I've recently watched Todd's coming out episodes and there was another room by the stairs on the way to the lounge. I don't think that's been seen since. Having said that I don't think the dimensions of the house would work with that room without it becoming a Tardis situation.
It looks like Coronation Street's Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw WILL become parents following the death of Billy's ex, Drew.
It was Drew's dying wish that Billy would adopt his young daughter Summer, but the vicar's boyfriend Todd Grimshaw wasn't keen on the idea and so he initially said no.

But now the soap's producer Kate Oates has been spilling all the details and it looks like the pair will end up raising the child after all.
"We will learn that maybe Billy's past isn't quite as straight-forward as Todd thinks. It's about how they settle into parenting and their different approaches to that," she said.
"Todd can be bad, and Billy is so good, but I'm interested to know what Billy was like before he was a vicar.
"We've met his brother before and seen that he's dark and troubled, so maybe Billy isn't quite as straight-forward as Todd thinks."
Ohhh, very interesting.
Viewers were only introduced to Drew late last month, when he visited the Street and told Billy that he was terminally ill.
And while Drew is still alive on our screens at the moment, the cast have recently been seen filming Drew's funeral scenes, so it looks like viewers should prepare themselves to say goodbye to the character soon.
His death and funeral will no doubt spark further discussions over Summer's future, but we'll have to wait and see what convinces Todd to change his mind about becoming a parent.

kate is trying to make tilly out do robron by making them parents first
Tilly are much better than Robron already at the moment anyways.
Not overexposed, not overpromoted, better chemistry.
I was hoping Billy would uncover Todd's plan in the scam
What scam?? Has there been a scam on Coronation Street? http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...are-527655.gif http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...out-628956.gifQuote:

Yeah, but i'm guessing Bruno's having off time ready for Todd's story with Billy.
All of the Grimshaw's have been quiet for the last 2 months.
Craig and Mary far better as supporting Bethany. And Sarah has Gary.
he has a nice tan
Has been sunny in Manchester area recently :pQuote:

Todd and his partner Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) are keen to keep their promise to Summer's late dad Drew by raising the young girl as their own, but Drew's parents are currently standing in their way.
Next week's Corrie episodes see Todd put pressure on Billy to ignore the warnings of Drew's parents and attend his funeral, pointing out that it's the right thing to do for Summer's sake.
When the couple turn up at the church, they're immediately turned away by the vicar, who protests that Drew's parents want it to be a "family only" service.
Refusing to be deterred by the knockback, Todd and Billy defiantly come inside anyway and they're deeply moved to see Summer giving an emotional eulogy in front of the mourners.
When Summer finally breaks down, Billy rushes to her aid but she's cold towards him and wonders why he's there – clearly still influenced by Drew's parents.
After returning to the cobbles later on, Todd looks around Adam's new law office on Victoria Street and is stunned when Summer suddenly turns up seeking legal advice of her own.
Making an impulsive decision, Todd agrees to join forces with Adam by working at the firm and it's not long before he reveals his ulterior motive – wanting to be involved in Summer's case.
When Summer later pays a second visit to the solicitors, she's put out to find that her meeting is with Todd, but he soon puts her at her ease. What exactly does she want? And can Todd use this chance to prove that Summer is better off with him and Billy?
Bruno Langley, who plays Todd, revealed: "Once Todd is told he isn't going to see Summer again, that only makes him want to even more. You don't really say to Todd that he can't do something, because he usually gets what he wants, whether that's things or people.
"So that's part of it, but also he has met Summer and knows she is a special kid. Don't get in the way of Todd!
"When Summer turns up at the law firm, all Todd wants to do is to chat to her and make her realise that Billy and Todd are the best people to have her. He just wants to listen to her."
Discussing the potential pitfalls of Todd teaming up with Adam, Bruno added: "Todd knows he wants to raise this child and have his own place with Billy, so he knows he needs a job.
"Adam is a dubious character, but Todd was a clerk in London at a lawyer's firm, so he knows about all this kind of stuf. So why not use what he knows to make a bit more money?
"He's a pragmatist, so in his world it makes sense, but he doesn't trust Adam – no way. Todd doesn't even trust himself most of the time so why would he trust anyone else, especially Adam Barlow?
"Billy tells Todd to be wary of Adam and for him to make sure he is only doing above the board stuff. Billy makes Todd promise him and Todd does, but will it be plain sailing?"
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, July 5 at 7.30pm and Thursday, July 6 at 8.30pm on ITV.
I'm glad KO is revisiting Todd's career.
how has adam (failed exams) and todd a law firm?
I think it is strange that out of all the law firms Summer goes to theirs
Seems it is true that Todd's leaving: http://www.soapsquawk.co.uk/coronati...-langley-axed/
todd to jail for his part in scam with phelan they can share a cell
If he has already left, we will not see him being prosecuted and sentenced ... I shall miss him, he has always been a great character ...Quote:

Coronation Street star Bruno Langley has been axed by the soap amid claims of a sexual assault against a woman recently. The actor, who plays popular character Todd Grimshaw, has been at the centre of controversy recently after a woman accused him of committing a sexual assault in a nightclub, which police are investigating. Bruno denies all claims of wrongdoing.
Bruno is no longer under contract and will not be filming any further scenes for the soap. It is claimed that bosses are now trying to work out a way to write out the character, with an outcome likely to see Todd leaving along with his on screen adoptive daughter Summer Spellman.
A spokesperson told us: ‘Bruno Langley is no longer contracted to Coronation Street.’
A source told added to us: ‘Bruno Langley’s contract ended on October 26th following an internal inquiry. This inquiry was separate to any police investigation and was independent of any inquiries they are making.’
Bruno said last night: ‘I’d like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.’
Bruno joined the show as Todd way back in 2001 and is currently involved in a major storyline involving his on screen boyfriend Billy Mayhew, who is hiding a dark secret.
:(
Why not just have Phelan take him prisoner and then shoot him? Obvious.
Doubt they'd want to kill the character off. If not Oates, another producer is bound to want him back in the future for comedy value if the actor is innocent.Quote:

No, he won't get an on-screen exit, his sacking would be with immediate effect. If he is guilty, you couldn't expect him to continue working just so he can get an on-screen exit!Quote:

She may remain with Billy. Drew had picked Billy to take over care of her before he even knew that Todd was in the equation.Quote:

Sad for Sue Cleaver who plays Eileen too. With no sons in the show and Phelan likely on the way out, the axe may fall on her.
I was wondering if the storyline might have been headed towards his exit already, given the situation with Billy and Todd. Some actors have then had pre-recorded scenes cut from the show, in addition to not returning to filming once accused.Quote:

was william and michael axed / sacked and then rehired or just given leave?Quote:

They were both suspended ... I like to think Bruno is also just suspended and able to return should he get cleared of the charges ...Quote:

Yep.. the actor who plays Todd has left the show.
Not the first show to dissociate with an actor in the process of legal events.
I can see both sides, but isnt are law innocent till proven guilty?
Scott from Emerdale went the same way, mind you Ken and Kevin came back!
So sad about Todd (Bruno Langley) I like the character, poor Summer just when Todd promised her he would always be there for her, men eh!!
Whatever the outcome of the investigation into Bruno Langley's behaviour and the rights and wrongs of his remaining with Corrie as an actor, I don't think we should forget that the character, Todd, was a participant in fleecing people in the Street of thousands of pounds as well as knowing what Adam did to Underworld without telling the truth. He has adversely affected the lives of many people in Corrie and is not, in spite of how he comes across, especially with Summer, a very nice person. The character should get its comeuppance, whatever happens to Bruno.
Todd is an angel compared to Phelan!
Doesn't make it any better for all those people who lost loads of money or their jobs.Quote:

Coronation Street will have to rewrite storylines to explain Todd Grimshaw's absence following Bruno Langley being dropped by the soap.
It was confirmed this weekend that Coronation Street had parted ways with the actor, with a representative confirming that Bruno is no longer contracted to the show.
In past cases of an actor being let go from a soap, their character is usually abruptly written off-screen, as we saw with the departures of Marc Anwar and Chris Fountain, however Digital Spy understands that in Bruno's case the character's already-filmed scenes will air as planned, with Todd's final appearance expected to be on Christmas Eve.
It's understood that Bruno was working on the soap's Christmas storyline when Coronation Street initially launched an inquiry into the actor, at which point Bruno stopped filming new scenes.
Following Bruno's departure, any storyline that Todd Grimshaw was involved in is likely to be rewritten to account for his absence – and as soaps tend to write their storylines months in advance, that means scripts for episodes going into the first few months of next year will need reworking.
Bruno himself confirmed he'd parted ways with the soap in a statement released to Digital Spy today (October 29).
"Sadly, I will no longer be working on Coronation Street. Acting on the show has been the fulfilment of a personal dream," the statement read.
"Playing the role of Todd Grimshaw since I was 17 years old has been a huge part of my life, and an absolute honour. I would like to thank all of my friends who work on the show for their love, friendship and support during this extremely difficult period.
"I will make a further statement in due course, and when I am able to do so."
The inquiry followed recent reports that the actor is facing an allegation of sexual assault against a woman in a nightclub, and a source for the soap told us that their inquiry was independent to any police investigation. Langley has denied the claims.
