Conversation Street Episode 685

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 16th and the 20th June (Episodes #11,597 - 11,602)

This week saw Glenda putting on a drag night at the Rovers - but the real drag was most definitely Theo, who Todd seems to be besotted with despite him having more red flags than the Swiss embassy. Meanwhile, the truth about Debbie's condition comes out on Friday and she does a runner - does the fact that she doesn't turns up on the Victoria Gardens bench by the end of the episode mean we're in for a longer term missing person story? Also this week, Lou locks lips with Gary, Aadi plans a Summer party and Dee-Dee and James clash over her plans for a religious upbringing for Laila.

Up next on the podcast is The Kabin, where we share our thoughts on the reports that Jack Carroll has quietly left the show, and we finish things off with a bumper feedback session.

Conversation Street Episode #684

On our latest episode of the podcast, we natter about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 9th and the 13th June (Episodes #11,591 - 11,596)

This week, the street residents gather to pay their respects to Craig, but with Kit going AWOL before the memorial begins, it's down to Lisa deliver the speech. Meanwhile, Betsy makes a discovery about the circumstances surrounding her other mum's death that sets her on a bit of detective work of her own... It was a big week for Lou this week too as she struggles to ingratiate herself to the neighbours - with Maria in particular proving to be a tough nut to crack. Also this week, the grand unveiling of the new look Number 8 (including the welcome return of Vin Diesel the weasel!), Brody has a seizure and Millie confesses she's up the duff - but is it all just a ruse to draw Theo back home?

Not a whole lot of Corrie news this week, so we give The Kabin a miss, so we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 683

On our latest podcast, we chat about all the action on the Street between the 2nd and the 6th June 2025 (Episodes #11,585 - 11,590).

After 25 years on the cobbles, we say a fond farewell to Eileen Grimshaw this week, who, in typical Corrie fashion, jets off to the other side of the world on bit of a whim. And saying goodbye to his mum isn't the only thing on Todd's mind either Millie's unexpected arrival on their doorstep gets Theo's head in a bit of a spin. Also this week, Tim's in Sally's bad books again after he arranges a secret meeting to investigate fostering, Abi gets very close to giving into temptation and Dylan's released from the STC - and he's got a bone to pick with Brody!

Up next on the podcast it's the Kabin, and we reflect on Corrie's poor showing at the Soap Awards a week on from the ceremony, and we finish off the episode with another bumper crop of listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 682

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 26th and the 30th May (Episodes #11,579 - 11,584)

This week, the residents of Weatherfield are still reeling from the death of Craig Tinker, and whilst the likes of Lisa and Kit are feeling guilty for the part they played in last week's events, Mick's defiantly pleading not guilty - and DC Green decides to dish out some old fashioned justice behind bars... Also this week, the friends and family of Julie gather to celebrate her life, and are paid a visit by a face from the past! Meanwhile, Carl spots an opportunity to make a bit of cash on the side, Carla plays nursemaid and Brody's out for revenge.

There was very little in the way of Corrie news this week, but we did get an awful lot of emails about last week's episodes, so we skip the Kabin in favour of a bumper feedback section!

Conversation Street Episode #681

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the last week and a bit of Coronation Street, covering the 16th to the 23rd May (Episodes #11,571 - 11,578)

It actually worked out quite well that we didn’t get to watch Corrie’s big flashback episode until this week – sharing our thoughts on it now makes for a nice lead-in to everything that’s happening in the present day. We ended up having some pretty different takes on the episodes too – from whether the flashbacks were even necessary to how Craig’s death was handled. But one thing we did agree on – and sorry if this sounds like a bit of a cliché – is that this felt like one of the furthest departures from ‘proper Corrie’ we’ve ever seen, with its intense focus on police action and a main cast made up mostly of relatively new characters. There’s a lot to unpack this week, and we hope you enjoy the discussion (even if some of it does veer into a bit of a whinge!).

Up next on the podcast it's the news segment, where we check out who from Corrie has found themselves on the longest for the annual National Television Awards, and we round off the show with some more listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 680

Gemma's away this weekend, so we're coming at you early with Episode #680 of the podcast, which covers the goings on in Weatherfield between the 12th and the 14th May (Episodes #11,567 - 11,570)

We'll readily admit that we've not really found a whole lot of joy in watching Mick's scenes up to now, but that all changed this week with some very intriguing hints dropped about his past with Kit. And as for the fight on Wednesday's episodes - a triumphant return of Gary's inability to avoid getting seven bells kicked out of him whenever gets on someone's bad side! Highlight of this week though is surely a tie between Glenda's fabulous karaoke stylings and Debbie's drunken antics at the Bistro - both Corrie gold! 

Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin - and all change again at the top as John Whiston steps down from his role as Managing Director of Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North - and you'll never guess who's got himself another promotion... We round off the show with some more of your feedback, including some listeners' thoughts on last week's unexpected twist concerning the circumstances around Julie's death...

Corrie and Emmerdale Crossover Announced - What Do We Think?

This week, ITV officially announced a special, hour-long crossover between Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and we just couldn't wait to talk about it! We take a look at what's been teased so far about the episode and share our hopes and fears about how it will turn out. 

A Tribute To Dennis Tanner

In this week’s bonus episode, we pay tribute to Coronation Street legend Dennis Tanner, following the sad news of actor Philip Lowrie’s recent passing. We look back at Lowrie’s remarkable life and career, and reflect on the character he so memorably brought to life as part of Corrie’s original line-up in Episode 1. From his beginnings as the Street’s original bad boy to his record-breaking return after 43 years away, we revisit Dennis’s most iconic moments and discuss how he became one of our all-time favourite characters.
