Sarah Platt is currently in prison on Coronation Street

Coronation Street aired a series of emotional scenes on Monday night as Sarah Platt finally reunited with Todd Grimshaw. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Sarah (Tina O'Brien) had killed her best friend's abusive partner, Theo Silverton, and now she is behind bars, having been charged with the murder.

When Todd (Gareth Pierce) found out, he refused to have anything to do with Sarah and cut her out completely, especially after she initially let his daughter Summer go to prison instead. But, just days after Sarah split up with partner DC Kit Green for fear of what would happen to his career, she asked Todd to visit her, and he accepted.

Once there, Todd immediately noticed bruising on Sarah's face, and she told him she had been attacked by an inmate. On the verge of tears, Sarah told Todd she couldn't do anything to stop the attacks, and he said: "Well... I won't sit back and let my mate be bullied."

When she pointed out that he recently said they'd never be friends again, he said: I had a lot of time to think while I was away. I know how scared you must've been. I still don't understand how you could let Summer be in here.

"You don't need to explain or make excuses again, I don't think I'll ever get that bit of it I don't think I'll ever get that bit of it but I know you and you're a good person. You've always been a brilliant mate. You messed up big time. But I love you," and Sarah replied: "I love you too, Grimshaw."

Sarah's cellmate, Kacey, who protected her in the attack, then came with the news that her son hadn't come to visit her because he had been arrested. She started pressuring Sarah to get Kit to pull some strings to help her out. Later on, Sarah spoke to Todd on the phone, and he begged her to tell Kit about the attacks. She refused to do so, and he said to her: "If you don't, I will."

Todd previously vowed to not speak to Sarah again

Fans were quick to react to the emotional scenes, with one writing on X, formerly known as Twitter: "I love their friendship so so much im so glad Todd has given her another chance."

Another said: "Touching prison scene with Todd & Sarah today. They really are the love of each other's lives. Even if they can't be together as a couple, they'll always be there for each other. Hope Todd steps in to help care for Harry. That would be a good relationship to build up."

A third said, "Todd & Sarah...loved that scene" Todd made his first appearance on Coronation Street in 2001 and was introduced as the son of Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) and the brother of Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).

He and Sarah had a relationship as teenagers but it ended abruptly when Todd realised he was gay. During their time together, Sarah became pregnant with a son, whom they called Billy, but he was born three months prematurely and died the following day.

Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
