Personally, I'm really pleased that Stuart Blackburn is bringing Bruno Langley back as Todd Grimshaw. I always really liked the character, enjoyed his interactions with Eileen and Jason and thought his major "coming out" storyline back in the day was well played out.Todd's return to Weatherfield later this year does pose some very interesting questions. While he was been away for quite some time, there are still loads of regular characters in Coronation Street that would remember him from his original stint. It will be lovely to see the Grimshaw family reunited on screen again. However, where will all this leave Sean? Never a favourite character of mine, will Todd's return finally push him out of the Grimshaws and out of Corrie? Or will Todd prove to be Sean's new love interest? (I sincerely hope he doesn't!)
There was also a suggestion that Todd could feature in the ongoing storyline between Marcus and Maria. I see Todd and Marcus as a much more interesting pairing - two generally decent, nice characters in a relationship would be a rarity and very refreshing! I'm sure Jason and Eileen would have some things to say about Todd being with Marcus, not to mention what this development would do to cringey Sean.Going back even further into the Corrie mists of time, who can forget Todd's awkward lunge at Nick Tilsley while he was dating Nick's sister Sarah-Lou? I wonder whether Corrie will bring that storyline back in any way?
I'm sure Gail's face will be puckering as soon as she gets a whiff of young Todd being back in town. We can only hope his reappearance leads to a rematch of Gail and Eileen's clash on the cobbles. Surely one of Coronation Street's finest moments in recent times.
I wonder how Nick and Todd will interact given what has gone on before? I'm sure it will be awkward at first given Nick has adopted a new face since Todd last went in for a snog. Whatever happens, I'm sure it will be an interesting time on the cobbles!
What would you like to see happen once Todd is reunited with the rest of the Grimshaws?
