He’s already managed to ruin his brother Jason’s relationship, and now Todd Grimshaw is targeting his mum Eileen’s chances of romance.

Todd (Bruno Langley) helped his mother (Sue Cleaver) set up her internet dating profile, but when she meets up with her new date Adrian, played by former Brookside and Holby City actor Mark Moraghan, her scheming son tries to sabotage things.

Eileen and Adrian’s date goes well, and she wants to see him again. But Todd tells her not to put all her eggs in one basket and sets up a fake online dating identity to tempt her to keep searching.

Bruno said: “He has managed to destroy Jason’s relationship and now he sees a way that he can get revenge on his mum. Until now he hasn’t been sure what he could do, but this plays right into his hands.

“Todd tells Eileen that she has more than one man interested in her, so she should see them all and make her own decision, not just go for the first man who takes her out. She does listen to him and has no reason to believe he is being anything other than truthful.

“He sets up a profile of a rich man who has a lifestyle which is a world away from Eileen’s and a world away from Adrian too. She can’t believe that someone like that would be interested in her.”

Bruno revealed Todd is determined to make life difficult for his family because he blames them for the brutal mugging he suffered late last year.

The actor said: “Todd is a very unhappy man. He doesn’t like seeing other people happy as it makes him even more aware of how unhappy he is. He also blames them for what happened when he was attacked.”
