Conversation Street

Conversation Street Episode #547

Episode #547 of Conversation Street is here, and this week, we chat about what went on in Weatherfield between the 31st October and the 4th November (Episodes #10783 - 10788).

The Halloween festivities in the first of this week's visits to the cobbles definitely helped lend an autumnal air to Coronation Street, but if you think that means the end of Summer, you'd be sadly mistaken - at least where the character is concerned, that is. Yes, Miss Spellman remained very much in the spotlight this week as she decided she'd rather have ten grand than a termination - but will she be able to keep her bulging belly a secret from Billy? Meanwhile, Max gets drawn into the shady world of far-right Halloween parties (kind of like normal ones but with more people dressed up as crusaders), Fiz and Tyrone discover who's been leaking their family secrets, and Sean makes a shocking discovery about Lawrence's past..

Up next on the podcast, it's time for The Kabin, where take a look at Sue Cleaver's motivations for signing up to this year's I'm A Celebrity. We round off the show with more of your listener feedback.

Charlotte Jordan Interview (Daisy Midgeley)

Daisy Midgley has been minxing it up on the Street for nearly two years now, causing friction between Jenny and Johnny and being the catalyst behind the break up of Ryan and Alya, before finally setting her sights on Daniel Osbourne. Here, actress Charlotte Jordan joins us to chat about what it's like to play a character whose main purpose at one time seemed to be to rub both viewers and fellow Street residents up the wrong way, whether she sees a future for Daisy and Daniel, and about the fun she has working alongside Sally Ann Matthews in the Rovers.

Conversation Street Episode #546

On out latest podcast, we chat about all things Corrie between the 24th and the 28th October (Episodes #10777 - 10782).

This week, Stephen continues to bumble from one disaster to another, desperately trying to cover his tracks after binning off Leo last month. At least with Gabrielle now heading back home (and surely we weren't the only ones surprised that she's made it out of this alive?), his nefarious dealings with Audrey's equity should be easier to keep a secret - but for how long? Also this week, things take an unexpected twist in the Spider story when it turns out that Griff's interests are a lot more sinister than anyone had expected. Meanwhile, Daniel and Daisy move into Number 1, Fiz gets a shock when she's asked to do an interview about John, and Eileen gets a whiff of heaven - and it smells like vanilla slice. 

For one reason or another, it was half two in the morning by the time we'd finished recording Street Talk, so we hope you'll forgive us for ending the podcast there this week - but do keep on sending in your feedback for a bumper segment next time!

Halloween Special: The Curse of Number 6

Turn out the lights and lock the doors, for we have a fearsome tale for you this week, dear listener - a tale of misery, mystery... and murder. Although some may say that all residents of Coronation Street have suffered in some form or another during their time on the cobbles, it is perhaps those who dwell under the roof of Number 6 whose lives have been most cursed. Is it just a coincidence, or are there more malevolent forces at work? Listen carefully to these tales of woe, and decide for yourself...

Conversation Street Episode 545

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 17th and the 21st October in the UK (Episodes #10771 - 10776)

This week's Street Talk starts off with something a bit different as we discuss a scene we saw filmed back in August starring Dee-Dee and the Platts that never ended up being broadcast. How's THAT for behind the scenes goss? After that, we return to our usual discussion of the week's episodes, and we're not exactly the biggest Summer and Aaron fans, but if you are, good news! This week, Weatherfield's drippiest couple are back on again after Summer discovers she's up the duff. Fortunately for us, we pretty much enjoyed everything else that went on this week, including the return of Harvey as Leanne visits him in jail, the continuation of the bonkers but brilliant adventures of Bernie and Fern, and the return of Stephen to our screens after a few weeks off. With Gabrielle demanding her money and Jenny and Teddy starting to worry about what's happened to Leo, surely it's only a matter of time before Stephen cracks and starts throwing bins around again...

Next up on the podcast, we head over to The Kabin to see how Corrie fared in this week's Inside Soap Awards and celebrate the news that ex-Corrie cast member (and friend of the podcast!) George Banks has landed himself an exciting new role in the West End.  After a bit of a bumper feedback section, we round off the podcast with a Kabin Extra, where we discuss some exciting news that broke this week about a storyline that's going to hit our screens in about a month's time.

James Bailey Character Profile

He was the first Bailey to make an appearance on the cobbles back in 2019, and now, just over three years later, he's become the first to leave. His time on the Street has seen him involved in stories that got viewers thinking about racism and homophobia, but was James ever anything more than just an 'issues' character?  Decide for yourself as we run down all his most memorable moments in this character profile.

Conversation Street Episode 544

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 10th and the 14th October (Episodes #10765 - 10770)

We've been speculating for months now about who framed Stu for Charlie's murder, and this week, we finally got to hear the full truth from Bridget, when she confesses to being the one who sent her to meet her maker. Or IS that the full story? We're still not so sure... Meanwhile, David takes extreme measures when he suspects it's Max who's been trolling Maria - but is someone trying to fit him up too? Also this week, Sally finds out about Tim and Aggie's illicit bench chats, Leanne panics when she receives a request to visit Harvey in prison, and Tracy cooks up a plan to get rid of Wendy.

There's plenty to chat about in The Kabin this week, including some great news for Paddy Bever, who picked up the Rising Star award at the NTAs. We round things off with more of your listener feedback.

Kelly Neelan Character Profile

This week's bonus podcast is a character profile of that naughty scallywag Kelly Neelan, who departed the show recently after some high drama atop a Manchester mill. Kelly may have only been in the show just over three years (and a main character for about half of that!) but she certainly managed to pack a lot into that time. In this episode, we run down her whole story, share our thoughts on her most memorable moments and what made her such a complex character, and ponder whether or not we've even seen the last of her on Corrie. 

Conversation Street Episode #543

With the latest batch of Coronation Street being over by Wednesday evening this week, we're coming at you early, with a podcast covering the episodes shown in the UK between the 3rd and the 5th October (Episodes #10759 - 10764)

This week saw a few more clues emerge in the story of Stu's wrongful imprisonment, and Alya's on the case - even when nobody actually wants her to be! Can she and Dee-Dee get to the bottom of who really killed Charlie? Let's hope someone does soon... Also this week, Summer goes wild with some weed, Ken and Wendy confess their feelings for each other, and it's bye bye Bailey as the first member of the clan bows out to start a new life as a football coach. We're sure he'll be just as missed as Leo.

Up next on the podcast, it's the Kabin, and as well as the news of which Corrie favourite will be strapping on the skates in the next series of Dancing on Ice, we give our first impressions of the soon to be released Corrie Puzzle Book! We round off the show with more of your listener feedback.

Millie Gibson Interview

For this week's bonus podcast, we're joined for a chat by the wonderful Millie Gibson, best known for playing reformed scallywag Kelly Neelan and who recently said ta-ra to the cobbles after four years in the role. We chat about her exit story, those intense rooftop scenes in her final episode, her relationship with the rest of the cast and much more!
