Theo’s Troubled Past Resurfaces

The walls are closing in around Billy Mayhew as his involvement with Theo Silverton takes a dangerous turn. For weeks, tensions between Billy, Todd Grimshaw, and Theo have been simmering. When Theo revealed he had endured the trauma of conversion therapy, Todd’s violent reaction to Noah Hedley — the man tied to Theo’s pain — left Billy stuck in the middle.

Despite his role as peacemaker, Billy’s worries grew. Theo’s temper began to flare, and his insecurities quickly turned into jealous rages. At Gemma’s memorial gathering for her late brother Paul, Theo bristled at the idea of Todd arriving with Billy. He pulled the strings to keep Todd at home, but his resentment only deepened when Billy reached out to Theo’s son, Miles.

Theo Demands Loyalty — at a Cost

The breaking point came when Theo gave Todd an impossible ultimatum: their relationship or his friendship with Billy. Reluctantly, Todd chose Theo and distanced himself from Billy. The decision left Theo feeling triumphant. But his smugness crumbled when he saw his ex-wife Danielle arrive for mediation with none other than Noah.

Consumed with jealousy, Theo drowned his anger in brandy. Later that evening, he discovered Todd had betrayed his demand and secretly met Billy at the Rover’s. The betrayal sent Theo spiraling further, and he turned his fury toward the man he saw as a threat to his fragile relationship.

Billy Refuses to Back Down

Despite Theo’s warning signs, Billy would not walk away. His instinct to help overrode any fear, but his unwavering kindness may prove to be his downfall. When he crossed paths with Theo again, he stood firm — and that only fueled Theo’s rage. What began as jealousy has now spiraled into obsession, leaving Billy directly in Theo’s crosshairs.
