Why did Todd leave Corrie?
Todd went on the run from the police in 2017 after assaulting a police officer.
The character's off-screen exit was really to facilitate actor Bruno Langley’s departure after he was axed from the soap.
The seeds of Todd’s comeback storyline were sown in August 2020 when Mary and Sean open Eileen’s post and discover a letter from Todd demanding £1000.
Sean’s family and friends knew something was up when Todd failed to turn up.
And the plot thickened when Craig Tinker dropped the bombshell that Todd is no longer being hunted for by the police - leaving his friends and family wondering why he’d been keeping away from Weatherfield.
