Most recently he lost his job over over his betrayal.
The undertaker – who is played by actor Gareth Pierce in the ITV soap – stole from his own boyfriend by blackmailer Will, who’s threatening to expose Todd’s evil schemes to Billy.
Todd stole an expensive heat pump that Billy purchased for the halfway house and framed Paul Foreman for the crime.
His actions come back to haunt him after Ed breaks the news to Billy that the insurance won’t pay out for the stolen heat pump.
Todd is left horrified when Billy met up with the bishop and resigned as archdeacon.
