    Conversation Street Episode 741

    On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the goings on in Corrie between the 13th and the 17th July (Episodes #11,898 - #11,902). Well this was quite the week to be a Corrie fan, wasn't it? If you're on social media, it will have been almost impossible to escape discussion of the shocking new story centred around Betsy and Dylan this week, which has already become one of Coronation Street's most controversial yet.  You won't be surprised to hear that sexual strangulation isn't exactly the sort of topic we were expecting to be discussing when we first started the podcast fourteen years ago, and it's certainly not something we're comfortable talking about either, but far be it from us to back down from a challenge - or sugarcoat our opinions either! Some of you will no doubt be nodding your heads along with what we say in this episode and others will totally disagree, but we hope it gives you something to think about at least! And Betsy's stroke wasn't the only massive twist this week either: we never expected Sarah's confession to Kit to come quite so soon - and the aftermath had us on the edge of our seats too... Don't trust him, Gary! All this plus a new man for Tracy, Chrissy's continuing shopping addiction and a return of the Winter-Brown money woes... It's a jam-packed Street Talk for sure! Up next on the show, we talk about rumours of a new Bill Roache documentary that's presumably being made to align with his upcoming 5000th episode, and of course, there's a whole bunch of your listener feedback - enjoy!

    Walk For Webster 2026 And Other Weatherfield Wanderings

    Recently, we made another trip up north to take part in the second Walk For Webster, a sponsored stroll between the old and new Corrie sets accompanied by a gaggle of listeners. In this special episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience, share stories about revisiting the Coronation Street exhibit and chat about visiting a handful of spots that the show has visited on location over the years, including the places where Julie Carp and Renee Roberts met their maker! Also available as a video on YouTube, including tonnes of photos and footage from the weekend. https://youtu.be/AIskO8uTjPg If you'd like to donate to the Walk For Webster fund, just head over to our JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/page/soapweek2026

    Conversation Street Episode 740

    On this week's Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 6th and the 10th July (Episodes #11,893 - #11,897). Just a short episode of the podcast this week - by our standards at least - as we're up in Manchester for the Walk For Webster this weekend, we've had a bit of a busy day and we're absolutely knackered! Fortunately, there wasn't too much in the way of massive story twists or revelations to keep us talking in today's episode, although we do delve relatively deeply into Christina's admission that she has a spending addiction - to be honest, we're just pleased she hasn't been up to anything irredeemably sneaky! Also this week, Abi discovers she's got a bit of   a mould issue at her flat that nearly has fatal consequences for Alfie, Will tries to adjust to life after Megan, and Tyrone comes face to face with his long-lost father!

    Resident Review: 5 Coronation Street - Is There More To The Winter-Browns Than Money Woes?

    It's Resident Review time again, and this week, we're moving down one house in the terrace and looking at Number 5 Coronation Street! Like Number 3, The Winter-Brown interior hasn't been seen on screen at all so far in 2026, but that hasn't stopped us from sharing our thoughts on the family - how they've fared in terms of storylines over the past few years and what direction we'd like to see them go in future. Are the quads nearly reaching the stage where they'll be able to be used more, and what about Joseph, who'd been very much absent recently but is actually only a little younger than Sam! And is it possible for Gemma and Chesney to have a story that isn't based on them not having any money? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

    Conversation Street Episode 739

    This episode of the podcast covers the action in Weatherfield between the 30th June and the 3rd July (Episodes #11,888 - 11,892). The lion's share of the screen time was taken up by the drama surrounding Megan's trial this week, so what was our verdict on how it went down? On the whole, it was pretty enjoyable, though we can't deny we would have preferred a bit more in the way of evidence and surprise twists - Will's initial testimony that there was no relationship between him and Megan was certainly a shock, but once that was over, we couldn't help but feel most of the rest of the trial played it a bit safe for our liking. Away from the courtroom, Sam's turning corner in his recovery, but will Nick and Leanne's actions threaten to derail it? Meanwhile, things are looking up on the romance front for Asha, Sarah and Jodie get into a stalemate situation, and Ruby and Hope are brewing a surprise for Tyrone. In The Kabin, we remember Lovely Gay Ted as news of actor Michael Byrne's death broke this week, and we take a look at Corrie's nominations in the Inside Soap Awards. That's followed by the feedback section, where we hear more of your thoughts on the identity of Theo's killer plus your initial reactions to Megan's trial. We round things off with a bit of a spoilery segment as we chat about this week's cast news. Street Talk - 00:17:05 The Kabin - 02:29:34 Feedback - 02:57:38 Kabin Extra - 03:32:43

    2026: Reflections On The Year So Far

    We’ve reached the halfway point of 2026, and you know what that means – it’s time for Coronation Street’s mid-year review! Corrie had some big promises to live up to going into the year, with a flash-forward murder mystery and, of course, its much-hyped crossover with Emmerdale. In this episode of the podcast, we ask whether the show has lived up to its own hype and whether both events have generated enough compelling storylines of their own. There've been some huge revelations in the form of Carl and Ben’s parentage, some bittersweet moments for Debbie, and the massively Marmite machinations of Evil Roy - not to mention the big scheduling shake-up at the start of the year. Basically, there’s a heck of a lot to cover in this episode, and we hope you enjoy listening!

    Conversation Street Episode 738

    In our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 22nd and the 25th June (Episodes #11,883 - 11,887) At last, Theo's killer has been revealed - and it's not at all who we expected! (Despite Corrie making it very clear over the past few weeks that Gary and Sarah were caught up in the murder somehow...) We've had a couple of days since recording our instant reaction podcast to mull over Monday's big episode and rewatch the scaffolding scene a few more times - and the big question is still whether or not it was self-defence... Also this week in Weatherfield, Megan has one last ditch attempt to persuade Will to go easy on her at next week's trial, Asha and Nina move in together, and Jodie's latest attempt to make David jealous backfires! Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we discuss the rumoured axing of the British Soap Awards and take a look at the Corrie fashion at the TRICs. That's followed by more of your feedback - including some conflicting views! - on this week's drama. Street Talk - 00:06:37 The Kabin - 02:37:11 Feedback - 03:00:21
