ITV Coronation Street fans ask if they've 'missed something' as Todd suddenly returns amid friendly scenes

Gareth Pierce made a seamless return to screens in Coronation Street on Wednesday night as Todd Grimshaw reappeared in Weatherfield.

The actor, who took over the role of Todd in Corrie in 2020, returned to filming back in February, confirming the news by posting a snap from his dressing room at the Salford-based soap set. It coincidently came at this same time his former on-screen partner Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy Mayhew, also returned to filming after months away.

The pair delighted fans when they paused filming for a lovely set selfie alongside Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer Spellman and the trio were finally back on-screen together during Wednesday night's (March 30) trip to the cobbles.

Todd was last seen on screen very briefly around Christmas time, months after Todd's betrayal was revealed to a horrified Billy, who he was due to marry, and Summer.

The character, who works with George Shuttleworth at his undertakers, was at first seen paying Summer and Billy a visit at their flat as the teenager hits the books ready for her upcoming mock exams. Later, Todd bumped into Summer and appeared to express concern after he heard Asha Alahan telling her not to burn herself out.

A stressed Summer is currently struggling to manage her diabetes as well as revise for her exams which her university place depends upon. At the end of this week Corrie fans will see Summer finally take a break but as she starts drinking wine, there's concern for her insulin levels.

But back to the latest episode and fans were baffled by Todd's sudden return - and his friendship with Billy.

@davison_anna tweeted: "#Corrie Have I missed something? I thought Billy threw Todd out months ago and Todd was living with George?"

"When did Todd and Billy get back together? I thought they broke up? #corrie #coronationstreet," @kateypeskett asked.

@Anniemole quizzed: "How come Todd has turned up out of nowhere? Has he been completely forgiven by Billy? Where does he live? So many questions?"

"When did Billy and Todd make up? Really poor continuity by Corrie script writers..." @Murphy94228055 complained.

@Denlives1 said: "Soooooooo, we’re just meant to accept that both Summer and Billy have forgiven that prick Todd then are we … erm ok. Sorry #Corrie but this is why me and you fall out."

"When did billy n summer forgive todd that hes round at there house i musta missed something #Corrie #coronationstreet," @Dave74362900 added.
