Privacy Notice Gareth Pierce made his debut as Todd Grimshaw in Coronation Street four years ago and has since been at the centre of multiple storylines. Todd, the son of veteran character, Eileen Grimshaw, has survived a showdown with gangster Mick Chaney and dealt with strained relations with Eileen’s partner, George Shuttleworth after the two used to work together at Shuttleworth’s funeral parlour. Viewers will remember that the tensions were caused by Todd’s ambitions as a funeral director, he was nominated for the Young Funeral Director of the Year award, and believed he deserved a pay rise. Of course, fans will know that George, the owner of the funeral directors, was reluctant to up his wage.
