Conversation Street

On our latest podcast, we spill the beans on what we thought of the past week of Corrie, running from the 12th to the 16th July. There was plenty of pump action in this week's Corrie, as Todd resorts to desperate measures to keep Will from blabbing to Summer about the extent of his nefariousness when it came to bagging Billy. Meanwhile, after last Friday's drunken revelries, Ryan wakes up in Daisy...

Welcome to our bonus podcast for the week! We've decided to give it a go spacing out our main and bonus episodes after it seemed to go down well splitting them up during the Euros. Although we can't guarantee which day the bonus podcast will be out each week because of our own schedules, it's likely to be either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday for the time being, with the main Street Talk episode o...

For this week's bonus podcast, we thought we'd jump on the royal bandwagon following today's visit to the cobbles by the Queen. After chatting about what went on during her tour of the Street, we take a look back at previous times that Corrie has been graced by royalty, including when the Queen opened the set on Quay Street in 1982 and when Prince Charles showed up to shake Audrey's hand in the 40...

In our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street released on the ITV Hub on the 5th July, and set for broadcast on TV between the 5th and the 9th. This week was all about characters getting their claws into their man at all costs, with both Daisy and Todd resorting to devious means to get what they want. They're not the only ones with men issues either, as Izzy...

This week's bonus podcast is a character profile revisit of birthday girl Leanne Battersby, who we first profiled way back in Episode #20 of Conversation Street. Since then, she's faced drama upon drama, including suffering abuse from son Simon and of course, the tragedy of Oli's death last year. In this episode, we look back on everything Leanne's been up to since 2012, and chat about the up and...

On our latest podcast, we have a bit of a natter about the episodes of Corrie released on the ITV Hub on Monday 28th June, and set for broadcast on TV between the 29th June and the 2nd July. Alina and Tyrone have got a big secret this week, and it's only going to get bigger over the next nine months. Can they keep it quiet from everyone, and most importantly, Fiz? Meanwhile, James is on cloud 9 wh...

We've pretty much reached the halfway point of another year, and in this episode of the podcast, we take a look at the first six months of 2021 on Corrie and chat about how it's all going. With the end of 2020 marking the climax of the long-running coercive control story as well as the tragic but inevitable death of Oliver Battersby, we started the year excited to see what direction our favourite...

On our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Corrie released on the ITV Hub on Monday 21st June, and set for broadcast on TV between the 21st and the 25th. It's the week of the big trial, and Leanne is still adamant she's going to tell the truth about the hell Harvey's put her family through these past few months. Will she be able to hold her nerve in court? Meanwhile, Sean trie...

In this week's bonus podcast, we answer another pair of questions sent in by listeners. First off, Jon wants to know which characters from the 60s and 70s we think would fit right into modern Corrie.  Not an easy task, that one, but we think we found a few who'd slot right in without changing too much about their personality or style! Next up, a nice summery question from Navdeep, who challenges u...

On our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Corrie released on the ITV Hub on Monday 14th June, and set for broadcast on the telly between the 14th and the 20th. Like many of you, we've already binged this week's episodes online, so if you don't want things spoiled, you may want to wait until Sunday evening to find out our thoughts on the returning characters, the brushes with...

On this week's episode of the podcast, we prattle on about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 7th and the 11th June (Episodes #10344 - 10349). This week, romance is in the air for Dev and his unlikely new conquest, Bernie. We must say, despite some initial reservations about the prospect of the two of them getting together, we did quite enjoy them sneaking around on Wednesday, and Bernie's...

In this week's bonus podcast, we're living the life of Riley as we take a look at the story of one of Corrie's most beloved characters from days gone by, dithery newsagent Mavis. Whether you thought she was at her best selling penny chews in the Kabin with Rita or at the side of her beloved husband Derek, we can all agree that Mavis had a tonne of memorable moments during her time on the cobbles....

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 31st May and the 4th June (Episodes #10339 - 10343). So what went down on the cobbles this week, then? Well, Jenny for one, after an unexpected tasering courtesy of nasty Sharon, who used the opportunity to root around in Jenny's mobile to get some juicy evidence about her night romping with Ronnie. On a similar note, t...

On our latest episode of the podcast, we waffle on about what went down in Weatherfield between the 24th and the 28th May in the UK (Episodes #10333 - 10338). This week, both Nick and Leanne demonstrate a severe lack of understanding of the concept of a safe house when - independently of each other, no less - they sneak back to the Street in broad daylight in the wake of Sam's kidnapping. Satisfie...

With Faye and Harvey currently detained at her majesty's pleasure and Johnny freshly released, this week's bonus podcast focuses on the times when Corrie has gone behind bars.  For such a small community, Coronation Street has had a fair few of its residents banged up over the years - from the miscarriages of justice like Deirdre's time inside in 1998 to the well deserved sentences like Tracy's so...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd May (Episodes #10327 - 10332). Ooh, Michael was proper fewmin' at Corrie this week. Not since that time Dennis Tanner flounced off with Gloria Price has a scene made him as mad as he got when the powers that be decided to have Jenny roger the lodger on Monday, so if you like a good rant on...

Tanisha Gorey has become one of Corrie's rising young stars over the past few years, bringing the previously minor character of Asha Alahan right into the spotlight thanks to some fantastic performances in stories revolving around issues including skin lightening, sexting and now Seb's murder. In this week's bonus podcast, we chat to Tanisha about what it was like growing up on Coronation Street,...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 10th and the 15th May 2021 (Episodes #10321 - 10326). In the aftermath of the attack on Seb and Nina, we're pleased to say Corrie managed to keep up the high bar set by last week's shocking episodes. Although we thought the reasons for the police believing Corey over Kelly were a bit iffy, the bi...

For this week's bonus podcast, we're running a classic character profile on Tricia Armstrong. Actress Tracy Brabin has just this week been elected Mayor of West Yorkshire, so we thought we'd take the chance to chat about the character she played on Corrie in the mid-90s, having a look at how the struggles she went through on her three years on the show reflected many of the issues faced by single...

On this week's podcast, we talk about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 3rd and the 7th May (Episodes #10315 - 10320). What a week that was, eh? There'd been rumblings and rumours for a fair few months that something big was going to go down with the Street's younger residents, and this week saw Seb and Nina set upon by Corey and his mates in scenes that echoed the vicious attack...

For our bonus podcast this week, we do a character profile of Seb Franklin. Arriving on the Street back in 2016 as the scallywag boyfriend of Faye Windass, Seb soon took to the hearts of many a Corrie viewer after the reveal of his tough home life. A key player in the downfall of Pat Phelan, an initial suspect in the Underworld roof collapse and the hero who rescued Alina from slavery, Seb's had q...

On our latest podcast, we chat about what went down in Weatherfield between the 26th and the 30th April. This week, we discover the truth behind Sharon's return to the cobbles - will she be able to lead Harvey's cronies to Leanne? With Jenny on the case, we wouldn't be too sure, although to be fair, both Nick and Simon don't appear to be all that good at the whole 'no contact with the family' part...

For our bonus podcast this week, we tackle another pair of your listener questions. First up, we take a look into the old crystal ball and try to predict which current characters are still going to be major players in Corrie when the 80th anniversary rolls around. After that, we chat about which characters we're surprised haven't left the show yet.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 19th and the 23rd April (Episodes #10303 - 103308). After what's felt like a fairly long period of relatively 'meh' Coronation Street, we were both very pleased (and more than a little relieved) to get a set of episodes that we both thought were largely very strong this week. We'd been looking forward to Sharon...

After not being seen on the Street this side of the millennium, Sharon Bentley made a triumphant return to the cobbles this week, and in our bonus podcast, we do a character profile of this mischievous madam, running down everything she got up to during her original couple of stints on the show. Hopefully a handy guide for anyone who didn't catch her the first or the second times round!
