Conversation Street

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 about the miscarriage. Also strong this week were the more serious scenes given to the usually comedic Daisy - we're not predicting this will develop into another full-blown cancer story, so we were able to sit back and appreciate the cracking performances from Charlotte Jordan and Rob Mallard as Daniel realises that history may be repeating itself in the worst way possible for him... Also this week, it's curtain-up for Ken's play, secret wedding preparations for Tyrone and a new job for Simon - as viewers everywhere as

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 sinker for Stephen's charms and he looks set to get his hands on a big wad of her cash - but will he ending up taking her life as well as her money? Also this week, Hope holds a séance to try and get in touch with John, Eileen gets about as fed up as us with Steve and Tim's jacket bickering, and Summer continues to make bad decision after bad decision about her deal with Esther and Mike. Oxford reeeeally didn't miss out on much there, did they? Up next on the podcast, it's time for The Kabin! Of course, there was a mas

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 currently plays the youngest member of the Barlow clan, to find out how much she knows about Amy's randy granddad's romantic history in a game of 'Snogged, Married or Avoided?'

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 a predicament once more after suffering a miscarriage. Will she tell Esther and Mike or just continue to accept their cash in the hope that they might forget what they're actually paying her for? Also this week, Steve returns from Spain, Ken looks set to enter a bit of a love triangle, and Laurence returns with some unfinished business between him and Sean... Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we celebrate Corrie's recent wins in the RTS North West Awards and find out what some of the cast got up to when they

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 face to face with Harvey to give him a good grilling, will he get the answers he's looking for? Also this week, Griff enlists Spider to protest Maria's community centre takeover, Summer plans to go on the run to keep her pregnancy under wraps (and we heartily approve!) and an old flames barges her way back into Ken's life. It's only been a few days since our last podcast, but we've still got a couple of news items to discuss in The Kabin, including Sue Cleaver's exit from the jungle and Charlie Lawson's comments that

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 week. With Max seemingly in denial about just what sort of people he's getting involved with, Roy's epic takedown of Griff at his community centre speech and Spider's continuing lies to Toyah about his double life, there was certainly a lot to talk about there! Also this week, Debbie plans to sell the Bistro, Stu and Yasmeen finally admit their feelings for one another, and Bernie's somewhat silly, but in our opinion very entertaining, doppelgänger story reaches its epic Fern-ale. Next up on the podcast, it's The Kabin,

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 news that the next Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place here in the UK next year, we pondered which characters from Coronation Street would make the best hosts - and who should be delivering that sarcastic commentary as the ceremony unfolds!

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 The Kabin, we take a look at how Sue Cleaver's been doing in her first week in the jungle and find out what the Corrie set tour has in store for its Christmas festivities. We round off the show with more of your listener feedback, including a great selection of your unpopular Corrie opinions! Street Talk - 00:12:54 The Kabin - 02:26:32 Feedback - 02:42:06

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 week as she decided she'd rather have ten grand than a termination - but will she be able to keep her bulging belly a secret from Billy? Meanwhile, Max gets drawn into the shady world of far-right Halloween parties (kind of like normal ones but with more people dressed up as crusaders), Fiz and Tyrone discover who's been leaking their family secrets, and Sean makes a shocking discovery about Lawrence's past.. Up next on the podcast, it's time for The Kabin, where take a look at Sue Cleaver's motivations for signing up to

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 she has working alongside Sally Ann Matthews in the Rovers.

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 this week, things take an unexpected twist in the Spider story when it turns out that Griff's interests are a lot more sinister than anyone had expected. Meanwhile, Daniel and Daisy move into Number 1, Fiz gets a shock when she's asked to do an interview about John, and Eileen gets a whiff of heaven - and it smells like vanilla slice.  For one reason or another, it was half two in the morning by the time we'd finished recording Street Talk, so we hope you'll forgive us for ending the podcast there this week - but do keep

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 yourself...

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, but if you are, good news! This week, Weatherfield's drippiest couple are back on again after Summer discovers she's up the duff. Fortunately for us, we pretty much enjoyed everything else that went on this week, including the return of Harvey as Leanne visits him in jail, the continuation of the bonkers but brilliant adventures of Bernie and Fern, and the return of Stephen to our screens after a few weeks off. With Gabrielle demanding her money and Jenny and Teddy starting to worry about what's happened to Leo, sure

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 is someone trying to fit him up too? Also this week, Sally finds out about Tim and Aggie's illicit bench chats, Leanne panics when she receives a request to visit Harvey in prison, and Tracy cooks up a plan to get rid of Wendy. There's plenty to chat about in The Kabin this week, including some great news for Paddy Bever, who picked up the Rising Star award at the NTAs. We round things off with more of your listener feedback. Street Talk - 00:11:46 The Kabin - 02:13:04 Feedback - 02:37:45

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 even seen the last of her on Corrie. 

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, Summer goes wild with some weed, Ken and Wendy confess their feelings for each other, and it's bye bye Bailey as the first member of the clan bows out to start a new life as a football coach. We're sure he'll be just as missed as Leo. Up next on the podcast, it's the Kabin, and as well as the news of which Corrie favourite will be strapping on the skates in the next series of Dancing on Ice, we give our first impressions of the soon to be released Corrie Puzzle Book!
