Why on earth would Sean answer Todd's phone? I wouldn't dream of answering anyone's phone, it smacks of nosiness.
And, oh, Eileen is going to look really stupid when the truth eventually comes out..."rubs hands with glee"
I have to ask whatever happened to Cathy's house? She obviously doesn't live there anymore. Why couldn't she sell it and give the money to her nephew. I fail to see why Roy is expected to support Cathy's nephew. Where is his feckless mother?
@ Derelict Cucumberpatch it is Sean we're talking about so nosiness is to be expected. You must be a saint not to want some dirt on someone who just stabbed you in the back.
@Anonymous,16:15, I also wonder about that house but after hoarders have made a mess sometimes a house has to be stripped down to the studs and new walls and floors put in, so often, the owners sell it for a song or have to demolish. Cathy was supposed to tackle her mess while living at Roy's but instead she's always hanging about on Corrie so for all we know that place is still a messy disaster zone.
If Todd can turn on a dime and revert to type onto the Dark Side, then he was just playing Billy all along. Wah wah wah......someone broke my heart I'm becoming a baddie again. Pulleeeze.
And the Roy/Cathy/Alex trio is not working for me at all. Cathy and Alex just seem like they are using Roy. They have turned Alex into a rather unlikeable character. It's as if we are supposed to excuse everything and feel sorry for him because of his disability. But, having a disability doesn't automatically make you a good or nice person. He's a jerk actually who habitually lies and uses people. Who needs him? I know I don't.
I don't believe Todd has gone to the bad again, he's setting a trap for Phelan and Vinny, following Billy's advice earlier to do his best to expose them. At the time he said "But how?" and now he's thought of a way because everyone is willing to think the worst of him.
