Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw future hinted after clash with Sarah Platt

Actor Gareth Pierce told Digital Spy that Todd Grimshaw will move beyond his recent fallout with Sarah Platt, who was implicated in Theo Silverton’s murder. Pierce said the pair’s strong bond could keep them on the show for a long time, and that Todd’s upcoming storyline will focus on "regeneration" and a return of humour over the next six months to a year.

The interview was conducted during a photoshoot celebrating Coronation Street’s nominations for the Inside Soap Awards 2026, where the cast appeared in a new bumper issue of Inside Soap. Pierce also reflected on the show’s recent storylines, including Debbie’s dementia, the Todd‑Theo plot and Shona‑David arcs, noting a shift toward slower‑burn storytelling.

Overall, the discussion signals a new direction for Todd’s character as the soap prepares for the awards season.
