On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the goings on in Corrie between the 13th and the 17th July (Episodes #11,898 - #11,902).
Well this was quite the week to be a Corrie fan, wasn't it? If you're on social media, it will have been almost impossible to escape discussion of the shocking new story centred around Betsy and Dylan this week, which has already become one of Coronation Street's most controversial yet. You won't be surprised to hear that sexual strangulation isn't exactly the sort of topic we were expecting to be discussing when we first started the podcast fourteen years ago, and it's certainly not something we're comfortable talking about either, but far be it from us to back down from a challenge - or sugarcoat our opinions either! Some of you will no doubt be nodding your heads along with what we say in this episode and others will totally disagree, but we hope it gives you something to think about at least! And Betsy's stroke wasn't the only massive twist this week either: we never expected Sarah's confession to Kit to come quite so soon - and the aftermath had us on the edge of our seats too... Don't trust him, Gary! All this plus a new man for Tracy, Chrissy's continuing shopping addiction and a return of the Winter-Brown money woes... It's a jam-packed Street Talk for sure!
Up next on the show, we talk about rumours of a new Bill Roache documentary that's presumably being made to align with his upcoming 5000th episode, and of course, there's a whole bunch of your listener feedback - enjoy!

Recently, we made another trip up north to take part in the second Walk For Webster, a sponsored stroll between the old and new Corrie sets accompanied by a gaggle of listeners. In this special episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience, share stories about revisiting the Coronation Street exhibit and chat about visiting a handful of spots that the show has visited on location over the years, including the places where Julie Carp and Renee Roberts met their maker!
Also available as a video on YouTube, including tonnes of photos and footage from the weekend. https://youtu.be/AIskO8uTjPg

On this week's Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 6th and the 10th July (Episodes #11,893 - #11,897).
Just a short episode of the podcast this week - by our standards at least - as we're up in Manchester for the Walk For Webster this weekend, we've had a bit of a busy day and we're absolutely knackered! Fortunately, there wasn't too much in the way of massive story twists or revelations to keep us talking in today's episode, although we do delve relatively deeply into Christina's admission that she has a spending addiction - to be honest, we're just pleased she hasn't been up to anything irredeemably sneaky! Also this week, Abi discovers she's got a bit of a mould issue at her flat that nearly has fatal consequences for Alfie, Will tries to adjust to life after Megan, and Tyrone comes face to face with his long-lost father!

It's Resident Review time again, and this week, we're moving down one house in the terrace and looking at Number 5 Coronation Street! Like Number 3, The Winter-Brown interior hasn't been seen on screen at all so far in 2026, but that hasn't stopped us from sharing our thoughts on the family - how they've fared in terms of storylines over the past few years and what direction we'd like to see them go in future. Are the quads nearly reaching the stage where they'll be able to be used more, and what about Joseph, who'd been very much absent recently but is actually only a little younger than Sam! And is it possible for Gemma and Chesney to have a story that isn't based on them not having any money? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

This episode of the podcast covers the action in Weatherfield between the 30th June and the 3rd July (Episodes #11,888 - 11,892).
The lion's share of the screen time was taken up by the drama surrounding Megan's trial this week, so what was our verdict on how it went down? On the whole, it was pretty enjoyable, though we can't deny we would have preferred a bit more in the way of evidence and surprise twists - Will's initial testimony that there was no relationship between him and Megan was certainly a shock, but once that was over, we couldn't help but feel most of the rest of the trial played it a bit safe for our liking. Away from the courtroom, Sam's turning corner in his recovery, but will Nick and Leanne's actions threaten to derail it? Meanwhile, things are looking up on the romance front for Asha, Sarah and Jodie get into a stalemate situation, and Ruby and Hope are brewing a surprise for Tyrone.
In The Kabin, we remember Lovely Gay Ted as news of actor Michael Byrne's death broke this week, and we take a look at Corrie's nominations in the Inside Soap Awards. That's followed by the feedback section, where we hear more of your thoughts on the identity of Theo's killer plus your initial reactions to Megan's trial. We round things off with a bit of a spoilery segment as we chat about this week's cast news.

We’ve reached the halfway point of 2026, and you know what that means – it’s time for Coronation Street’s mid-year review! Corrie had some big promises to live up to going into the year, with a flash-forward murder mystery and, of course, its much-hyped crossover with Emmerdale. In this episode of the podcast, we ask whether the show has lived up to its own hype and whether both events have generated enough compelling storylines of their own. There've been some huge revelations in the form of Carl and Ben’s parentage, some bittersweet moments for Debbie, and the massively Marmite machinations of Evil Roy - not to mention the big scheduling shake-up at the start of the year. Basically, there’s a heck of a lot to cover in this episode, and we hope you enjoy listening!

In our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 22nd and the 25th June (Episodes #11,883 - 11,887)
At last, Theo's killer has been revealed - and it's not at all who we expected! (Despite Corrie making it very clear over the past few weeks that Gary and Sarah were caught up in the murder somehow...) We've had a couple of days since recording our instant reaction podcast to mull over Monday's big episode and rewatch the scaffolding scene a few more times - and the big question is still whether or not it was self-defence... Also this week in Weatherfield, Megan has one last ditch attempt to persuade Will to go easy on her at next week's trial, Asha and Nina move in together, and Jodie's latest attempt to make David jealous backfires!
Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we discuss the rumoured axing of the British Soap Awards and take a look at the Corrie fashion at the TRICs. That's followed by more of your feedback - including some conflicting views! - on this week's drama.

After taking a final bow on Classic Corrie just recently, Vernon Tomlin's back for an encore as we chat with actor Ian Reddington about his time on the cobbles. Ian opens up about working with Beverley Callard, chats about his own ideas about Vernon that were brought life on screen and of course, reminisces about recording the classic ballad, (Don't Fall Into) The Mason's Arms.

Theo's killer has finally been revealed! At the end of tonight's episode, we discovered just who was responsible for the Theo taking a tumble off the scaffolding - and it certainly wasn't the person we were expecting! In this special 20-minute episode of the podcast, we give our instant reactions to the reveal and ponder what it could mean next for everyone else involved...

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 15th and the 19th June (Episodes #11,878 - 11,882).
A pretty bangin' week of Corrie this week, we reckon, and we're not just talking about that gunshot in the garage on Tuesday's episode (which nobody nearby apparently heard?) Speaking of which, although the scenes of Carl holding Kevin and co up in the garage didn't quite have us on the edge of our seats the way Corrie probably wanted, we're definitely intrigued by the possibility of loose cannon Jodie now in possession of the weapon. Also this week, Debbie and the girls have a fun couple of episodes at the Costa del Weatherfield, but just why is Christina acting so suspicious? Speaking of suspicions, we loved Maria's growing concerns about Gary and Sarah. We're convinced that neither of them are responsible for Theo's death - but do they THINK they are, or perhaps they know (or at least believe they know) who the real killer is?

For this week’s bonus podcast, we return to the stories of those unfortunate Corrie residents who’ve found themselves behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit. Picking up where we left off last week, we revisit Gail’s imprisonment for the murder of her hapless husband, Yasmeen’s time on remand for trying to bump off Geoff and the time when Peter found himself sharing a cell with a certain hot-headed blast from the past... We also consider whether Coronation Street will ever be able to recreate the public frenzy sparked by Deirdre’s imprisonment: with that benchmark seemingly impossible to beat, which current character would stand the best chance of having fans metaphorically waving banners outside the studios demanding their release? And, perhaps more importantly, whose wrongful imprisonment story could still feel fresh and compelling in 2026? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

On this week's podcast, we chat about the drama in Weatherfield between the 7th and the 12th June (Episodes #11,873 - 11,877).
Although there were a handful of scenes focusing on Debbie and the Platts' stories this week, the lion's share of the screen time was given to Sam's psychosis and the ongoing murder investigation, with Corrie continuing to drip feed us information about what exactly happened the night Theo died. We have to admit, we found the revelation that Gary was up there on the scaffolding at some point the night of the murder particularly intriguing, but do we think he was the killer? Despite the bloodied scaffold (or was it a sledgehammer?) in his hand, we're going to say no. As for the other major story, we know that Evil Roy is a total Marmite addition to the show, but for those of us who can't get enough of it, we were dining on a deliciously thick helping this week - and honestly, we couldn't take our eyes off the screen whenever he came on! With Sam ending the week at the hospital, though, is this the last we'll see of the Shakespeare-quoting figment of the boy's imagination, or does Evil Roy still have one final act to play?
Not really anything huge in the way of Corrie news this week, so we give The Kabin a swerve, but as always there's plenty of feedback to get share!

For this week's bonus podcast, we take a look at a selection of Corrie characters who've been banged up for crimes they didn't commit! With both Summer and Debbie spending time at His Majesty's pleasure in the past few months alone, we thought the time was right to chat about this increasingly common type of storyline, exploring when it works and when it falls sadly short. Plenty of characters have followed in Deirdre's footsteps since she famously cried out in court that she "didn't do any of it!" back in 1998, but have any of Corrie's attempts to recreate the success of that story ever come close? Unfortunately, time has not been on our side this week, and we've not managed to cover every single wrongful imprisonment storyline the show has produced over the years. Don't worry though - we'll be back next week with Part 2! In the meantime, we'd love to hear from you: which Weatherfield miscarriage of justice storylines stand out as your favourite and least favourite? Write in and let us know!

On this podcast, we chat about what went on in Weatherfield between the 1st and the 4th June 2026 (Episodes #11,869 - 11,872).
This week saw Daniel hit rock bottom after a meltdown at school before following in the footsteps of both Will and Sarah by getting completely plastered. Will Adam and Tracy’s scheme to teach the teacher a lesson be enough to pull him out of his downward spiral, or is he beyond help at this point? Meanwhile, Jodie continues to work towards her mysterious endgame, whatever that may actually be (seriously, does anyone know?). Also this week, Todd’s missing phone leads Lisa down another avenue in Theo’s murder case, Idris and Leanne continue to get cosy and Sam finds himself pushed aside by Hope in favour of Will. With Evil Roy’s influence still hanging over him, just what might he be persuaded to do next?
Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where congratulations are in order for a couple of cast members and we take a look at the latest chaos that the World Cup is about to inflict on the schedules. We round off the podcast with more of your fantastic feedback.

After debuting our latest series four weeks ago - the Resident Review - we're back again to discuss the state of another household. Rather than going directly next door to the Rovers and chatting about Number 1 (as we know there's something important coming up there pretty soon), we thought we'd skip over to the Baileys at Number 3. You can't deny that they've been very much on the quiet side of late, and it could even be argued that all this time after their debut, they've still not properly settled in, but we use this episode as a chance to review their current status on the Street, look back at their most recent stories, and ponder what the powers that be should do with them next.

On this week's episode of the podcast, we chat about what happened in Corrie between the 25th and the 29th May (Episodes #11,864 - 11,868).
There's a new guy in town, and in keeping with seemingly all of Corrie's new additions to the cast recently, he's a bit of a git! Idris schmoozed his way into Weatherfield this week, and it didn't take long for Leanne to fall for his roguish charms - just how long will it take for her to find out he's not quite as 'chill' as he first appears? Also this week, Daniel loses control after Truthteller's trolling intensifies, Ben worries that Megan's left Will seriously damaged, and Tyrone's got a secret that could set Summer free... but will he risk his own arrest by revealing what he knows about the night Theo died?
Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we take a first look at the scheduling chaos in store for Corrie once the World Cup starts, and we round off the podcast with more of your feedback on the recent goings on in Weatherfield.

It’s time for another classic character profile - though this week, we’re tackling an entire family in one go, because let’s face it, most of them probably couldn’t sustain a whole episode on their own! Arriving on the cobbles in 1974, the Hopkins clan - henpecked husband Idris, long-suffering Vera and formidable matriarch Megan - only stuck around for six months, so what exactly went wrong, and did the show give up on them too soon? We discuss the family’s brief and, at time, chaotic stay in Weatherfield and the continuing adventures of daughter Tricia, who managed to outlast the rest of her relatives and carve out a few memorable stories of her own.

On the latest episode of Conversation Street, we chat about all the Corrie drama between the 18th and the 22nd May 2026 (Episodes #11,859 - 11,864).
This week's Corrie had a major focus on Summer, who'd been doing a pretty good job of flying under the radar since the wedding episode despite viewers knowing that she was one of the last people to see him alive. Thanks to a few pieces of compelling evidence, the police haul her in for questioning this week and by the end of Friday's episode she's being charged with murder - but just why is Tyrone keeping quiet about her evidence, and what exactly is Christina still hiding? Also this week, Jodie continues to play her manipulative game with Daniel, Maggie begins to worm her way back into the Rovers and Roy's Rolls has its not so grand reopening.
Up next, it's The Kabin, and we check out who has - and possibly more importantly this year! - has not been nominated for an NTA, and we round off the show with more of your listener feedback.

This week's bonus podcast is a listener question segment, where we mull over two more topics suggested by our lovely ducklings. First off, Lese wants to know about the characters we've done a bit of a U-turn on over the years. Is there anyone we used to love but have gone cold on over the years? What about characters we've grown to love? Turns out there are plenty! After that, we tackle a questions from Rebecca, who wants to know if there are any children from Corrie's past who we'd like to see return as an adult. What would they be like, and what would be the reason to bring them back? We reckon we get a couple of good ideas together here! As always, we'd love to know your thoughts on these topics, so let us know in the comments!

On this week's podcast, we chat about everything that went on in Weatherfield between the 11th and the 15th May (Episodes #11,854 - 11,858)
It’s been a long time coming, but Tim finally got that chat with Will this week, convincing the lad not only to admit that the rumours about him and Megan were true, but also to report her to the police - but is there enough evidence to put her away for good? Meanwhile, Sam’s hallucinations take an even darker turn when he thinks he overhears Nick and Toyah talking about him and receives a visit from a deeply sinister and uncanny Roy. Just what will this devil on his shoulder persuade him to do next? Also this week, Maggie drops a bombshell on Ben when she’s forced to confess what really happened the night his father died, Summer reveals she’s been offered a university place in America, and Daniel strikes up an unexpected friendship with Jodie.
In The Kabin segment, we're joined by John from Corriepedia, who chats about some remarkable discoveries made this week about Corrie's 1960 dry runs, and we finish off the show with more of your fabulous feedback.
