Godfrey saw Toby just like any other actor, if not a little obnoxious. He gave him the role as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. But his closing night murder attempt had gone awry when a poisoned Toby crawled from the backstage onto the streets, making him the first to survive Godfrey's sacrifices. So he lies in wait, paying off Toby's medical expenses to make him further indebted to the mentor. In reality, he is livid, broiling in hatred for the one that got away. He intends to seduce him back to the troupe and kill him off properly in Hamlet.
Toby was very close with Godfrey prior to his stroke. He was determined to land leading roles in his productions, not afraid to develop an unprofessionally tight relationship in order to get ahead. He saw Godfrey as a fatherly mentor. Post-stroke, his feelings towards him have gotten complicated as he's tempted to rejoin the theatre troupe, but there's this nagging uneasiness within as Godfrey's presence becomes overbearing.
He does not know Godfrey was behind his stroke, as he thinks it was caused by overexertion working for Godfrey.
