Corrie: Todd - a male Tracy
If I thought that Todd had any real feelings for Marcus I could understand this storyline but he's clearly only doing it for the sake of being a bitch. Not that Marcus is innocent in all of this but he's not being deliberately malicious or scheming for no apparant reason like Todd is.
I don't understand why Corrie can't write characters like Todd and Tracy with a bit more depth. They could have excellent characters (like Janine on EastEnders) if they just wrote a bit of backstory or motivation for why these characters behave the way they do, and let them show a vulnerable side now and again. The way they are writing Todd in this storyline concerns me because I can't really see a way of redeeming his character, all I can see is them turning him into another Tracy. |

Agreed, people always have a motivation in real life, the smug, nasty attitude for the sake of it has a very limited shelf life if you don't know why people are being the way they are.
The problem I have with these characters is also the fact that no one bar one or two people ever challenge them on it! Tracy has been appalling to practically everyone in Corrie, yet you then see her drinking with people in the pub as if nothing happens. It's very frustrating to watch. |

His character has just filled the Ryan shaped hole that was left when that idiot moved away.

I think he should have some backstory that comes with the personality change. We know that he changed due to his job/lifestyle but maybe there's more to it?
For Todd to kind of be redeemed a little bit, the show should get us to remember the nice Todd from years back. It would be good to find out that maybe he was hurt in the past which has lead him to be the nasty person he is now, hurting people for the sake of it. |

No, not a male Tracey in my opinion; he has not murdered anyone.

He did not cold-bloodedly carry out a premeditated murder.

Yes, they really have made him into a totally nasty piece. And that smug expression he has on his face is just so stomach churning. Who is going to beat him up, cos he is certainly heading in the right direction for one. |

Tbh I don't really care why he's turned into some sort of Machiavellian character. I'm just glad he has and is no longer the little wuss he used to be.
I'm finding him highly entertaining to watch and that's all I care about really.

Absolutely loathe him. This is the first stint of Todd I've seen and he is awful. I bet his acting has become bad

Langley is a much better actor than Kate Ford. So the comparison can be taken only so far.
![]() This Todd is being played for laughs. Evil Todd is a joke, and anyway it will eventually all end in tears with a two-parter between him and his Mum about why he has been behaving so shabbily. He is behaving like this because he has been hurt. I expect that once he has got this out of his system this new character trait will be played down, but I have loved Evil Todd because he is so funny.

Todd actually makes Tracy look like a saint.
Todd is a REAL vile character, the sooner we see the back of him the better. |
