While Todd actor Gareth did not address the drama with Theo or the theories from fans, he did look to the future on the show. While keeping quiet on the details, he promised “an exciting year” ahead and big scenes for Todd as learns to stand on his own two feet.

He shared: “I don’t know what they’ve got planned for the 65th but they have announced the crossover, so that’s quite impressive. Again they are keeping it tight to their chests with what they are telling us because they know loose lipped actors get them into trouble.

“It’s the best way cos we do slip up on what we say sometimes! But it’s super exciting and has never been done before. It’s unknown territory for us as well and we’re waiting to hear how involved as characters we will be in those episodes.”

Gareth went on: “I’d imagine there is something cooking for the 65th as well. It’s such an exciting year for the show, it feels like a bit of evolution is going on.”

On what’s ahead for Todd, he told us: “For Todd there’s a sense of he’s needed to grow up or a while.

“He is still living at home with his mum. I think maybe he needs to see who he is without his mum there. They are so alike and both so stubborn.

“They love each other dearly and also bash into each other constantly, so it will be interesting to see how her absence and Todd being without her will play out on screen.”
