Todd Grimshaw gets a new love interest for Christmas in Coronation Street
AFTER standing on the side-lines for several months, Todd Grimshaw is thrown back into the spotlight.
The Coronation Street undertaker portrayed by Gareth Pierce meets a new resident in Weatherfield and he’s instantly smitten.
ITV viewers have been busy catching up with Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease earlier this year.
Since then, fans of the Manchester-based program have been captivated by his journey with the disease, particularly as he was told he only had a handful of months left to live.
Meanwhile, Todd Grimshaw has been leaving Paul and Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) to their romance despite coming between them years ago.
Luckily for him, love could be knocking on his door soon.
It all begins with him and Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) barging into Paul’s home out of fear he may have had a fall and the pair get more than they bargained for.
Later on, Paul is disappointed when his usual PA Jim is replaced by a man named Moses.
He soon realises Moses is a godsend as he finds a way to relieve his back pain.
Meanwhile, in the precinct ginnel, Todd has a deep conversation with Ed Bailey (Trevor Michael Georges) who is struggling with his gambling addiction.
But after giving him advice he perhaps needed to hear, Todd heads off and returns to the cobbles.
Meanwhile, Moses and Paul return from a shopping trip and Todd clocks the new PA as he struggles to get the key in the door.
Clearly smitten, Todd dashes over to help but does he really have a chance with Moses?
Todd’s love life has often been the cause of havoc in the cobbles, particularly before he fell out of the closet.
During his early years in Weatherfield, he was involved with soap stalwart Sarah Platt but their relationship turned sour when he was unfaithful.
The undertaker wreaked havoc between the Platts and Grimshaws, making his mother Eileen’s rivalry with Gail Platt worse, when he slept with a nurse named Karl.

More recently, and as mentioned above, Todd tried to sabotage Billy’s relationship with Paul and even succeeded.
However, as time went by and Paul’s health began to decline, Billy decided it was time for him to tie the knot with the builder, whom he finally recognised as the love of his life.
Will Todd ever find the right fit himself?
