Conversation Street

On this week's episode of the podcast, we chat about what happened in Corrie between the 25th and the 29th May (Episodes #11,864 - 11,868).

There's a new guy in town, and in keeping with seemingly all of Corrie's new additions to the cast recently, he's a bit of a git! Idris schmoozed his way into Weatherfield this week, and it didn't take long for Leanne to fall for his roguish charms - just how long will it take for her to find out he's not quite as 'chill' as he first appears? Also this week, Daniel loses control after Truthteller's trolling intensifies, Ben worries that Megan's left Will seriously damaged, and Tyrone's got a secret that could set Summer free... but will he risk his own arrest by revealing what he knows about the night Theo died? 

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we take a first look at the scheduling chaos in store for Corrie once the World Cup starts, and we round off the podcast with more of your feedback on the recent goings on in Weatherfield.

It’s time for another classic character profile - though this week, we’re tackling an entire family in one go, because let’s face it, most of them probably couldn’t sustain a whole episode on their own! Arriving on the cobbles in 1974, the Hopkins clan - henpecked husband Idris, long-suffering Vera and formidable matriarch Megan - only stuck around for six months, so what exactly went wrong, and did the show give up on them too soon? We discuss the family’s brief and, at time, chaotic stay in Weatherfield and the continuing adventures of daughter Tricia, who managed to outlast the rest of her relatives and carve out a few memorable stories of her own.

On the latest episode of Conversation Street, we chat about all the Corrie drama between the 18th and the 22nd May 2026 (Episodes #11,859 - 11,864).

This week's Corrie had a major focus on Summer, who'd been doing a pretty good job of flying under the radar since the wedding episode despite viewers knowing that she was one of the last people to see him alive. Thanks to a few pieces of compelling evidence, the police haul her in for questioning this week and by the end of Friday's episode she's being charged with murder - but just why is Tyrone keeping quiet about her evidence, and what exactly is Christina still hiding? Also this week, Jodie continues to play her manipulative game with Daniel, Maggie begins to worm her way back into the Rovers and Roy's Rolls has its not so grand reopening.

Up next, it's The Kabin, and we check out who has - and possibly more importantly this year! - has not been nominated for an NTA, and we round off the show with more of your listener feedback.

This week's bonus podcast is a listener question segment, where we mull over two more topics suggested by our lovely ducklings. First off, Lese wants to know about the characters we've done a bit of a U-turn on over the years. Is there anyone we used to love but have gone cold on over the years? What about characters we've grown to love? Turns out there are plenty! After that, we tackle a questions from Rebecca, who wants to know if there are any children from Corrie's past who we'd like to see return as an adult. What would they be like, and what would be the reason to bring them back? We reckon we get a couple of good ideas together here! As always, we'd love to know your thoughts on these topics, so let us know in the comments!

On this week's podcast, we chat about everything that went on in Weatherfield between the 11th and the 15th May (Episodes #11,854 - 11,858)

It’s been a long time coming, but Tim finally got that chat with Will this week, convincing the lad not only to admit that the rumours about him and Megan were true, but also to report her to the police - but is there enough evidence to put her away for good? Meanwhile, Sam’s hallucinations take an even darker turn when he thinks he overhears Nick and Toyah talking about him and receives a visit from a deeply sinister and uncanny Roy. Just what will this devil on his shoulder persuade him to do next? Also this week, Maggie drops a bombshell on Ben when she’s forced to confess what really happened the night his father died, Summer reveals she’s been offered a university place in America, and Daniel strikes up an unexpected friendship with Jodie.

In The Kabin segment, we're joined by John from Corriepedia, who chats about some remarkable discoveries made this week about Corrie's 1960 dry runs, and we finish off the show with more of your fabulous feedback.
