Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw is about to have his scheming past come back to haunt him.
Todd (Gareth Pierce) managed to win back his ex Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) earlier this year after months of plotting as he set out to break up Billy's relationship with Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).
What to Read Next
His scheming paid off when Billy ultimately decided to give his relationship with Todd another go, but Billy is still unaware of the extreme lengths that Todd resorted to when trying to get him back.
Late last year, Todd bribed a young boy called Will to manipulate Paul's emotions and drive a wedge between him and Billy.
Under Todd's instructions, Will pretended to Paul that he was being abused by a violent stepdad. This caused Paul to cross the line while trying to protect Will, breaking the rules of the charity helpline he was volunteering for.
More recently, Todd paid Will to trash Billy's flat, which had alarming consequences when Summer Spellman stumbled across the intruder, rushed outside and was hit by a car.
With Todd and Billy's relationship set to hit a bit of a setback in upcoming scenes, it seems things will only get more complicated for Todd as Inside Soap reports that Will (Ben Hackett) is set to return to the cobbles.
What is Will doing back in Weatherfield? And are Todd's past sins set to be revealed with Will's return?
Earlier this year, Corrie boss Iain MacLeod hinted that Todd's victory in this story may only be temporary.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media, MacLeod explained: "He will ultimately and temporarily look like he's got everything he wants. Unfortunately, the lengths that Todd has gone to in order to get what he wants will be the very thing that will be his undoing in the end.
"Todd gets his happy ending but it's already got a massive fracture in it. In a very explosive, dramatic – again quite thriller-ish – way later in the year, Todd's machinations will all come to light and he'll end up losing everything again."
He continued: "Todd being Todd, he's fairly Teflon. He'll lose everything again and then quite quickly set about reacquiring it, or something of equal value.
"We want to enjoy that character, really. We're conscious that the best villains are ones that you enjoy hating and almost laugh at their sheer audacity. Todd has that capacity to be very funny and enjoyable as a villain."
Coronation Street airs Monday, Thursday and Sunday this week on ITV. All three episodes are available to watch now on the ITV Hub.
