Todd Grimshaw

[Dazzle]

I didn't mean grassing as in grassing to the police, I meant grassing as in grassing to Eileen.

Eileen's never believed any of Todd's previous warnings about Phelan! She's now in even further over her head having agreed to marry him, so I can't see her taking Todd's word over his this time either.

You should know that everyone in the Corrie universe (including the aptly-named plod) always takes the word of villains who smirk and twirl their moustaches at every given opportunity over their nearest and dearest.

I know I should take my own advice here and not look too deeply into this - it is Corrie after all - but shouldn't it seem a bit strange to everyone that no building or preparation work of any sort had taken place? I presume there were no contracts in place for architects, builders, plumbers, electricians, etc. etc. Wouldn't it be just a tiny bit suspicious that Phelan would be unaware that absolutely nothing had been done?

I can't imagine how he's going to explain himself but - seeing as we know he's staying put for the moment - it appears he must come up with a credible story that satisfies Eileen and the police (at least in the short term). He did have a few hours after discovering Vinny's deceit to work something out and destroy any evidence against himself - and even perhaps manufacture evidence against Vinny (and maybe Todd too).

How come he has no suitcase and put his stuff in a bin bag. Surely he must have had one to take to Mexico

I'm wondering if the lack of suitcase was deliberate on Phelan's part to back up his claim that he'd never had any intention of fleeing? I expect his luggage for Mexico was kept well away from Coronation Street - perhaps at the building site?

He must have taken his suitcase (or, surely, suitcases) with him when he went to find Vinny as he thought they were going straight to the airport.What did he do with it (them) after that?

He must have got rid of/hid anything that connects him to the scam in the hours between being told Vinny had gone and turning up at Eileen's later that night.

We might find out in a while as the story develops...

Really, Perdy? This is Coronation Street we're talking about!

I suppose it might all depend on what Todd does now. There is no longer the threat of Vinny hanging over them. It all comes down now to whether Todd is desperate enough for his part in all this not to come out or whether he really wants to protect his mother by grassing on Phelan.

I think Todd wants to protect himself now so he won't tell all about Phelan which is a shame

I agree, I'm disappointed in Todd too.
