Asha Alahan Character Profile

For this week's character profile, we chat about one of Corrie's brightest young stars of the past few years, Asha Alahan! Though Tanisha Gorey has been in the role of Asha since 2009, it wasn't until Iain Macleod took over as producer that show stepped up a gear with her character, and Tanisha got some much deserved praise for her work on stories such as Asha's skin lightening and sexting. In this profile, we talk about her story so far on the show, and what our hopes are for her now that she's reached adulthood.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 8th and the 12th April (Episodes #11,234 - 11,239).
All in all, a pretty decent week for Corrie this week, we thought, thanks to Roy Cropper being front and centre once again. Yes, we've all seen characters being wrongly imprisoned before, and yes, we know that he's not going to be spending his final days in a prison cell and that something's going to come along eventually to exonerate him, but we're still very much enjoying the journey, as unwise and naive as some of Roy's decisions may have been of late! Same with the Institute story too - all this talk of reality coding is utterly bonkers, but we're so intrigued as to where it's leading for Leanne, Nick and Toyah (just please no secret affair for the latter two, Corrie!). The bits with Liam and Dylan didn't necessarily spark that much excitement, and the less said about the lack of stability behind the scenes at the Rovers the better, but on the whole, this week's given us a lot to chat about!
After the Street Talk segment, we're off to The Kabin, where there's yet another rumour fuelled article about the so-called crisis at Corrie to contend with, plus, for a bit of lighter news, we check out where Corrie related folks have ended up in the Radio Times' list of Top 100 most influential people in TV. We finish off the show with more of your feedback.

Corrie Tour in 2024 and More!
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
We recently took a trip up to Manchester again to take a look at what was new for 2024 at the Coronation Street Experience. As well as that, we enjoyed a night out at the Palace Theatre seeing See Cleaver star as Mother Superior in Sister Act, caught up with some of the cast members outside the Corrie studios, visited some old filming locations including what has become of the old set at Quay Street and even travelled to Belfast to meet up with Michael Condron, who played Griff, on his home turf!
Also available as a video on YouTube, featuring tonnes of photos and footage of our trip! https://youtu.be/EjRl4wWPSDM

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 1st and the 3rd April (Episodes #11,228 - 11,233). We've been away on a little break this week, which has meant our recording routine has been just as out of whack as Corrie's own broadcasting schedule, so sorry for the later (and shorter) release of this episode - hopefully normal service will resume on both counts next week!
As for the happenings on the cobbles this week, the main topic of discussion was the cat fighting between Daisy and Bethany - or at least it would have been if the mysteriously expanding Rovers kitchen wasn't hogging all the attention! By the end of the week, the pub was supposedly under Carla's control. As for what that will look like and how she thinks she's going to recoup her missing £250k from a place that's barely managing to turn a profit is anyone's guess, but we do our best to theorise! This week also saw a return to the bullying story, as Maria's overprotectiveness of Liam starts to spiral into paranoia. Will Dylan do the right thing in court next week and say his bit to get Mason sent down? We're not sure it's over for him yet... Meanwhile, Tracy joins Tommy on a flit to Spain after flip-flopping over whether or not to get back with Steve, the continued harassment of Roy leads him to confine himself to his flat, and Brian saves the day for Paul.

On our Easter edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 25th and the 29th March (Episodes #11,222 - 11,227).
No wonder DS Swain didn't make an appearance in this week's Corrie - the poor woman must have been drowning in paperwork what with all the criminal activity going on. First off, we had Damon donning a balaclava for a raid on a security van (what a noble fellow that he didn't want to kill the driver - Sarah's got a good'un there..!); then on Friday we saw someone break into the Rovers and threaten Glenda with a baseball bat, snatching the night's takings. If you needed proof that crime levels in Weatherfield are soaring, look no further! Also this week, Paul gets some bad news from his speech and language therapist, Joseph secures a place at Oakhill, and Summer bogs off to Boston.
Up next on the podcast, we have The Kabin, where we react to the news that Iain Macleod's successor has finally been revealed, and we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

Christine Hardman Character Profile
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
She may not have the name recognition as the likes of Annie Walker, Ena Sharples or Elsie Tanner, but for us, Christine Hardman is just as deserving of your attention as some of the more famous Corrie originals. First appearing in Episode 2 and staying on the show until mid-1963, Christine wasn't with with us long, but she still managed to get some memorable and actually quite dark stories under her belt in that time, including the famous scene when she was talked down off the factory roof by a young Ken Barlow. If she's an old favourite of yours too or maybe a character you don't really know much about, hopefully this will be an episode to enjoy!

In this week's podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 18th and the 22nd March (Episodes #11,216 - 11,221).
This was another week where Roy's story got a heck of a lot of screen time, and that's certainly something we won't be complaining about as David Neilson continues to knock out of the park with his performance as the wrongly accused cafe owner. It doesn't feel like the reveal of where Lauren actually is is coming any time soon, but we're happy to be steeped in the mystery of it for now! Also this week, we've got the long-awaited return of the Paul story, and as his voice starts to deteriorate, we ponder whether Billy was right to keep it from him - and also whether now's the right time for Summer to be going to Boston! There's also a return to the cobbles for Violet, a delve into Cassie's past and another appearance from the mysterious Rowan - all in all, a pretty good week, we thought!
With the tabloids rumour mill churning out stories about the 'chaos at Corrie' that's been caused by ITV's inability to find someone to replace Iain Macleod as the show's next producer, we share our thoughts on the situation in The Kabin, then finish off the show with more of your feedback.

What's Happened To Lauren Bolton?
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
For this week's bonus podcast, we delve into the mystery that's currently got Weatherfield's tongues wagging - what's happened to Lauren? There've been so many clues drip fed to us about her disappearance and the possible identity of her presumed kidnappers (or murderers?), so we thought we'd get them all together in one place and see if it helps us get any closer to figuring out who the guilty party is. Who knows - maybe we'll even remind you of a few hints the show runners have dropped that you've forgotten about! And if you've got any other theories, do write in and let us know!

Saturday Mar 16, 2024
On our latest episode of the podcast, we discuss the goings on in Weatherfield between the 11th and the 15th March (Episodes #11,210 - 11,215).
This week, the lion's share of the screen time went to the 'Where's Lauren?' storyline - though this very quickly turned into 'Who Killed Lauren?', at least in DS Swain's eyes, when a police search of the precinct flat finds some compelling evidence that a violent, bloody confrontation has taken place there. We don't seriously think that prime suspects Roy and Daniel have actually got anything to hide here (and nor, we think, are we supposed to), but that didn't stop the whole affair leaving us on the edge of our seats, especially after some brilliant scenes in the interview room! Meanwhile, a new story for Leanne gets underway when she finds herself charmed by the enigmatic leader of Simon's so-called self-help group, who's giving off some seriously culty vibes. If Nirab and the Etheric Foundation don't get at least a shout out as this story progresses, we riot! Also this week, Stu considers letting Eliza go to Germany with Dom, Mason gets charged after his fingerprints are found on the knife, and Gemma objects to Linda's offer to pay for Joseph to go to Oakhill.
In the Kabin, we celebrate Ryan Thomas' win on Dancing On Ice and find out what Colson Smith's been up to in the Big Brother House this week, then finish off the show with a bit of listener feedback.

Vicky Myers Interview
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
She's no stranger to the interview room at Weatherfield Police Station, but now it's time for Vicky Myers to answer some of our questions! For this week's bonus podcast, we chat to the actress behind fan favourite character DS Swain, who Corrie have recently announced has been made a full-time cast member. Vicky shares her hopes for Swain now that we're going to be learning more about her character, reveals some anecdotes about her favourite Swain moments so far, and tells us which Corrie villain of the past she wishes she'd had the chance to put in handcuffs!
