Conversation Street Episode 137

On our latest show, we talk about the episodes of Coronation Street broadcast in the UK between the 16th and the 20th February. This week, bad penny Jenny Bradley makes a long-overdue return to our screens. It seems like there are still some Weatherfield residents that can hold a twenty-two year grudge, but Kevin's certainly forgiven her - in fact, the pair are all over each other by Friday! 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.
