Do you think Corrie could do a special episode set in London depicting Todd's time there?

Maybe we find out he was in an abusive relationship.

We're still waiting to find out why Tracy turned into a super-bitch offscreen so good luck getting an explanation for Todd.

Maybe being married to Robert changed her. She was normal before she met him!

The difference with Todd and Tracy though is that we've seen small glimpses of how Todd doesn't like how he is. I remember a scene in the pub where he said something mean and then he then made a face where you could tell he didn't mean it. There's all the stuff with Jason too after his attack.

We definitely need to find out more about his time in London. When Bruno was asked by DS, over a year ago, if we were going to find out, he said (politely) that he didn't want to answer that. Going by her work on Emmerdale, Kate Oakes is definitely the right producer to provide us with a proper explanation of why Todd is the way he is now.

Maybe he was a rent boy working alongside Paul Coker?

Whilst shaving, he cut his chin leaving a tiny scar.

No thanks I would rather Todd disappeared from Corrie permanently than see more of him.

I doubt a flashback episode but a follow up would be nice. Blackburn did tell us we would get an explanation but that was nearly a year ago

Maybe Kate Oates will dig deep in to it.

I think if this was to be done it should have been done fairly soon after his return to the cobbles, not now so many years later.

This thread put me in the mind of the last "special episode" set in London which featured Sean visiting the city on the top of a double decker bus and meeting his son, while Todd was visiting Weatherfield with his then-boyfriend and feeling ashamed of his humble roots (incidentally he didn't show any signs of emotional damage at the time).

If that episode is anything to go by, probably not a good idea to revisit the experience - especially with the current set of writers, who would probably give it the title, "THAT London"...

Whatever happened to him in London it turned him from kind and sensitive to spiteful and bitchy. And from smart and ambitious, to smart but happy to live with his mum while earning minimum wage in a backstreet florists at pushing 30.

Actually according to Corriepedia he just turned 31.

Tracey was a little cow before she left Weatherfield. I remember an episode in the mid 90's where she tried to tap Ken for some money, I think to buy drugs, and when he only offered her £50 she basically told him to **** off!

There is obviously a typo in this sentence from that link but I can't make out what it's trying to say:

“We’ll see him get quite close to Billy and I think someone who is good good out with someone who’s got that potential for darkness, it’s interesting."

Looking forward to it. Bruno Langley is a good actor and Todd is interesting to watch.

Excellent news, I have wanted them to explore what happened to Todd in London pretty much since he returned with a personality transplant.

Everything in that article pleased me, I hope there's some great development and storylines for Todd coming up.

I am sure in the early days Todd had a long relationship with a bisexual. It was only revealed that he slept with women after a long while..
