More info Coronation Street enthusiasts have recently discovered that actor James Cartwright, who portrays the character Theo Silverton on the soap, previously starred in Tracy Beaker. Theo made his debut on the cobbles earlier this year, embarking on an affair with Todd Grimshaw. However, Todd was taken aback when he found out that Theo was married to Danielle and had two children. In a classic soap opera twist, recent episodes saw Danielle walk in on Theo and Todd sharing a kiss, revealing their secret relationship. Following their exposure, a tipsy Theo ended things with Todd and appeared to reconcile with Danielle. In upcoming episodes, Todd receives news of Theo's disappearance before the scaffolder gets in a fight with Mick. Later, Todd is alerted by the hearse's car alarm and discovers it covered in paint, reports Belfast Live. (Image: ITV) He is shocked to find out that the culprit is Theo's daughter, Millie.
