A special standalone episode that aired today saw Todd bravely report his husband Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) to the police after being subjected to months of verbal, psychological and physical abuse.
When Todd collated secret camera footage to prove what was going on, Theo manipulated the videos to look like he was the victim.
Earlier this week, a badly beaten Todd turned up on Sarah Platt's (Tina O'Brien) doorstep, begging her for help and asking her to take him to the police station. She'd believed that the couple had eloped to Northern Ireland, though it couldn't have been further from the truth.
"I do love the challenge of the way you get from A to B on a soap, because we don't always know the full arc - the full journey," Pierce told Radio Times.
"I think that's always a great bit of it, because [if you were working] on a six part drama, you would know the whole arc, and when you need to hit up [the highs and lows]. With us, it's a bit of a magnificent voyage of discovery with each set of scripts you get.

Pierce also noted the change in his character. Todd traditionally showed Machiavellian tendencies, often becoming embittered by the fortunes of those around him and would seemingly stop at nothing to get what he desired.
Despite that, the character has repeatedly been forgiven, cementing himself as a key part of the Weatherfield community - particularly so during Pierce's portrayal, with him stepping into Todd's shoes for the first time in 2020.
"It's all mixed in with with love, as well as a type of Stockholm Syndrome – or survivor guilt as well," Pierce reflected.
With Theo as of the residents who could potentially meet their maker in the forthcoming 'Murder Week', viewers may be wondering whether Todd could be responsible for his demise.
"I think that our audience would certainly feel like he's got plenty of motive by this stage, because they find it quite an infuriating watch. I think there's possibly even justification if Todd were to do something like that. I don't know.
