Conversation Street

In this week's podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 4th and the 8th May (Episodes #11,849 - 11,853).

The murder victim has finally revealed, and we can finally all stop speculating about who's going to croak - and move on to who actually dunnit. Corrie's already revealed their suspect lineup, and this week, we get to see how they act in the immediate aftermath of Theo's body being found. In the case of George, Todd and Christina, we can all agree that they very likely had nothing to do with it, and although there's definitely still something Gary's keeping quiet about, we can't imagine it was him either. There's also the question that none of the other characters are asking yet (since they don't know she was there) - what went down between Summer and Theo in the moments before he was bashed on the bonce, and why hasn't she told anyone she was in the flat with him? Despite all this, our prime suspect is still Miles - or at a push, his mum Danielle. Let's see how the coming weeks unfold and maybe our minds will be changed, eh?

Just a tiny Kabin segment this week as we get very excited about the news that Julie Hesmondhalgh will be taking part in the next series of Celebrity Traitors, and we round off the show by hearing about more of your thoughts and theories on Murder Week in the feedback section.

For this week’s bonus episode, we’re launching a brand new series where we take an in-depth look at the residents of a single home on the Street, sharing our thoughts on how they’re faring in the show right now. First up, we’re heading to the Rovers Return to talk all things Driscoll - Corrie’s newest family, who’ve been at the centre of the action since arriving last October. From Maggie’s secret connection to Jim McDonald to Will’s grooming storyline and Ben’s possible heart condition, they’ve certainly not been short of drama. Now that they’ve been around for six months, it feels like the perfect time to sit down and have a proper natter about how they’re settling in.

We’re back, just as promised, with the feedback edition of Episode #730 - and you certainly had plenty to say about Corrie’s dramatic Murder Week! From glowing praise to outright frustration, we’ve had a brilliant mix of reactions, along with some intriguing theories about what might happen next. And of course, we also chip in with a fair bit of extra commentary of our own along the way. A huge thank you to everyone who got in touch - the podcast genuinely wouldn’t be the same without you!

Our latest episode of the podcast covers Corrie's much hyped Murder Week, which ran between the 27th April and the 1st May (Episodes #11,844 - 11,848).

Well there we go, then! After months of speculation, it's finally been revealed that the body Betsy found after her mum's wedding belonged to none other than the scummy, scheming scaffolder himself, Theo! At last, we no longer have to keep the victim's identity a secret, and not only can we chat about what we think about it being him (and not Megan, as we'd previously been so certain about!), we can also share a few more details about what it was like watching snippets of this week's episodes at last month's press day. We absolutely loved Corrie this week, from the unexpected twists to the single thread episode format - and we didn't even mind the more filming look or soundtrack in places either! (Not only that, but Michael even has something that could be construed as complimentary about the fireworks on Tuesday's episode too!) An absolute banger of a week, and we had so much fun talking about it, the Street Talk segment itself managed to last nearly four hours.. 

Needless to say, we didn't really have the energy for anything else after this, especially as there was so much listener feedback to get through, but worry ye not - a feedback focused extra podcast will be recorded in the next couple of days, so do be sure to send in your thoughts!

In the second of our compilation interviews carried out on the Murder Week press day, we interview a slew of stars including the incredibly sweet Sydney Martin, off the wall James Cartwright and telly legend Pauline McLynn!

As with last week, these interviews are all available to listen to on our YouTube channel, and a number of them are quite visual in parts, so we'd definitely recommend that option if you're mulling over which one to go with. Sound quality is variable again, we're afraid, but we did have the help of a couple of hardworking listeners who did what they could to take the edge off the tinniness...

Wherever you listen, we hope you enjoy these!
