When Todd returned in 2013, we were told that life in London had changed him - but we weren't really given much more information. Blackburn hinted that we would get answers at a later stage, but (at least from what I can remember) we still haven't been given any answers.

Since the scar, his actions were down to revenge on his family for this reason - but the truth was he acted like a (insert insult here) since returning way before then.

Will we get answers before Blackburn leaves? And, what do you guys think Kate Oates will do with the character of Todd?

I keep asking the same question I really want us to find out what happened to make him so horrible. Bruno evaded the question regarding that in a DS interview last year.

I wouldn't think too hard about it as Stuart Blackburn and his cronies don't know either.

I'm hoping Kate tackles this storyline, there's huge potential with Bruno.

I dunno if Todd has a big storyline approaching but the actor has definitely been hitting the gym, he is looking well fit at the moment!

Glad I wasn't the only one to notice

Apparently we were supposed to find out this year sometime according to Blackburn, but if not I hope Kate does something. I like Todd & hate how he's now just ever seen in Barlows Buys, the Grimshaws or the Rovers, I'd like for us to find out what happened to him which justifies his actions towards his family & why he acted as such a noob, then for him to settle down with a long term boyfriend.

I agree, Bruno is brilliant.

Todd has said himself that he hates himself so we need to find out what happened.

All I can say is that I left a small Yorkshire farming village 5 years ago and moved to London as a rather green and rather naive young man and returned a somewhat disillusioned, selfish and rather bitter person due to my experiences there. Some of the things a young gay man goes through in that city would leave some people gobsmacked! I can only imagine what poor Todd might have been through!

Sorry to hear that. What do you think Corrie could/should write with Todd's experience?

It's probably because he doesn't even know himself.

Maybe look at how the gay scene in London can be a shallow and very oppressive place to be. You need to be good looking and conform to a masculine, beach ready stereotype, have a good job and be from a certain background, be a high earner and be able to hit clubs and bars hard. Drugs are rife and getting into a clique of friends can be almost impossible, leaving you feeling lonely and trapped. Your northern roots are cute for a few months then discarded and deems colloquial and backward.

Like so many guys I did EVERYTHING I could to fit in and it really was a mistake. Sometimes being yourself just isn't enough and it can be soul destroying.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. They definitely need to write something for Todd as it's been almost two years since he returned.

Hes one of the best actors and characters in the soap so hopefully we'll see more of him soon.

Todd just needs to find the right man to give him a sense of self worth, I agree that his character has so much potential.

Yeah!!! Todd is the hottest guy on Corrie hands down and he deserves some loving, how is it that Sean has a nice looking BF and Todd is single?

Tbh, I find it rather sad that anyone in this day and age thinks a sense of self-worth is only obtainable by finding the right man (or woman).

Todd had plenty of support on the Street from family and friends - he alienated them all by his own stupidity and nastiness and he should think himself damn lucky his family have taken him back into the fold in spite of all the horrible things he has done to them.

Could it be that Sean is teacher's pet? It seems that every time there is a new producer I hope they will get rid of Sean, but there he is like a limpet hanging on. Must admit though he has been 100 times worse under The Hat than he was under any other EP.

LOL, IDK Sean is barely in it these days and even the story with Billy lasted a hand full of episodes. I don't think Sean is teachers pet, I could see Carla, Tracy, the Platts, maybe Sally and Tim who have all taken prominent roles under Blackburn as teacher's pet but not Sean.

Also don't get your hopes up that Kate Oates will get rid of him either, I only see her getting rid of newer characters that didn't work like the Nazirs.

I believe Sean is Jonathan harvey's little pet. He created him after all.
