On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 28th and the 30th November (Episodes #10807 - 10812). Not the best week for us this week, unfortunately - it did feel somewhat like the storylines were either filler or spinning their wheels, and we're not just talking about Stephen's motorbike after that crash on Wednesday's episode! Of course, we did get a nice bit of development in the Summer story, as the eternally unfortunate young lady finds herself in a bit of ...

Ten years ago today, we ran a character profile on Fiz Stape on Episode #16 of the podcast. Well, it's been an explosive ten years for our little Fizbomb since, and in this week's bonus podcast, we take a look at how her story has progressed in the past decade, including her relationships with Tyrone and Phill, her struggle keeping Hope under control and the shock of coming face to face with John Stape's secret daughter, Jade!

Thanks to the World Cup messing with the telly schedules, this week's Coronation Street has all been uploaded to the ITV Hub early! We've binged all the episodes, and in this edition of the podcast, we chat about what'll be going down in Weatherfield between the 23rd and the the 27th November (Episodes #10801 - 10806). This week, Hope takes hero worshipping of her serial killer dad to the next level as she attempts to re-enact Charlotte Hoyle's murder by hammer at school. Meanwhile, as Sam comes...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 14th and the 18th November 2022 (Episodes #10795 - 10800) - well... we do as soon as we finish reeling from the news that Millie Gibson is going to be playing The Doctor's new companion in the new series of Doctor Who, anyway! Once we finally get onto the topic of the latest goings on in Weatherfield, we kick things off, of course, with the extremism story, which continued to have us gripped this w...

In this week's bonus podcast, we tackle two more questions from our inquisitive listeners. First up, we ponder what Corrie SHOULD do, what they should STOP doing, and what they should NEVER do - take note, Iain Macleod! (Of course, our lack of knowledge of anything when it comes to soap budgets and filming schedules means that many of our ideas are probably a little on the ambitious side, but that certainly didn't stop us listing our numerous suggestions for improvement!) After that, with the ne...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 7th and the 11th November (Episodes #10789 - 10794). This week, Fiz and Ty do their best to stop the John Stape book getting published, but when Tyrone slaps the author at an event at Chariot Square, has he ended up making things worse? Also this week, Amy and Summer fly the nest, Bernie thinks she's found a way to track down Fern when she bumps into her ex at a spa, and Lauren gets inside Max's head - and his bed! In...

For this week's bonus podcast, we chat about the character of Linda Baldwin, the notorious man-eater who certainly gave husband Mike a run for his money in the late 90s and early 00s. Linda's most famous for the controversial story that saw her pursuing the ageing factory boss whilst also bedding his young son Mark, but as we also discuss in the episode, actress Jacqueline Chadwick hit the headlines herself once or twice during her time on the show too!

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 we...

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 s...

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 th...

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 your...

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...

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.

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 i...

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 e...

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, Summe...

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!

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 26th and the 30th September 2022 (Episodes #10753 - 10758). We'd been looking forward to Monday's episode ever since we got the chance to go to the studios and see some scenes filmed back in August, and it certainly didn't disappoint! Having been stood mere metres away from actor Todd Boyce as he was dragging Leo's lifeless body across the cobbles of Brewery Lane, we knew that we were in for an exciting week,...

Back in August, we had the privilege of going behind the scenes of Coronation Street to see some scenes from recent episodes being filmed, including the goings on in Gary and Maria's flat following Kelly's departure and the moment when Stephen dragged poor Leo's body from the bin into his van. We actually recorded most of this podcast back in August, and it comes in two parts: first, something we recorded before we went into the studios, where we gave our predictions for what we would see based ...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 20th and the 23rd September (Episodes #10747 - 10752). Super Soap Week came a little earlier than usual to Weatherfield this year, and just how super was it? Well if you ask us, Corrie absolutely smashed it this time round, with all three main stories keeping us gripped all week. Top billing, of course, went to Kelly's exit story, which as well as featuring the surprise return of Rick Neelan from b...

For this week's bonus podcast, we're joined by our good pal Georgia Taylor to chat about all things Toyah in the wake of last week's gripping courtroom scenes. She may have been found not guilty by the jury, but does Georgia agree with the court's decision, and what effects might Imran's death have on the character going forwards? We chat about all this, the return of Spider and Georgia's reflections on her stint as Rovers landlady. Enjoy!

In our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie that were shown in the UK between the 14th and the 18th September 2022 (Episodes #10741 - 10746). It was a tough few days for our Toyah this week, with the grieving Widow Habeeb up in court for Imran's murder. Still, it could have been worse as it did at least appear to be one of the shortest court cases in Corrie history, due in part to the fact that there was clearly only extremely flimsy evidence pointing to the fact that she'd plott...

Earlier this year, after nineteen years away from Coronation Street, Spider Nugent web-slung his way back onto the cobbles as part of his first love Toyah's ongoing storyline. In our latest bonus podcast, we're joined by the actor behind the arachnid, Martin Hancock, who chats to us about returning to the Street after so long away, what's changed for Spider in the intervening years and the shocking revelations that, not only is he claiming to be married, but he's also working for The Man as an u...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 5th and the 12th September (Episodes #10735 - 10740). After last Friday's episodes were postponed because of everything going on in the news, we were in a bit of a quandary about whether to record at the weekend or not. Ultimately, though, we thought it'd be best to wait until the episode had aired as we knew that there was going to be a bit of a bombshell dropped about Spider - or should we say DC Nugent! - ...

Every year, we love organising The Conversation Street Awards to find out what you think's been the cream of the crop in the past twelve months' Corrie. For this week's bonus podcast, to mark a decade of the awards, we put every winner from each year head to head to find out who should be crowned ultimate victor of the past ten years. Which villain was the number one Wrong' Un? What was the most shocking moment that had us screaming out "By 'Eck!"? And which storyline should be crowned Ultimate ...

On our latest episode of the podcast, we discuss what happened in Coronation Street between the 29th August and the 2nd September (Episodes #10729 - 107340). This week, Stephen becomes increasingly desperate to find any source of income he can after Audrey announces she's drawn up a new will that doesn't feature him as a beneficiary. With his efforts to get funding for Sarah's Underworld venture off the ground hitting a dead end, he sets his sights on Jenny and the pub - will she fall for his ch...

This week's bonus podcast is a special listener questions show, where rather than weighing in on a couple of Coronation Street topics, we instead natter away for over two hours about the podcast itself. After putting out the call for questions about the past ten years of the podcast, we were inundated with queries from our curious listeners, and we wanted to make sure we responded to every single one! So whether you want to know about our recording rituals, favourite moments from the podcast's h...

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown the in the UK between the 22nd and the 26th August (Episodes #10723 - 10728) This week, Stu gets released from prison and is determined to prove his innocence, but can the combined powers of Alya, Zeedan and (eventually!) Yasmeen get to the bottom of what really happened 27 years ago? Well we have a theory if they need a bit of help with that one... Meanwhile, there's double trouble for Bernie when she meets her doppelg...

You may remember we were recording a teensy bit late last Friday night and didn't get round to reading all of your lovely feedback sent in to commemorate the podcast's tenth anniversary. As you can tell by the fact that this is nearly an hour and a half long, we don't think we'd have quite had the time or energy to have popped it at the end of Episode #536, so here it is, in its own special episode! It was honestly so lovely to hear all your kind comments about Conversation Street, the community...

When we headed up to Manchester for the tenth anniversary of the podcast with very little in terms of plans for the week, little did we know just how much Corrie related goodness we'd be packing into those seven days. From catching up with cast members to going behind the scenes to see some upcoming episodes being filmed, this was a truly unforgettable experience, which we're excited to share with you now. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this week happen! 0:06:22 Arrival 0:15:55 Mond...
