Coronation Street: Is Todd playing Phelan?
Is Todd really serious about working for Phelan and getting his share of the scam or is he playing Phelan and Vinny and is plotting to bring them both down?

I'd say Todd is just being his usual nasty little self. Having been caught out in yet another of his nasty little tricks (re Billy's Bishop, ooh err) he starts acting the victim and goes looking for a quick buck which will also hurt his mother.

Todd wasn't trying to trick Billy though he thought we was helping Billy, I know it was wrong but his heart was in the right place. I think Todd is playing Phelan and will eventually turn the tables on him and Vinny.
Todd was trying to help Todd as usual.You may well be right about his motives now re Phelan, then again you may be wrong - tbh, I doubt the storyliners have thought that far ahead yet, which is why I can't be bothered speculating on soap sls any more since they stopped having anything at all to do with previous characterisations and behaviours.

What we don't know
is whether or not Todd was recording the conversation. Given Vinny was prepared to kill him, I'm surprised he didn't search him.

![]() ![]() ![]() And as for Eileen, well she insists that the sun shines out of Phelan's backside. If you can't beat them, join them. It's all her own doing as Todd has warned the old fool for months on end about Phelan. |

I'm really undecided on this. I truly hope that Todd is planning on bringing them down and has decided this is the best way to do it - from within. It's hard to read though. I much prefer the nice Todd we've seen over the last few months personally.

Phelan is repulsive and needs his comeuppance and I would like Todd to deliver it. He is the perfect candidate because he's as ruthless as Phelan. |

Of course Todd is planning to bring Phelan and Vinny down, and, therefore, to stop his mother losing Jason's money.

I'm not certain what Todd's motives are regarding Phelan. He did decide to join forces when Billy ended their relationship and it came across as if he genuinely had given up trying to be good and was just going to absorb himself in his bad side BUT this is a soap and there probably is going to be more to this than meets the eye. One thing to note is he specifically said that his mum and Jason were not to be hurt by it so for those saying that he is all bad

I think no, he is not playing him right now, he intends to be in on the scam but I think he will change his mind and try and get Vinny and Phelan from the inside

I hope/think he is planning to scam Phelan and the other bloke. Look how he reacted when he had to try the sales pitch on Kathy's nephew. Also I've read that Sarah is about to come into some money and wants to buy one of the flats. No way will Todd let Sarah get ripped off.

Yes you're right and even Billy recognised this. It is possible to be both selfish and helpful. No one is completely bad or completely good.

LOL I know Todd wasn't really helping BIlly but he honestly believed he did the right thing because it was freeing Billy from the strict rules of the church. Todd has good intentions in his heart, they are just misguided a bit.

Those strict rules laid down by the Bishop are why it's hard to attract people into the vocation. Take Billy's restrictions. No more than 25 pints a day. Maximum five strangers a week in the vicarage bed. Be available once a year for the Christmas day rush. Bacon and hair on a bun every day at Roy's. Having to wear shirts so bright welders goggles must be worn. Forced to seek misery and drama daily and if there is none he must supply it. To add to his hectic schedule he has to inform everyone of the latest scandal amongst his large flock. Too much to ask of any human being. I'm surprised he didn't rip that collar off years ago. Maybe he did but he couldn't bear to let his shirts go with it. It's not all sunshine.

![]() Brilliant pot James, love it!! ![]() As for Todd I couldn't possibly say what his motives are Mark, which is what is making him such an intriguing character now!! I'm not sure what changed between the horrendous character that moved back up from London, wrecked Marcus' life & seemed hellbent on destroying his family but that was not the real Todd for me, this one is!! A complex character, still screwed up from his 'coming out' while still in a relationship, still messed up from losing his son, but more confident now & scared of no one!! I would have to go for a third option on your poll 'don't know if he even knows himself yet!' |

I really hope that it's Phelan and Vinny playing Todd, and they leave him dead in a ditch somewhere as it's no more than he deserves.

I disagree with you there, him breaking up Marcus and Maria, was very similar to him calling the Bishop on Billy. He though he was doing Marcus a favor by making him realize he wants to be with a man and that Maria would never satisfy him sexually.
