life for a quarter of a century, and he always loved going to work. He admitted he felt sad to leave but also excited about what the future might hold.
Producer Kate Brooks explained that Billy’s exit would centre around a major storyline, one that would test him more than ever before. She said it would be very hard to say goodbye to Daniel, praising his moving performances in recent years, especially during Paul’s MND storyline. She described him as a remarkable actor and a joy behind the scenes, someone who will be greatly missed on the cobbles.
With Theo’s anger intensifying, the vicar’s kindness may come at a devastating price. As his story reaches its climax, the danger around him threatens to seal his tragic fate. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest Coronation Street news and updates.
