Speaking of which, Jason nearly catches Tony and Tracy in a compromising position on Monday's episodes, and Gail gets her hands on Callum's package, which turns out to be a bit less substantial than the one from Sally's fantasies... As there's little in the way of Corrie-related news at the moment, discussion in the Kabin turns to what, if anything, the show can learn from this week's Eastenders live anniversary episodes, then in the feedback section we hear some snowed-in Canadian listeners' thoughts on the latest Corrie happenings. The character profile segment is a catch-up on the Jenny Bradley story so far.
