Coronation Street villain Theo Silverton is reunited with another family member next week – but one of his biggest enemies is determined to ruin things.
Hot on the heels of Theo’s ex-wife Danielle paying a visit to Weatherfield last Friday, his teenage son Miles is next on the scene.
Young actor Lewis William Magee has reprised his role as Miles for another episode, following on from his appearances in the earlier stages of Theo’s storyline.
Miles reappears just as Theo’s ongoing feud with Carl Webster is reaching fever pitch. With everyone in Weatherfield now aware of what Theo is capable of, Carl is determined to find a way to make him suffer.
Carl goads Theo in the hope of provoking him into violence and getting him arrested, but whether the scheming scaffolder will rise to the bait remains to be seen.
Later in the week, a homeless Theo crawls out of his van – still casting a sinister shadow over Weatherfield even though nobody wants him around.
“It’s at this point that Miles heads over for a chat with his dad,” explains our Corrie source. “He’s horrified to see the state of him, though – Theo clearly isn’t his usual self now that he has nowhere to live and everyone has turned against him.
“Feeling desperate, Theo then seizes this chance to get back in his estranged family’s good books – anything to find a new place to stay!”
Theo suggests that Miles could speak to Danielle on his behalf and find out whether they can all try again as a family.
Overhearing this, Carl is shocked and sees an opportunity to finally get one over on Theo. Who’ll come out on top between the two enemies?
