It’s time once again to rummage around in our virtual listener mailbag and pull out a couple of cracking questions for a good old natter. First up: how would we breathe new life into Victoria Street? It’s been seven years since the extended set burst onto our screens with great fanfare, and while stalwarts like Speed Daal have gone from strength to strength, others - Trim Up North, we’re looking at you - have disappeared without a trace. So, if we were in the producer’s chair (with unlimited budget and space, of course!), how would we zhush it all up and make Victoria Street the place to be again. Then, just in time for spooky season, another listener wants to know which Corrie characters we’d choose to help us survive a horror movie scenario. Whether it’s ghosts, zombies or vampires on the loose, no monster will stand a chance against the dream teams we assemble - especially with resident horror aficionado Gemma leading the recruitment drive!

Conversation Street Episode 702
In our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 13th and the 17th October (Episodes #11,693 - 11,698).
In what turned out to be a rather mixed week on the cobbles, some storylines failed to hit the mark while others had us completely gripped – most notably the escalating game of cat and mouse between Theo and Todd. We were stunned when Theo brazenly admitted to Todd that he’d been unfaithful, blaming Todd’s supposed closeness with Billy, and we loved seeing Todd finally stand up for himself – especially with his not-so-subtle flaunting of his ex during the Rovers’ Mr and Mrs contest. However, as we all know, this abusive relationship is far from its conclusion... Elsewhere on the Street, we saw poor Tyrone struggling to adjust to life in a wheelchair amidst constant bickering from his family, while Asha’s return from hospital showed she is clearly still suffering too. Meanwhile, Becky wasted no time in making herself at home at Number 6 while Carla was away, Carl pushed Abi to take Kevin to the cleaners in their divorce, and Hope found herself the target of some malicious text messages – but who could be behind them?

Access All Areas! Behind The Scenes At The Corrie Press Day
Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited to the press day at Coronation Street, where we got a sneak preview of an upcoming episode, sat in on an interview with producer Kate Brooks and had an access all areas tour of the set, where we investigated every nook and cranny of the main outdoor area (including having a look at what was behind closed doors!) and the main studios themselves, where we got a close up look at sets including the Platt house, the police station and the Rovers Return. In this episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience (don't worry - no big spoilers about upcoming scenes!) and on the YouTube version, share tonnes of photos and footage of the day. https://youtu.be/eJByctS5zjU

Conversation Street Episode 701
On this episode, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 6th and the 10th October (Episodes #11,687 - 11,692).
A brand new story kicked off this week with Tim at the centre, as he bumped into a familiar face from the past. But when Brian discovers just how close the pair once were, and how young Tim was at the time, he’s left questioning some uncomfortable truths about their relationship. Elsewhere, Ronnie’s birthday celebrations take a dramatic turn when the truth about Abi and Carl’s affair comes out, leaving the Webster family in tatters. Also this week, Theo continues his manipulation of Todd Asha's found unconscious with an empty bottle of pills, and George and Christina go out on their first date.
Not a lot of news this week (plus we're absolutely knackered when recording after a busy day behind the scenes at Corrie - more on that very soon!) so we give The Kabin a swerve and round the show off with a bit of feedback.

An A-Z Of Jenny
For this week’s bonus podcast, we’re bidding a fond farewell to one of our all-time favourite Corrie characters with a two-and-a-half-hour Jenny-fest! As we’d already wrapped up her story quite neatly in the character profile episode we released at the start of 2025, we decided to follow the same format we used for last year’s Gail departure and put together an A–Z of all things Jenny. We chat about our favourite moments, reminisce over stories Sally Ann Matthews has shared with us over the years, and revisit Jenny’s many romantic adventures - the highs, the lows, and the endlessly memeable moments that make her a character we’ll never forget.
Step onto the cobbles with Conversation Street, the podcast that dives deep into everything Coronation Street. Whether it’s explosive storylines, character drama, or behind-the-scenes insights, we’ve got it covered.
Each week, we bring fresh analysis, passionate debates, and plenty of laughs as we explore the latest episodes, revisit iconic moments, and chat about Corrie’s history. With exclusive interviews and insider tidbits, this is the ultimate podcast for anyone who can’t get enough of Weatherfield.
If you eat, sleep, and breathe Corrie, Conversation Street is your perfect companion!
