Conversation Street

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 massi...

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...

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 surp...

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 genera...

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 rea...

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 ga...

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-hea...

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 happen...

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 hav...

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 b...

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 l...

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...

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 d...

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 e...

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 question...

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?...

This week’s bonus episode of the podcast is a character profile of someone who’s definitely up there as one of our favourite characters of the 2020s: Sam Blakeman. Ever since he first rocked up in his newfound dad Nick’s life six years ago, we’ve loved the precocious young scamp’s quirky personality, passion for science and astronomy and knack for making even the most hardened of Weatherfield crim...

In this week's podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 4th and the 8th May (Episodes #11,849 - 11,853). The murder victim has finally revealed, and we can finally all stop speculating about who's going to croak - and move on to who actually dunnit. Corrie's already revealed their suspect lineup, and this week, we get to see how they act in the immediate aftermath of Theo's body b...

For this week’s bonus episode, we’re launching a brand new series where we take an in-depth look at the residents of a single home on the Street, sharing our thoughts on how they’re faring in the show right now. First up, we’re heading to the Rovers Return to talk all things Driscoll - Corrie’s newest family, who’ve been at the centre of the action since arriving last October. From Maggie’s secret...

We’re back, just as promised, with the feedback edition of Episode #730 - and you certainly had plenty to say about Corrie’s dramatic Murder Week! From glowing praise to outright frustration, we’ve had a brilliant mix of reactions, along with some intriguing theories about what might happen next. And of course, we also chip in with a fair bit of extra commentary of our own along the way. A huge th...

Our latest episode of the podcast covers Corrie's much hyped Murder Week, which ran between the 27th April and the 1st May (Episodes #11,844 - 11,848). Well there we go, then! After months of speculation, it's finally been revealed that the body Betsy found after her mum's wedding belonged to none other than the scummy, scheming scaffolder himself, Theo! At last, we no longer have to keep the vict...

In the second of our compilation interviews carried out on the Murder Week press day, we interview a slew of stars including the incredibly sweet Sydney Martin, off the wall James Cartwright and telly legend Pauline McLynn! As with last week, these interviews are all available to listen to on our YouTube channel, and a number of them are quite visual in parts, so we'd definitely recommend that opt...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 19th and the 23rd April (Episodes #11,839 - 11,843) The date every Corrie fan has been waiting for over the past couple of months has finally arrived - and whether you were tuning in for marriage or murder, anticipation was high ahead of Thursday’s trip to Weatherfield. Of course, viewers remain just as much in the dark...
