Corrie confirms violence story as character's secret past comes to light
Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) has been going through it in recent weeks, following the collapse of his family after the truth about his sexuality was revealed.
The scaffolder had spent years trying to ignore his true feelings and focus on his life with wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson) and their kids.
However, he found himself unable to deny the fact that he was gay any longer after meeting Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce), and quickly falling for him.
Unfortunately, they have faced a rocky road so far, with the arrival of Noah, the man who had subjected Theo to conversion therapy, making things ten times worse.
As if his vile teachings weren't enough, Noah began dating Danielle – something that Todd announced in the middle of a family dinner.
This caused a commotion, with a fight breaking out between Todd and Theo's son Miles, before Theo stepped in and accidentally punched Miles in the face.
Because of this, Danielle made the decision not to let Theo see his kids anymore, leaving him devastated.
In tonight's episode, Theo was supposed to meet with a social worker to discuss his involvement in Miles and Millie's lives, but things didn't go to plan there either.
When the social worker arrived earlier than expected, Theo was keen to rush home from the precinct, only to find a drunk Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) leaning against the van.
As Theo grew more frustrated, Aadi tripped and fell, banging his head in the process.
However, Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) assumed that Theo had attacked him, and refused to let him leave until he'd revealed exactly what had happened.
Frustrated, Theo stormed off, but before he could get back home he was stopped by police, who were keen to question him about what had happened at the precinct.
Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) watched Theo get in the police car with concern, before pounding on Todd's door, unaware that he was inside making excuses to the social worker.
As Billy burst in and blurted out that Theo had been taken away by police, the social worker explained that he would have to rearrange the appointment and check that the crime wasn't violent like before.
This left Todd and Billy confused and concerned, and they were quick to try and find out what he meant.
Taking to the Internet, it wasn't long before they pulled up an article about a previous arrest.
The piece explained that Theo had been arrested after a violent altercation involving a man and Danielle at a restaurant, but before they could dig into any further details, Theo arrived home.
He explained about the misunderstanding at the precinct, before Billy and Todd came clean about what they had found.
Determined to set the record straight, Theo explained how the man had confronted Danielle about pushing in front of him in a queue, and Theo had lost his temper and thrown a glass.
As Theo assured Todd that the charges had been dropped, he appeared relieved.
Later, at the Rovers, Theo was thrilled to learn that Gary Windass (Mikey North) had corroborated his version of events at the precinct with the police and he was off the hook.
To celebrate, he offered to get a round of drinks in, just as Billy showed up. More Trending
Theo was quick to apologise for not being open about his past, before joking that Billy should be glad he hadn't uncovered the other skeletons he had hidden in his closet.
Despite claiming that things were good between them and inviting Billy to join them for drinks, it became clear that Theo wasn't happy about Billy's interference in his relationship with Todd.

"We are so sad to have to say goodbye to Frank, but we are also so blessed to have known him, to have worked with him and seen him perform. "We send our sincere condolences to his wife Ginnette, his daughter Tilly, his son Andrew, his 7 grandchildren and to all his extended family.

Emmerdale's Marlon is left reeling as he makes big discovery about April
A dismayed Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) realises he'll be playing second fiddle to Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) on April Windsor's (Amelia Flanagan) sweet 16th in Emmerdale, although he's left reeling upon discovering April's actual birthday plans… Dylan returned only a few weeks ago and April was elated to be reunited with the person who supported her throughout her homelessness and pregnancy, especially after the dramatic circumstances he initially departed in. April's elation upon being reunited with Dylan was short-lived, however, when she realised that Dylan's leg wound, a result of the attack on Moira Dingle's (Natalie J Robb) farm, was infected. After attempting surgery to close the wound themselves, they were discovered by Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), who took matters into his own hands by fixing up the wound and offering Dylan a place to stay. While things seemed to be on the up for the teen, dangerous Ray remained lurking in the background. As things settle between the lovebirds, despite Dylan stashing a large amount of drugs at Paddy and Mandy Dingle-Kirk's (Lisa Riley), April decides she wants to sleep with Dylan for the first time on her 16th birthday, though they panic when Mandy discovers them shortly after consummating their relationship. Motor mouth Mandy angrily tells Marlon, who, although deeply rattled, is soothed by wife Rhona (Zoë Henry), who explains that, at 16, April is free tomake her own decisions. When Mandy despairs at seeing Marlon and April acting 'normally', April is left cringing when Mandy admits that she told Marlon about her sleeping with Dylan. When April later learns that Dylan is still involved with drug dealer Ray, she's horrified, which is only compounded when Dylan reveals that Ray actually wants her to do a drug drop. She agrees, on the condition that Dylan stop his involvement with Ray's dealing. More Trending As April returns home, she's met by her Dad, who explains that he's accepted her new relationship, completely oblivious to the danger she's now in. As Marlon wraps April in a hug, her eyes fall to the rucksack full of drugs she's brought home.
