I wonder how the Bishop will find out about Todd & Billy, I'm guessing either Phelan or Sean will tell him. There's always the possibility of him catching them in the act, lol.
I also wonder why Billy is so angry with Sean, is it because he told the bishop about them, or is it because he canceled their hotel room? Hmm..
Either way I'm pretty sure that the Bishop will tell Billy that Todd is not allowed to stay at the vicarage, it's against the "rules", so he has to move out. It could also be more serious than that, like him saying he has to choose between the relationship and the church, because gay vicars are ok as long as their celibate, or something daft like that.
As for Phelan offering Todd something, I think it's Todd who put up a trap, to get Phelan to admit his scam. We know Todd will have him arrested, that's why I think this is all Todd's doing.
I hope Todd and Billy are still together at this point. I'll be disappointed if they're not and I definitely hope Billy gives Sean a heck of a telling off if he's in the firing line.

And no one involved appears to consider such a promise suspicious... :wall:
Sean could be blamed for anything at this point - we don't know... the bishop, the cancellation of the hotel room. It's anybody's guess. Don't worry livden, Todd's changed eg he turned down Billy because he didn't want to hurt his friend Sean. That's a huge leap from the Marcus days so I didn't take Olivia's comment to heart.
I'd like to know what or why Phelan gets arrested for though.

Be good to see Roy another one suspicious of Pat Phelan, after all Anna works for him
I hope Todd and Billy don't spilt up or that Corrie end up messing up their relationship with bad stories. No doubt Phelan will escape being arrested in later weeks and probably plan revenge against Todd for being the one to get him arrested, hope Phelan doesn't hurt Billy to get at Todd :(
above, it was written that sean should be told off by billy. so i simply pointed out that todd has tried to ruin relationships before. . thats what. like i said, not hating on todd, just saying facts. calm down
But in this case Sean probably deserves being told off by Billy for trying to ruin their night together. Don't you agree?

It's ridiculous how this forum has a bard on for Sean. Sean is a disgusting, selfish, over the top guy who can never put himself in other's shoes. Yet you guys hate Todd a lot. Yeah, he has done some terrible things, true, but he is trying to change. I'm sick of him ALWAYS getting the short end of stick no matter what he does. He can never be good enough, and although I get it, it's hard for people to trust him after what he did, there's still some good in him. I wish people could see he is actually trying to change and be a better person. On the other hand Sean according to some people on this forum can do NOTHING wrong. It's always "poor Sean". Maybe Sean is partly to blame for Billy breaking up with him? Maybe Billy got sick of dating an over the top, gossip loving, attention seeking, selfish man? Maybe Billy just fell out of love with Sean and started having feelings for Todd? Lets face it, Sean and Billy's relationship was hardly perfect. Sean was nagging him all the time, about the Church. Also, have the Sean fans in here ever asked themselves WHY Billy didn't feel comfortable trusting Sean with the information about Lee? Why did he tell Todd first? Maybe because he knew Todd would listen to him, support him, without being judgmental like Sean often is?

Well, we know Sean canceled their hotel room, that isn't hearsay, it's a fact as it is stated in the spoilers. The rest is anyone's guess as we won't know until the detailed spoilers are out. Either it's Sean's doing or Phelan's. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. There is also one last scenario, they get caught red handed, making out, having sex.. something by the bishop himself or someone else who tells the bishop.
As for Phelan being arrested, I think it has something to do with what he offers Todd. My guess is it's a trap set up by Todd to get the proof he needs and take to the Police. I don't know when he gets arrested, but if it is on Friday then I think that would make sense.

i never said i hate todd. i never said i dont think he and billy should be together. just because i want sean to find happiness doesnt mean that im hating on todd. an example of when i enjoy todd is how great he is with sarah. this all started when i pointed out that yes sean does appear to try and do something he shouldnt, but todd has ruined realtionships before. Thats it. so what. thats not hating on todd and that doesnt imply i "have a bard for Sean". i feel sorry for him. thats how i feel. thats my opinion. thats all. ibwrote something longer but i accidebtally hit the cancel button in this dumbass phone im writing on and cbf writing it all again. id say this is just a summary of it. also the spelling mistakes are also because of this dumbass phone.
I've only seen comments from one forum member who flat out loves Sean. The rest of us have no particularly strong feelings for him either way. I've even said I wouldn't be surprised if he took some kind of revenge on Billy and Todd though I think he's a decent person overall. To say that the forum has a "hard on" for Sean because we don't all find him "disgusting" and "selfish" is just a slight exaggeration...
What I have stated on numerous occasions that Todd is one of my favourite characters and that I really like the Todd/Billy pairing. That doesn't mean I'll never criticise Todd though because he's a multi layered character capable of good and bad. So again, the "you guys hate Todd a lot" comment is patently untrue.
I don't particularly like Sean either he is very up himself and annoying but I did feel bad for him when he liked Todd a while back and Todd played him just for his own amusement. But I hate that he is trying to ruin Billy and Todd, I love them together and technically they didn't physical cheat on Sean, emotionally maybe but they did nothing until after him and Sean were over.
Sean's a character who gets jealous very easily and throws his toys out of the pram everytime he doesn't get his own way. I can't stand people like that. If I don't get my way I admit I sulk but carry on. That's what Sean should do. It's obvious Billy's in love if not complete lust with Todd.
The Bishop of Grantham has just announced he is in a gay relationship. the Archibishop of Canterbury has said it is fine as long as he in celibate.

Personally, I think it is fine the Archbishop of Canterbury is a Christian as long as he keeps his mouth shut.

PREACH! I couldn't have said it better myself. I highly dislike Sean, as some might have noticed. His behavior makes it really hard to root for him. I understand he is upset, sad, hurt, heartbroken.. but is that a good reason to ruin someone else's happiness? It's so funny that some Sean fans in here are like "Sean would never do that, he's too nice." Yet he has no qualms ruining a happy couple? Todd of all people actually put his own happiness aside to not hurt Sean. He could have jumped Billy right after he admitted he had feelings for him and yes, thereby cheating on Sean with Billy, but he didn't. He took back his love confession because he didn't want to hurt Sean. And THIS is how Sean repays him? By canceling a hotel room? Ugh, I just cannot with him. He would have had more people feeling sorry for him, and actually understanding he was upset, if he didn't play these childish mind games. If he took the high road then I'm sure many people would sympathize with him. Instead he goes ahead and does this?! He is his own worst enemy. It's his own fault that people can't stand him. Whatever. I'm just so over him. I hope he gets a boyfriend soon so he can finally leave Todd and Billy alone. He needs to accept that Todd and Billy love each other. They are endgame, whether Sean likes it or not.

Exactly! Yes, I know Todd was bitter, cynical and not least manipulative back then when he played Sean. He basically fooled him to think Todd was into him. It was mean spirited and Todd should have never done it. That said, he has changed since then, or at least is trying to. Remember he even took back his love confession to Billy because he didn't want to hurt Sean. If that's not character development I don't know what is.
Over on Coronation Street, Maria Connor freaks out when Caz Hammond makes a spontaneous attempt to kiss her.
Maria (Samia Ghadie) is faced with the awkward encounter when she reveals that Aidan has bagged Caz (Rhea Bailey) an interview for a job at a factory, which could be her chance to get back on her feet at last.
Caz is so grateful to Maria for her help that she instinctively kisses her on the lips, but Maria is confused by the gesture and wonders what her new friend's intentions really are.

It seems that Maria could be right to be worried, as when Caz attends the job interview and hears that the position is based in Newcastle, she turns down the offer because she's so fixated on sticking around in Weatherfield.
Back at the salon, Maria confides in Audrey Roberts and Sophie Webster about her unexpected encounter with Caz, causing much hilarity as they tease her about the situation.
Unfortunately, Caz has just walked into the salon after her interview and has heard every word. As a humiliated Caz flees, does Maria have an apology to make? Or is she just playing into Caz's hands?
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, September 12 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

I see the producer and scriptwriters still have absolutely no idea how councils work! A development as big as this proposed one would probably take months to reach approval stage.

But there is no planning approval .... but Eileen thinks so because Vinnie says so after a phone call ???? ... I would have waited to see something official in writing before transferring the money but guess love makes blind and stupid.. Eileen obviously has forgotten about Audrey being ripped off by Lewis in similar circumstances
Billy rails at the injustice of being unable to have a proper love life within the church.
Prescient timing for this storyline given that the Bishop of Grantham has very recently come out as gay and living with his partner in a celibate relationship.
I find the Church of England's position on this issue confusing, but it seems to me to boil down to the fact that - for C of E clergy - sex should only occur within marriage, but that gay marriage isn't accepted so gay couples must be celibate. However, in reality a blind eye is often turned to clergy who defy this ruling.
What puzzles me about this storyline is that Billy's relationship with Todd is fairly new and they're not married, so why would he rail at the injustice of his position? Surely if he was straight and he'd moved his new girlfriend in that would also be unacceptable? It seems to me that for this storyline to be credible, Billy should be living with and married to a long-term partner. :hmm:
Caveat: I'm no churchgoer so I might be in over my head on this debate!

They have really applied for planning permission though because Sally's been involved. Surely she'd know if it had been declined so they couldn't hope to keep it a secret from Eileen?

But surely Eileen would say something about it as soon as she knew and it would be all over the cobbles. Sally would hear about it almost immediately I would have thought.

I think lying to Eileen about planning permission would only work if Phelan and Vinnie were intending to do an immediate runner with the money. Otherwise, as you say, she'd hear the truth from Sally very quickly and no doubt call the police.
I was under the impression (though I could obviously be wrong) that this was a long-term con and that other "investors" and/or buyers for the flats would be sought, so telling porkies about planning permission wouldn't work in that case.

Long term would be more realistic with regards to the council making a decision but if celebrations are under way already, Phelan and Vinnie must not be wanting to hang around for too long unless the council has been agreeing to this undertaking in a most unrealistic time, like parkerman said

My guess on all this is that, as they have shown on everything else, the Corrie team have no idea how the Council works and so in their world planning permission has actually been given.
Incidentally, I don't even know what council this is. Is it some sort of local town or parish council, in which case a decision on a development like this would certainly have to be referred up to Manchester Council. Or is it Manchester Council, in which case, Sally would have very little clout in any decisions made.
it was Gail who was conned by Lewis not Audrey by the way. That is why David now owns the house.
The whole street knows that no planning permission has been given yet. but it will i am sure.
One councillor can have influence on others on a planning committee .

Yes, if it is a town or parish council, the ward councillor would carry some weight. But a development like this would not be dealt with by a town or parish council.
If it is Manchester Council, someone like Sally would carry very little weight.. In fact, as we've said before, Sally wouldn't be there at all if it's supposed to be Manchester Council as she would never have stood an earthly at the election.
Monday (1)
Maria reveals that Aidan has got Caz an interview for a job at a local factory. A grateful Caz instinctively kisses her on the lips, but Maria is confused by the gesture.
At the same time, Kate is pleased when Aidan reveals that he's trying to find Caz a job to get rid of her. However, when Aidan's contact Vanessa interviews Caz and reveals that the job is based in Newcastle, Caz insists that she can't leave Weatherfield and turns down the offer.
As the day continues, Maria admits to Audrey and Sophie that Caz kissed her earlier. They fall about laughing, branding her 'a magnet for the gays'. However, Maria is mortified to find Caz has walked in and heard every word. Caz is humiliated and flees.
Not long afterwards, Maria tells Sophie that Caz has packed her bags and left. Fearing what she might do, Maria enlists reluctant Sophie to help search for her.
Meanwhile, Faye confides to Anna that she's written to Craig's dad in prison on his behalf. Anna is appalled and marches round to see Craig.

Craig tears it open and announces that his dad wants to see him. Beth is devastated by the news.
Elsewhere, Billy assures a sulky Todd that he'd like nothing more than to live together but it's just not possible. Later, as Billy and Todd join Sean's friends in The Rovers for a birthday drink, Billy gets a phone call from his bishop with some disturbing news.
Also today, Robert tasks Steph with overseeing a booking for a party of 20, while Sean is fed up on his 40th birthday.

Friday (1)
Eileen, Phelan and Vinny are pleased when the planning committee confirms that the Calcutta Street development can proceed. Eileen is still blissfully unaware of Phelan's plot to fleece buyers. Eileen gives Todd the good news, but he remains cynical about the whole thing.
When Phelan tells Eileen that he's going home to call the architect to get the ball rolling, Todd gets suspicious and follows him. At Number 11, Phelan phones the architect and explains that his services are no longer required. He's alarmed when Todd walks in, having overheard the call. Todd accuses Phelan of running a scam, selling flats that will never be built. Can Phelan talk his way out of trouble?
Meanwhile, Kirk has spent the night on the sofa and can't believe how much Beth has lied to him. When Johnny ticks off Beth and Kirk for arriving late for work, Beth bursts into tears, leaving Johnny bemused and the factory girls speculating on the cause of Beth and Kirk's row.
Later, a miserable Kirk reveals the truth about Beth to a gobsmacked Maria. There's also another shock in store for Beth when her past catches up with her.

Friday (2)
As Todd heads to The Rovers to inform Eileen of the scam, Phelan makes a panicked call to Vinny. Acting quickly, Vinny tips his pint over Eileen's mobile to render it useless then whisks her to his car, claiming Phelan has got a surprise lined up for her. Todd is alarmed to find that Eileen has disappeared.
Vinny delivers Eileen to a waiting Phelan at the Calcutta Street site. Eileen is impressed by the scale of it and is also excited by the mystery when Phelan announces he's got a further surprise planned, packing her off in Vinny's car again.
Phelan returns to Number 11 alone and Todd demands to know where Eileen is. Assuring Todd she is safe, Phelan offers to cut him in on the deal. But before Todd can react to Phelan's offer, the police arrive to investigate his allegation of fraud and Eileen's disappearance. Todd is tense as an unruffled Phelan is taken away.
Meanwhile, the factory girls discuss Beth's past. Kirk is gutted to realise that his marriage is based on lies, while Craig is adamant that she deserves to pay for all her deceit. Beth seeks comfort from Kirk but he says she's ruined everything. Kirk turns up on Maria's doorstep with his bags and breaks down in tears.
Elsewhere, when Roy reveals he's ordered a new double bed for them, Cathy is troubled to realise he doesn't want her in Hayley's old bed or her old room. Anna tries to cheer her up, but Cathy feels she'll always be second best to Hayley.
Also, Freddie enjoys a night out with Audrey but is shaken when his old friend Angelica rails at him for dating again so soon after Sadie's death.

Ok, now we have a problem!! Look's like Todd's going back to his bad ways again. I haven't brought the magazine but someone has put it up on their website and it looks like Inside Soap. The main headline is 'Cut Me In On Your Dirty Deal!' and the caption bit underneath it says 'When Billy dumps him, Todd goes back to his dark side and starts to work with Phelan, not against him'.

I bet Beth has another kid!
These new spoilers have killed me no I said Corrie better not mess up Todd and Billy AND WHAT DO THEY DO!?! just that... But I hope and pray that Todd just made that phone call to the Bishop as a spare of the moment ill judged decision and it does state he is 'torn' when Billy announces he might actually leave the church Todd feels guilty and bad and sees how much the church means to Billy and regrets his decision to tell the Bishop. I also hope that Todd really doesn't team up with Phelan and Vinny and is just playing them to show everyone their true colours as well as redeem himself in Billys eyes for being so stupid. I really don't think it is the end for them as they have so much potential and already a loyal fan base so Corrie would be stupid to pass on them! But Phelan, Vinny and Todd better watch out as they are all playing a dangerous cat and mouse game and like the TV mag stated there are a lot more dangerous and meaner people involved who want there money from Vinny...
No, Cathy will never be Hailey to Roy. And she should understand it. Surely she loved her husband as well. I think Roy wants to buy a new bed only because he wants to start a new chapter in his life. Also, I wouldn't like to sleep in the same bed /room where someone's wife died...?!
I wish billy and Todd would be history. Todd showed his true colours now..
Worst spoilers in the world. Breaking up the best couple this soap has ever had. GREAT JOB!

Trust me, I'm as pissed as you are with Todd. Most of all I'm annoyed that this storyline is making him into a complete idiot. You can say what you want about Todd but he was never stupid. Calling the bishop to pretend to be one of the parishioners was just plain stupid. How could he think that was a good idea?! I know Todd is all about rash decisions, but come on. He had to have known about the risk of Billy finding out? What the hell did he think would happen? Billy to run into his arms and kiss him? His action makes absolutely no sense, it's sloppy writing, just awful. And to top it all of they want us to be sympathetic to Sean again, by having Billy have a go at him for telling the bishop when it was Todd all along. It's like "hhahahahaha, look at Todd! he is so evil!! and stupid! look at him messing up again! Sean on the other hand is an angelic creature that can do nothing wrong!" I am so done with this. They just managed to ruin the best couple this soap has ever had, but whatevs. I'm over it.
I'm confused. I only know that Billy and Todd split up. Does Billy find out Todd called the Bishop?
Looks like Todd did, so Sean is innocent of that one. How immature of Todd. Anyway I hope that Billy does not become a social worker overnight as he needs to be qualified. Don't want another unrealistic storyline. I believe Todd will pretend to join Phelan and protect Jason's interests as Eileen certainly is not
Ikr although I do believe personally they will be fine again soon because like someone else stated Dan, who plays Billy, was tweeting about filming 'hot' scenes with Bruno, Todd, in mid/late August and scenes are normally aired 6 weeks after they have been filmed meaning they should air late September early October, still hope yet :)
YES!! If Team Tilly get back together, I will love Kate Oates forevermore. This mess (the Todd calling the Bishop/break-up) is her doing, isn't it?

Nah, I think Billy will continue being a vicar, especially after the split with Todd. He finds purpose in his work. The social worker part was just a back up plan in case the church kept them apart, but since that's not an issue anymore..
YES!! If Team Tilly get back together, I will love Kate Oates forevermore. This mess (the Todd calling the Bishop/break-up) is her doing, isn't it?
Of curse it's her doing. She needed a reason to make Todd "evil" again. She loves her baddies!
Aww Todd telling Billy he loves him was very sweet. I have a feeling they planned this break up for a while and that's why they have all these romantic scenes, because 1) it will come more as a shock when Todd betrays him and 2) they must give the fans what they want before the break up so the fans won't revolt lol
Why would Sean pick up todds phone and take a call. That is out of order even f it was showing the Bhisop was ringing. Plus Todd would not be so stupid as saving it as bishop.

Todd was being way too manipulative and pushy with the church issue today. Yeah, it's obvious he wants Billy to leave the church, but come on. It annoys me how it was all fake and he was being so manipulative with it when we all know what the truth is. And then he tried to act all nice and supportive. I nearly puked and I've been one of the biggest Todd defenders here! That said, they were cute today having breakfast in all their domestic bliss.
At least Billy was able to talk openly with the Bishop. People throw the word love around too easily in soaps. They do not know the meaning of the word. No matter what people say about Sean I think he cares more for Billy than Todd does. You could see it today. I would like to see Todd really care for someone above himself one day. But he does what's best for him ultimately.
Todd was decent before he left for London then came back with a bad side. Why did they do that? Then they have been showing a different side for a while. Now this. The only thing I like now is his relationship with Tracy.

Hmm, I see your point BUT I've seen a few tumblrs or whatever you call them from when they both exchange the big 'l' word and by the look on his face when he says it, I think he might be genuine. Then there's the broad smile across his face when Billy says it back and finally when Billy leaves the shop. But at this time, I'm only guessing. You could be right.

Maybe Todd just likes the chase and now he has Billy, he is bored, I do think Todd genuinely does have strong feelings for Billy maybe not love just yet
Todd wouldn't have been prepared to wait a couple of months to sleep with Billy if he didn't have genuine feelings for him. However, he can be very selfish so it's not surprising he's putting what he wants before Billy's needs at the moment. Hopefully that'll change if the couple are allowed to be together for the long term.

What?! I don't think this is true. Yes, Sean cares about Billy, but do you really think Todd doesn't? Yes, what he did was extremely selfish and cruel, but he did it with the best intentions in mind. In his messed up head he probably thought he was doing Billy a favor, out of love. I'm not defending what he did btw, it was wrong, obviously. But I think he knows he made a mistake. You could see the pain on his face in yesterday's episode, he was very upset and looked deflated when Billy said he knew it wasn't Sean. I think he knows Billy will find out soon and it's heading for a break up and he can't stop it. You could see it even during the breakfast. His mind was clearly somewhere else, he looked to be in thinking mode when Billy came from behind to kiss him. I bet he knows he messed up, but it's too late to do anything about it now.
Anyway.. my point is just, Todd is genuine about Billy. I do believe him when he says he loves him. What he did, although wrong, proves he loves him, because he'd do anything to be with Billy, to live with him. Yeah, he did it because he hates the church too, and didn't want Billy to face the bigotry and discrimination from the church. So in his mind he probably though it was a selfless thing he did.

Yes, I think Todd is genuine about Billy. Todd messing up doesn't change the fact that he really did have feelings for Billy, probably even loved him. I think the relationship was genuine. Him making a mistake (a big one), doesn't change that.
Maybe Todd just likes the chase and now he has Billy, he is bored, I do think Todd genuinely does have strong feelings for Billy maybe not love just yet
Nah, I've seen him say I love you to Billy and it seemed genuine, it was the look at his face in the end, you could tell. This is NOTHING like with Marcus. Back then he enjoyed the chase then got bored, cheated and dumped him. This relationship is completely different, the fact that they waited two months to even have sex, should tell you Todd is in it with all his heart. He could have cheated at any time. He had plenty of opportunities, especially after the hotel room scene, but he didn't. He waited because he loves Billy. Also.. the look on his face when he told Billy he loved him seemed very genuine. So again, him messing up doesn't change the fact that it was genuine. He made a huge mistake, that's it.
Todd wouldn't have been prepared to wait a couple of months to sleep with Billy if he didn't have genuine feelings for him. However, he can be very selfish so it's not surprising he's putting what he wants before Billy's needs at the moment. Hopefully that'll change if the couple are allowed to be together for the long term.
Exactly, he wouldn't have waited to sleep with him if he didn't have genuine feelings for him. Also, he could have cheated at any point, but he didn't. Yeah, he can be really selfish, but in his messed up head he probably thought he did a selfless thing by "saving Billy from the prejudice in the church" smh. I think he had the best intentions in mind, he did it for Billy because he didn't like seeing him so upset. But it wasn't his choice to make. He messed up, badly.
I hope the writers know how good they are together, because although they are very different, and don't agree on everything, they're still such a great couple. They have amazing chemistry and the passion is unreal. Corrie has done such a good job with showing them being affectionate too. I hope we don't have to wait too long until they get back together. I think this issue can be sorted out, they just need to have a serious talk, Todd needs to apologize for what he did, and accept that the church means a lot to Billy, and sometimes it will interfere with the relationship, but Todd needs to respect it if it's what Billy wants. If he really cares for Billy I do think he will at least try to accept the church in their lives. He just needs to decide if Billy is worth it.

It's not that he called the bishop. It's that he let Sean cop the blame
It's not that he called the bishop. It's that he let Sean cop the blame
No, he didn't. He literally said "you don't know it was Sean, it could have been anyone of your parishioners on the bishop hotline."

Todd knew Billy blamed Sean and could have cleared his name in an instant. He chose not to. So yes, he allowed him to take the blame.
