[Son of Cain]

What does Todd need a car for, I do not ever remember seeing him in one. If he needs one for undertaking business surely he would use a company car ?

No-one in Corrie needs a car for commuting, that's for sure!

I don't think he works at all. I think he just pretends to work as a scaffolder so he can walk about in a vest. We rarely see him do any work. He does not seem to have a yard to store his scaffold tubes and boards. I do not understand his partnership with Gary, surely Gary does not need a scaffold for every job. I think truth be known he is a secret millionaire who is slumming it.

What about the "big shop" at Freshco?

i really don't care about betsy and her mothers and dirty coppers

Not only do I not care about Betsy and her two mothers, but I have completely lost the thread as to what is going on. Why does it seem Betsy is being fitted up for damaging a police car? Did Costello act on his own when Becky was packed off to Spain or was this a legitimate police action? The only ray of hope is that the three of them all go to Spain.

It appears that Costello is a bent copper and Becky knows it or is involved in that as well...I never took to DS Swain or her daughter, this storyline is not changing my mind

They have a Sainsbury just down the road now... walking distance ..

I thought he worked as a scaffolder for a company rather than owning the company but might have got that wrong... wish Theo would get a decent haircut .. the curly bit is particularly irritating...

If he worked for a company he would not be in a position he make deals with Gary. From what we have seen he works on his own, but I think he did have a mate when we first met him. Not very realistic portrayal of how a scaffolder works.
