Conversation Street

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.

After taking a final bow on Classic Corrie just recently, Vernon Tomlin's back for an encore as we chat with actor Ian Reddington about his time on the cobbles. Ian opens up about working with Beverley Callard, chats about his own ideas about Vernon that were brought life on screen and of course, reminisces about recording the classic ballad, (Don't Fall Into) The Mason's Arms.

Theo's killer has finally been revealed! At the end of tonight's episode, we discovered just who was responsible for the Theo taking a tumble off the scaffolding - and it certainly wasn't the person we were expecting! In this special 20-minute episode of the podcast, we give our instant reactions to the reveal and ponder what it could mean next for everyone else involved...

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 15th and the 19th June (Episodes #11,878 - 11,882).

A pretty bangin' week of Corrie this week, we reckon, and we're not just talking about that gunshot in the garage on Tuesday's episode (which nobody nearby apparently heard?) Speaking of which, although the scenes of Carl holding Kevin and co up in the garage didn't quite have us on the edge of our seats the way Corrie probably wanted, we're definitely intrigued by the possibility of loose cannon Jodie now in possession of the weapon. Also this week, Debbie and the girls have a fun couple of episodes at the Costa del Weatherfield, but just why is Christina acting so suspicious? Speaking of suspicions, we loved Maria's growing concerns about Gary and Sarah. We're convinced that neither of them are responsible for Theo's death - but do they THINK they are, or perhaps they know (or at least believe they know) who the real killer is?

For this week’s bonus podcast, we return to the stories of those unfortunate Corrie residents who’ve found themselves behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit. Picking up where we left off last week, we revisit Gail’s imprisonment for the murder of her hapless husband, Yasmeen’s time on remand for trying to bump off Geoff and the time when Peter found himself sharing a cell with a certain hot-headed blast from the past... We also consider whether Coronation Street will ever be able to recreate the public frenzy sparked by Deirdre’s imprisonment: with that benchmark seemingly impossible to beat, which current character would stand the best chance of having fans metaphorically waving banners outside the studios demanding their release? And, perhaps more importantly, whose wrongful imprisonment story could still feel fresh and compelling in 2026? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
