Coronation Street’s Todd Grimshaw could be set for a surprise new cobbles romance.
The beloved character (Gareth Pierce) has been a staple on the soap since 2001, rocking up with the rest of the Grimshaw clan. Since then, it’s fair to say he’s played a part in several big storylines.
From committing fraud to plenty of affairs, Todd’s time in Weatherfield has not been short of drama. He has also had a slew of failed romances too, including Sarah-Louise Platt (Tina O’Brien) and Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank).
Todd’s last romance was with Moses Ekundayo (Michael Fatogun) at the start of 2024. Moses worked as Paul Foreman’s (Peter Ash) personal assistant as Paul learned to live with his Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Sadly, Moses ended up moving away from Weatherfield – with Todd once again left single. However, viewers are convinced that he is about to strike up a new cobbles romance. What’s more, in a recent interview, talking about Todd on the soap in 2025, Corrie’s new boss Kate Brooks said: “There might be a new man for Todd coming.
“He’s been single for donkey’s years, and he’s fantastic. The Grimshaws are another big clan I am eager to explore,” she added. And now, fans have ‘figured out’ who Todd’s new man is.

As well as confirming Todd’s new storyline, Kate also shared that a brand new character Carl Webster is heading to the soap. Carl is the brother of Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Debbie (Sue Devaney) and has been mentioned briefly over the years.
He has never walked onto the cobbles as he lives in Germany, where he was born. But when Carl makes his debut, viewers think it’ll only be a matter of time before he and Todd end up together.

On X, one person said: “Romance for Todd Grimshaw – confirmed by new producer Kate Brooks a few months ago. She said Todd’s guy will be a ‘new’ man on the Street (not Billy and not Sean) – will it be Carl Webster?”
Someone else added: “I think that Carl is gay too and he’ll get with Todd.” A third penned: “Same here.” Another person declared: “Glad Todd is back to having storylines- it’s been a while!”
