Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode 731

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 being found. In the case of George, Todd and Christina, we can all agree that they very likely had nothing to do with it, and although there's definitely still something Gary's keeping quiet about, we can't imagine it was him either. There's also the question that none of the other characters are asking yet (since they don't know she was there) - what went down between Summer and Theo in the moments before he was bashed on the bonce, and why hasn't she told anyone she was in the flat with him? Despite all this, our prime suspect is still Miles - or at a push, his mum Danielle. Let's see how the coming weeks unfold and maybe our minds will be changed, eh?

Just a tiny Kabin segment this week as we get very excited about the news that Julie Hesmondhalgh will be taking part in the next series of Celebrity Traitors, and we round off the show by hearing about more of your thoughts and theories on Murder Week in the feedback section.

Resident Review: The Rovers Return

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 connection to Jim McDonald to Will’s grooming storyline and Ben’s possible heart condition, they’ve certainly not been short of drama. Now that they’ve been around for six months, it feels like the perfect time to sit down and have a proper natter about how they’re settling in.

Murder Week Feedback

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 thank you to everyone who got in touch - the podcast genuinely wouldn’t be the same without you!

Conversation Street Episode 730

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 victim's identity a secret, and not only can we chat about what we think about it being him (and not Megan, as we'd previously been so certain about!), we can also share a few more details about what it was like watching snippets of this week's episodes at last month's press day. We absolutely loved Corrie this week, from the unexpected twists to the single thread episode format - and we didn't even mind the more filming look or soundtrack in places either! (Not only that, but Michael even has something that could be construed as complimentary about the fireworks on Tuesday's episode too!) An absolute banger of a week, and we had so much fun talking about it, the Street Talk segment itself managed to last nearly four hours.. 

Needless to say, we didn't really have the energy for anything else after this, especially as there was so much listener feedback to get through, but worry ye not - a feedback focused extra podcast will be recorded in the next couple of days, so do be sure to send in your thoughts! 

Press Day Interviews - Sydney Martin, James Cartwright, Julia Goulding & Olivia Frances Brown, Beth Nixon and Pauline McGlynn

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 option if you're mulling over which one to go with. Sound quality is variable again, we're afraid, but we did have the help of a couple of hardworking listeners who did what they could to take the edge off the tinniness...

Wherever you listen, we hope you enjoy these!

Conversation Street Episode 729

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 about who meets their maker, but with a couple of new suspects emerging this week - along with even more motives - there’s still plenty to theorise about. As for the wedding, this was our second viewing after being lucky enough to catch a sneak preview at the Corrie press day, and our opinions on the episode did actually change on a repeat viewing - for the better, we might add! It's a jam packed Street Talk this week, and we can't wait to find out what happens next!

In The Kabin, we find out how the Corrie alumni fared in the I'm A Celebrity final and find out what new additions have been made to the Coronation Street Experience exhibit this weekend,  then we finish things off with more of your lovely feedback.

Press Day Interviews - Gareth Pierce, Sue Devaney and Vinta Morgan

On our recent press day at Coronation Street, we sat down with a bunch of cast members for a natter about recent stories. This podcast is a collection of three of the interviews: Gareth Pierce (Todd Grimshaw), Sue Devaney (Debbie Webster) and Vinta Morgan (Ronnie Bailey). 

All three interviews are also available to view on YouTube, so head on over to our channel if you want the full experience!

Conversation Street Episode 728

On this week's podcast, we take a look at what went on in Weatherfield between the 10th and the 17th April 2026 (Episodes #11,832 - 11,837)

Although on the whole we felt like this was another good week Corrie, it still demonstrated to us the very highs and very lows of what the show can deliver nowadays. On the one hand, you have an embarrassing 'fire' at Roy's Rolls that was achieved with not even a flicker of a flame and just a load of very CGI-looking smoke; on the other, you have Wednesday's exemplary single thread episode that followed Todd and his friends as he finally broke free of Theo's control and  went to the police after another terrible beating. Props to everyone involved there, and we really do hope that the smiling Todd we enjoyed at the end of the week is the one we'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming weeks and months - he deserves it! Also this week, Carl discovers another potential source of cash, Jodie puts her stolen warrant card to use and Ben continues to be at loggerheads with Maggie.

In the Kabin, we take a look abut how some ex-Corrie cast have been getting on in I'm A Celeb, and we round off the show with a bumper crop of your fantastic feedback.

Behind The Scenes: Swarla Wedding and Murder Mystery Press Day!

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited behind the scenes at Coronation Street for a press day, where as well as being able to view a sneak preview of some very special upcoming episodes, we had the chance to chat with a bunch of cast members and take a look around Underworld and Debbie's flat! But that wasn't all that made this trip to Manchester special: we also got to take a picture with Barbara Knox at a prestigious local event, met with CBBC star and mega Corrie fan Hacker T Dog and went on the Coronation Street Experience on a bunch of lovely puppers! On this special episode of the podcast, we chat about our experience - and you can check out the YouTube version, which is overlaid with a tonne of photos and footage from the weekend right here: https://youtu.be/Lst5Z1LMvC8

Conversation Street Episode 727

We're up in Manchester again at the moment with a couple of busy days ahead of us, so we've had to record early this week, covering the episodes of running from Sunday 5th to Thursday 9th April (Episodes #11,828 - 11,832).

There’s a huge Easter bombshell for Steve and Ben this week as Maggie drops the news that they’re half-brothers. Both men are left reeling, but it’s Ben who’s hit hardest, immediately fearing what it could mean for his own health - has he inherited his newly discovered da’s condition? In fact, medical drama is everywhere you look this week (though, refreshingly for Corrie, not a hospital scene in sight!). Sam appears to be in the grip of a serious mental health crisis whilst Debbie undergoes an MRI scan that confirms her dementia is worsening. Elsewhere, klepto Jodie adds yet another item to her growing stash, Tim decides it’s time to confront Tricia, and Theo walks in on Todd and Sarah together at the flat - but what fallout lies ahead for poor Todd?

Another slow news week this week, but still plenty of feedback, so we round off the episode with another rummage through the virtual mailbag!
