Anyone else think that he will be paired off with Ken Barlow's grandson who is also coming back?

I can't see him getting together with Sean or Marcus, so it seems an obvious choice I would have thought?

Will be weird to see Todd with Sean again given that Todd was the reason Sean was introdiced to the show yet he left really soon after before Sean really got established.

Isn't Todd living in London with his boyfriend. Unless they'll break them up. I am sure this will have something to do with Eileen rather than have every gay paired off.

Is he even returning? Sharon Marshall said on Monday nothing had been agreed or signed yet which contradicted the news report in The Sun.

And isn't Canal Street just up the way?

I don't think Bruno would return if he was given a romance. He left because he didn't want to be a gay character with a boyfriend - the coming out story was a different matter. Once Todd was out and proud, Bruno left suddenly.

When he returned for Sarah and Jason's wedding, if memory serves, Todd was living with his boyfriend Ben, I think his name was, in London but they'd had some kind of arguement, so Todd was there on his own.
A clever way of making sure Todd wasn't with anyone for his visit.

Could be wrong, of course, and as there's never any kissing on Corrie between men, he might not be bothered, but he left originally before Todd could be paired off with someone, so, who knows.

Throught he's only back for a short time, so unlikely.
And yeah, I don't think Bruno would return if that was in the plan.

How many gay characters can one street have!
In the UK about one in eight people are gay...theres like 50 odd people on the street?

so there should be about ten gays so we're on minority here!

Nick is 4 and a half years older than Todd. They were like 23 and 19 last time they were in together, but they didn't really look that much different in age.

They would be 30 and a half and 26 if Todd was to appear around the middle of the year.

I have a funny feeling they won't look around the same age now! Bruno is 2 years older than Todd so he'd be 28.11 years younger than the bloke who plays Nick.
Crikey. lol

Where did you get that from? The highest estimate for homosexuality was around 10%, but more valid surveys come in at 3-5%, with the ONS estimating 1.5%,

I did wonder if they'd do any scene with him and Nick, but to be fair I think it was a long time before Leeanne had any scenes with him, so I doubt it to be honest.

sharon marshall is the most useless soap critic ever - i wish this morning would get rid of her.
when i used to watch soaps and if I read what she said, I always thought she got her 'exclusives' from Inside Soap, cos a lot of what she said, as if she was revealing something new, was in that weeks IS mag!

One of my favourite 'exclusives' of hers that proves how 'good' she is, was when she mentioned Sean in Corrie was getting a new love interest. Now SHE said, his ex would come back, cos the dog they'd both got when they were together , had died and being Sean, he wanted it to have a funeral, Which is what was shown on screen.

But she ALSO - I've never forgotten this - mentioned this ex of Sean's was coming in, about 2 months, maybe, before he was on screen (probably not long before he started filming) and SHE said he was gonna come in, the romance would be rekindled, and he would be Sean's long term-love interest. The word 'long term' was definitely used.

Know how long this ex was in for? 2 episodes. lol
I remember some of us where saying, what happened to him being in for months?

And she did the same thing when talking about another 'long term love interest for Sean coming into Corrie' which was the vet who treated Chesney's dog. Sean went with him and Fizz to the vet and meets this bloke and falls for him, and he's gonna be his long term boyfriend, says Sharon Marshall. Again, this was said about 2 months before he appeared on screen.

How long was the vet in the show for? 9 episodes.
She has a very strange definition of 'long term'

This is a very lucky woman, getting paid for knowing nothing, and just being able to read soap mags!

yes - she's useless - all her exclusives come from ITV and BBC press releases - she knows nothing! She barely knows the actors real names when she's talking to Phil and Holly!

nah its so much more than that, i seen plenty of studys that show about 1-10 (bout the same that are left handed) are gay/bi, if it was one in 50-60 most gay bars would have had to have closed down.
