Coronation Street fans can expect an almighty blow-up in the Bistro next week when Sarah Platt tries to glean intel on Theo Silverton from his ex-wife Danielle – only for Todd’s abusive husband to catch her in the act.

As Todd’s loved ones desperately look for ways to save him from Theo, attention turns to his life before he arrived in Weatherfield.

It’s Gary Windass who suggests that Danielle, as the woman married to Theo for many years, may have experienced abuse at his hands. So, Sarah arranges to meet her to talk, but things go horribly wrong when Theo and Todd walk in and find them together…

“No-one can blame Sarah for being desperate to help, but this is a terrible miscalculation – Theo is sure to go ballistic,” explains our Corrie insider.

“After initially being discreet over her suspicions, she’s managed to blow her cover and inadvertently make Todd’s abuser even more furious and dangerous.”
