Conversation Street Episode 572

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie broadcast in the UK between the 17th and the 21st April 2023 (Episodes #10930 - 10935)

There were emotional scenes aplenty this week, with the removal of Ryan's dressings and his having to come to terms with his new appearance providing some really excellent telly - just how will he react when he eventually finds out that Daisy is masquerading as Crystal via text to try and keep his spirits up, though? Meanwhile, after months of very much being Eliza do-little, Stu's granddaughter finally gets herself a bit of screen time - and is there a bit of a spark between her and Sam? Hope's not going to be happy when she finds out! Also this week, Jackson and Faye kiss, Kirk walks out on Beth after finding out about her secret meetings with Marco, and despite his secret engagement to Elaine, Stephen definitely seems to be holding a torch for a certain flame-haired landlady...

In The Kabin, we get excited about the upcoming This Morning Coronation special that's being filmed on the cobbles, and we finish things off as always with more of your thoughts on last week's Corrie.

Conversation Street Episode 571

On our latest podcast, we chat about what went down in week spanning the 10th to the 14th April (Episodes #10924 - 10929), and we're not just talking about Sarah's knickers. Yes, that naughty little strumpet has dropped her drawers for Damon, and it didn't take much persuasion, did it? And with her also enjoying a late night bonkathon with Adam on Wednesday evening, could we be seeing a 'Who's The Daddy?' story on the horizon..? Meanwhile, Rufus is left swimming with the fishes after pushing Stephen too far - though we have a feeling the finger will be pointed squarely at Michael for this one! Also this week, Roy loses one bat-mad buddy but gains a new furry friend, Carla visits Ryan at the hospital and George is a money lender to Glenda.

In the Kabin segment of the podcast, we take a look at the longlist for the viewer voted categories in the British Soap Awards and with up Corrie's chances, and we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 570

On this podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie showing in the UK between the 3rd and the 7th April (Episodes #10918 - 10923).

This week, Paul is given the devastating news that his symptoms may be signs of motor neurone disease. That's right, it's time for another tragic Corrie illness storyline! We're sure Peter Ash will do an amazing job with it - and he certainly gave a heart wrenching performance this week - but is this kind of thing really what viewers are wanting to watch right now? Meanwhile, from one sad story to another, the news spreads that Amy is saying she was raped by Aaron. Very interesting to see which characters take which side here.. though we're definitely a bit surprised that some viewers are picking Team Aaron, too..! Also this week, an old friend of Glenda's arrives on the cobbles, Craig is worried about Faye and Jackson's developing friendship, and Damon claims he's turning over a new leaf - but do we believe him?

Up next it's time for The Kabin, where we rate Corrie's April Fool's prank for this year before rounding things off with more of your lovely listener feedback.

Summer Spellman Character Profile

For our bonus podcast this week, we take a look at the character of Oxford hopeful and serial fainter Summer Spellman. Now eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed this young lady appearing a fair bit on our screen over the past twelve months or so, but it's not always been like this! In fact, it wasn't so long ago that years could go by with Summer barely making an appearance on the cobbles... so what happened? In this episode, we take a look at the highs (cannabis brownies) and lows (face planting on Billy's carpet again) of Corrie's current tragedy magnet, and ponder what the future might have in store for her.

Conversation Street Episode 569

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 27th and the 31st March 2023 (Episodes #10912 - 10917).

Christina wasn't wrong when she said that wedding was cursed, was she? In a twist that frankly makes Mavis and Derek's double jilting look like nothing more than a minor hiccup, Justin returned to the cobbles on Monday night, intent on dousing Daisy in acid - but it's poor Ryan that ends up with a faceful of the stuff. Superb performances all round and a brilliant script from Ian Kershaw certainly made Monday's harrowing trip to Weatherfield one we won't be forgetting in a hurry! And to be honest, a lot of the rest of the week was similarly bleak too, especially the Amy storyline, as she opens up about the rape to her family and the police - who, in typical Weatherfield fashion, are able to do very little to keep Aaron of the streets. Meanwhile, Brian finds out he's 8% Italian (and 92% Buffoon?), Michael inadvertently throws a spanner in the works for Stephen at the factory, and Beth has another meet up with Marco - can she resist his charms? 

Kabin time next, and now that the acid attack has taken place, we're finally able to cover Princess Anne's trip to Corrie on behalf of The Acid Survivors Trust International, along with the news that we're obviously thrilled about that Helen Flanagan is to return to our screens in the next series of I'm A Celeb! We round off the show with some of your first reactions to this week's drama - plus a bit of a deep dive into regional variations of Chinny Reckon! - in the feedback section.

The Changing Sets Of The Rovers Return

In this episode, we take a look at the Rovers Return, and how the nation's most iconic pub has changed over the years. From the wobbly wooden frontage of the 60s to the double upstairs windowed modern incarnation, the Rovers has come a long way in the past 60 years, inside and out. The bar, the back room, the cellar… even the toilets! 

Conversation Street Episode 568

On our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 20th and the 24th March (Episodes #10906 - 10911).

All in all, we thought this was a great week on Corrie, with very little in the way of filler or stories that didn't hold our interest. From the hilarious contrast between Daniel's stag and Daisy's hen-do to the sizzling chemistry between Sarah and Damon, we were pretty much glued to our screens all week. But of course, it was Evelyn saying her last goodbye to loyal hound Cerberus that really got us in the feels - losing a beloved pet is an experience so many of us have been though, and Maureen Lipman's performance was pitched perfectly. Also this week, Aaron moves in with Abi, Paul gets some worrying medical news, and Stephen's killer hole punch returns!

Up next on the podcast, it's the Kabin, where we carefully make our way through the minefield of spoilers that Corrie and other media sources been trumpeting this week to give you a few bits of other news, including Corrie's BAFTA nomination snub and a request for a cameo on the cobbles from a very unexpected source! We then finish off the podcast with more of your fantastic feedback.

Eve Elliott Character Profile

In this week's bonus podcast, we chat about the character of Eve Elliott, second wife of beloved butcher Fred, who ruled the roost at the Rovers for a short period in early 2002 before being unveiled as a bigamist. Definitely not one of Corrie's most memorable characters, but after just having rewatched her entire tenure on the ITV3 repeats, Michael's found a newfound appreciation of Eve, so we thought it was time to give her some credit and dedicate an episode just to her!

Conversation Street Episode 567

On our latest podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 13th and the 17th March (Episodes #10900 - 10905).

This week, Daisy goads Justin into getting rough with her within Craig's line of sight - at last, enough evidence for him to get arrested! We don't think it's time for Daisy to breathe a sigh of relief quite yet, though... Meanwhile, Stephen's campaign of making Carla think her psychosis has returned finally pays off, and by the end of the week, there's a new Lord of the Underworld. What will he do with his new position of power? Only time will tell, but we definitely reckon Rufus should be watching his back... Also this week, smiley Miley bursts onto our screens and Faye's torn about how close she should get to her, Beth's meet-up with Marco makes us think she's a lot more suited to him than Kirk, and Damon's back on the scene to settle an unresolved score with Nick..

Next up in the podcast it's The Kabin, and Gemma's unsurprisingly excited to hear about Simon Gregson's recent appearance on a ghost hunting show (though alas! We don't have access to the service that's showing it!) and then we round things off with more of your lovely feedback.
