It would be great to see a character actually leave instead of it inevitably ending in a tragedy of some sort. Again, it is depicting real life for some, but they could show someone not putting up with this tit

I think Theo was hinting at harming himself (from memory) when Todd said he wasn’t happy, then he provoked that fight where everyone ended up blaming Todd for hurting him.
Just reading this had me shouting profanities at my phone.Alright Cocker
George gave the big house to Glenda when they had the dispute over Archie's will. She apparently rents it out. I'm not sure if she's still living in the pub with the Driscolls. Eileen still owns the house in Coronation Street and George and Mary live there and Christine recently moved in too.Yeah I think George still has that big house of his own but pretty much lives in Eileen's house. Does Mary still live there as well? Well I'm sure they'd still find room for Todd anyway
I'm sure they'd make room there or at Billy's if Todd needed it but that's not really what the storyline is about.
As someone who has been where Todd is, there are a million reasons you might stay. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes it’s because you have nowhere else to go but often it’s a lot more complex than just being one reason. If it was that easy, we would all leave as soon as we noticed the issue.
I think the fact Theo had no redeeming features from the get go and him and Todd weren't even together than long before the abuse started is whats making Todd stay seem unrealistic
I caught a bit of it the other night and that cold dread you feel when someone drops you in it over someone you used to fancy when you were single, a pop star you liked or even if you’re seen chatting to a member of the opposite sex… I remember it only too well.
My ex was not exactly a catch but I was vulnerable and he briefly seemed like a good idea. We were only together 6 weeks before I was scared of him.
Danielle is also really mad with Theo and the split, but never mentioned abuse or a temper
His other boyfriends, even though he told Todd he'd never had a boyfriend before, have mentioned abuse. He saves it for the men because he hates himself for being gay. Makes a nice change, I suppose; a man taking out his internal hatred for himself on other men rather than women.
Isn't that the equivalent of saying "he didnt hit me so he didnt hit you"?
It might just because of the dynamics of the relationship and/or because now theo has to come to some accepting of his sexuality.
It’s hardly a “nice” change. He shouldn’t be taking his hatred out on anyone: male or female
Eileen would’ve sorted him out
Will is defo going to be a wee psycho
Surprised, during the Tracy & Abi chat, that there was no mention of Carl’s affair being with a man and neither Abi or Tracy knowing that Carl was also into men. Tracy called James a “sneaky little scamp” but there was no ‘but he’s a man?’

Agree, this was an odd take,
So Carla is in the exact same position she was in for most of yesterday’s episode. Tied up in the cupboard
What a waste of a cliffhanger her releasing herself and pushing Becky onto the table was

Sorry, don’t think my post was being flippant- I know it’s not that simple, but for the sake of it being a soap, it might be ‘nice’ to show us someone not putting up with it and the perpetrator being outcast in the street- and not being redeemed as a good person if the actors contract has been extended!!
My comment was replying to a post about Danielle having never accused Theo of being abusive. I was pointing out that it's "nice" to see a different portrayal of domestic violence rather than one that makes females the victim by default. Granted "nice" probably wasn't the right word; I didn't mean it in the "pleasing" sense, more like "interesting" to see it played out between two men.
And of course no one should be taking out their own internal hatred on other people (that's what therapy is for), but that's exactly what domestic violence is; the abuser using their victim as a physical and/or psychological punching bag for all their pent up emotions. A domestic abuse storyline without a victim would be pointless.
Precisely this, if a friend of mine found out her partner had done the dirty on her and with a man then it would take us ages to get past the fact that he cheated WITH A MAN
