On our latest podcast, we chat about what's been going on in Weatherfield over the Christmas weekend, covering the episodes shown between the 23rd and the 26th December (Episodes #10829 - 10834). Corrie may have played it a bit safe this Christmas - there certainly weren't any major exits, shocking twists or, dare we say it, cars driving over cliffs into the sea in Weatherfield this year - but there was definitely some heartwarming stuff if you were in the mood for a bit of romance and yuletide ...
Dec 27, 2022•3 hr 52 min•Ep 555•Transcript available on Metacast Christmas is nearly here, and along with it comes our somewhat erratic recording schedule, so this week's podcast just covers the episodes of Corrie shown between the 19th and the 21st December (Episodes #10825 - 10828). After making his mysterious debut during last Friday's trip to Weatherfield, Jacob's father Damon is fully revealed this week, and with him comes a surprising revelation about Jacob's relationship with Harvey! And that's not the only twist Corrie had in store for us either, as G...
Dec 22, 2022•2 hr 23 min•Ep 554•Transcript available on Metacast On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 12th and the 16th December (Episodes #10819 - 10824). We may have been pretty vocal about our dislike of the Summer storyline in recent weeks, but credit where credit's due, we actually found it to be the most exciting it's ever been this week thanks to the double whammy of Billy finding out about Summer's baby selling plans and Mike's switching from creepily obsessed to downright sinister after discovering a...

Dec 14, 2022•1 hr 14 min•Ep 553•Transcript available on Metacast On our latest episode of the podcast, we have a good old natter about what went on in Weatherfield between the 7th and the 9th December (Episodes #10813 - 10818). This week's Corrie saw Maria and Alya take on Griff, who's left with a bit of a bruised ego and a bloodied nose to match. With Griff now threatening to knock his campaign against the Muslim community of Weatherfield up a notch, has the time finally come for Spider to take action against him? Meanwhile, Elaine is falling hook, line and ...
Dec 08, 2022•3 hr 56 min•Ep 552•Transcript available on Metacast For someone who's often thought of being a bit of a fuddy duddy, Ken Barlow has actually managed to attract the attentions of a remarkable number of women during his time on the Street! In this week's podcast, we take a look at all the ladies who've turned Ken's head and taken him to bed, from the more obvious ones such as Deirdre and first wife Val to some quite surprising characters including a certain red haired newsagent..! For part of the episode, we're also joined by Elle Mulvaney, who cur...
Dec 02, 2022•2 hr 56 min•Ep 551•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Nov 30, 2022•3 hr 49 min•Ep 551•Transcript available on Metacast 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!
Nov 24, 2022•2 hr 42 min•Ep 550•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Nov 23, 2022•3 hr 4 min•Ep 550•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Nov 19, 2022•3 hr 1 min•Ep 549•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Nov 15, 2022•1 hr 15 min•Ep 549•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Nov 12, 2022•3 hr•Ep 548•Transcript available on Metacast 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!
Nov 10, 2022•1 hr 13 min•Ep 548•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Nov 05, 2022•3 hr 56 min•Ep 547•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 31, 2022•33 min•Ep 547•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 29, 2022•3 hr 44 min•Ep 546•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 27, 2022•26 min•Ep 546•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 22, 2022•3 hr 10 min•Ep 545•Transcript available on Metacast 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.
Oct 18, 2022•1 hr 7 min•Ep 545•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 15, 2022•3 hr 3 min•Ep 544•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 11, 2022•1 hr 14 min•Ep 544•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Oct 06, 2022•2 hr 14 min•Ep 543•Transcript available on Metacast 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!
Oct 03, 2022•32 min•Ep 543•Transcript available on Metacast 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,...
Oct 01, 2022•3 hr 52 min•Ep 542•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Sep 28, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Ep 542•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Sep 24, 2022•3 hr 36 min•Ep 541•Transcript available on Metacast 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!
Sep 22, 2022•33 min•Ep 541•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Sep 19, 2022•2 hr 23 min•Ep 540•Transcript available on Metacast 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...
Sep 17, 2022•36 min•Ep 540•Transcript available on Metacast 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! - ...
