SUDDEN EXIT Coronation Street reveals shock death as character is killed off just four months after Weatherfield arrival
Coronation Street has revealed the shock death as a character is killed off just four months after Weatherfield arrival.
ITV viewers have seen the romance unfold between Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) and Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).
Despite a rocky start, things seemed to be looking up for the pair on Coronation Street.
However, they seemed to hit somewhat of a bump in the road when Noah Hedley (Richard Winsor) appeared on the street in May of this year.
His homophobic ‘ex-gay’ character was seen to be practising conversion therapy, much to the protestations of Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) and Todd.
It turns out, he used to perform conversion therapy on Theo whilst he was married to Danielle (Natalie Anderson).
But in a shock twist, his last scenes will air tonight as his character is dramatically killed off.
On tonight’s edition of the long-running ITV soap, he was seen supporting Danielle in court as she fought Theo for custody of her kids.
Todd and Theo celebrated the victory in the bistro after he was given a shared order, meaning he would obtain access to his children.
However, Noah soon interrupts their date as he informs the duo that Danielle intends to appeal the judgement.
Spitting with anger, he exclaimed: “I’m not vindictive, I’m just concerned that people like you are allowed to live near kids.
“Twisting their little minds so they end up like you… disgusting perverts like you are allowed to do what they want.”
After Todd rose up in anger, Theo tried to diffuse the situation as he told his former friend: “You’re nothing to me, Noah.”
He added: “I know who I am and what I want. Okay? So you can’t get to me now,” before proceeding to give a shooing gesture.
The duo were still in the Bistro a while later with Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown).
This is when Danielle then stormed into the restaurant as she announced that Noah had died.
She blamed both Todd and Theo for getting him ‘worked up’ after he was found in his front room after suffering a heart attack.
However, Dee-Dee later stated that they could not have caused it and he probably had an unknown health condition.
Later in the flat, Theo was left in tears as he told Todd that he would miss Noah in a strange way, before making Todd swear to stay together.
A twisted villain
This comes after The Sun first revealed that Richard Winsor was due to leave the serial drama.
At the time of first reporting, a show source explained: “Richard’s done a great job as Noah.
“He was brought in as a guest star for a specific storyline and he’s knocked it out of the park playing such a twisted villain.
“But the character will leave next week and it’s set to be explosive and spark fireworks on the cobbles.”
