Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw may be hard at work as Pat Phelan's partner-in-crime at the moment, but it's clear that he's hiding a secret heartache tonight (September 28).
Despite trying to put on a brave face since Billy Mayhew dumped him, Todd (Bruno Langley) lets his true feelings show when they bump into each other out on the Street.
When Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) snubs him, Todd begs his ex to keep things civil even if they can't be an item - but Billy leaves him crushed by making it very clear that he still can't forgive him for reporting him to the Bishop.
With the whole thing playing out in public, the exchange is watched from afar by Todd's mum Eileen, who feels terrible for her son.

Unable to resist speaking her mind (no change there), Eileen later approaches Billy and urges him to forgive Todd for his betrayal.
Sadly, Eileen soon realises that won't be happening anytime soon - and she then gets even more than she bargained for when Billy also warns her that Phelan's dealings with Todd are bound to be dodgy.
Could this be the moment that Eileen finally starts to smell a rat when it comes to Phelan? Sue Cleaver, who plays her, commented: "Well Eileen just thinks it's because Billy has been going out with Todd and has been taken in by Todd's stories, so she doesn't take any notice of him either."
That'll be a no, then.
