The Underworld machinist has been exploring his romantic potential with newcomer Laurence and, despite some mishaps, the pair seem to get along well.

Coming up on ITV, Laurence even suggests to Sean they have a trip away.

However, Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) soon sees him surreptitiously send a text and his suspicions grow.

In later scenes, Sean announces that he and his son Dylan will be heading off to the Peaks with Laurence – leaving a jealous Todd with his mother Eileen and her partner George Shuttleworth.

Sean, Dylan and Laurence soon return home from their night in the Peaks with stars in their eyes.

But while alone, Laurence tells Todd that he can sense he isn’t liked and assures he’d welcome the chance to change his mind.

Todd thaws over a bottle of wine and, when Laurence goes to leave him, he leans in for a kiss.

Understandably, this causes tensions to rise, prompting Todd to apologise to Sean for coming onto Laurence.

Yet according to him, he wasn’t the only guilty party as Todd insists the flirting was mutual.

Sean loses his temper, undoubtedly disappointed that his relationship is taking a turn, like many others before.

In later scenes, Laurence confides that it’s the anniversary of Lindsey’s death and he still feels guilty for marrying her.

Laurence decides to buy her parents some flowers as a gesture of kindness but Todd soon gets distracted by gossip when he hears Mary Taylor and Rita Tanner discuss Lyndsey’s death.

According to them, it was even big news at the time – what will Todd learn?

While this remains to be shown, Todd is intrigued and later does some research into the death of Laurence’s wife.

This prompts him to come up with his own conclusion.

Could it mean danger for Sean?

Is Laurence hiding something?

What will Todd find on Lindsey?

Coronation Street airs on ITV.
