Conversation Street

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 9th and the 14th August (Episodes #11,918 - #11,922)

There's been a murder! And a suddenly existing relative is involved! This week, Corrie meshes together two ideas that they're really quite fond of recently, which ultimately results in Tim and Sally getting a new foster child to look after - the question is, is she being completely honest about the circumstances surrounding her mother's death? Meanwhile, Sarah splits with Kit in an attempt to protect his career, but he's not willing to let her go without a fight! Also this week, Idris plays dirty to get his hands on Speed Daal, the Bailey boys rally around Ronnie, and opportunity knocks for Nina.

It's been another very quiet week for news, so we give The Kabin a swerve again, but there's no shortage of feedback, with plenty of thoughts on the Dylan and Betsy story to share!

For this week’s bonus podcast, we take a look back on Cassie Plummer’s three years on the cobbles, chronicling her dalliances with drugs, family fall-outs and snuggles and snogs with Steve McDonald. We ponder whether Corrie did the right thing rewriting Tyrone’s family history to bring the Plummers into the show, and consider whether leaving Cassie’s fate shrouded in mystery was the right way to bring her time on the cobbles to a close. Love Cassie or loathe her, it’s impossible to deny the charisma Claire Sweeney brought to the role, and we had a lot of fun revisiting some of her most memorable moments in this discussion. Enjoy!

On our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 3rd and the 6th August 2026 (Episodes #11,914 - #11,917).

What’s that? You thought that just because there were only four episodes of Corrie this week, this would be a short podcast? Au contraire! With the stroke storyline taking centre stage once more and Dylan finding himself on the receiving end of an attack from Lauren, you’d better believe we’ve got plenty to say about where this story is heading! Has he really done enough to show he’s sorry for what he did to Betsy? Is Lisa’s unrestrained anger towards him justified? And will anyone actually listen to what Betsy wants? There’s an awful lot to unpick here! Not only that, but this week also saw Cassie’s mysterious disappearance from Weatherfield - is she dead, or has she simply been Andy Carvered? Elsewhere, we met Tim’s suddenly existing cousin, Kit issued Gary with an ultimatum and Debbie got to thinking about how she wants to go out when the time comes...

No news this week, but as always, there's plenty of feedback to pick through to round off the episode!

This week, we're joined by the fabulous Claire Sweeney, the actress behind Corrie's Cassie Plummer. We chat to Claire about her three years in the role, what it's like to be part of the clan at Number 9, which cast member makes her laugh the most, and her thoughts on the fan reaction to the controversial storyline where Cassie drugged national treasure Ken Barlow!

On our latest edition of the podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street between the 24th and the 31st July (Episodes #11,907 - #11,913).

Seven episodes of Corrie to catch up on this week thanks to our impromptu trip to France, but we somehow managed to squeeze them into roughly the same amount of podcasting time as usual - perhaps because this batch wasn’t quite so controversial! Jodie’s been up to her old tricks again, leaving us scratching our heads over where on earth she procured a fake gun, what exactly she’s doing posing as Shona online and, perhaps the biggest question of all, how on earth she’s still living under the Platts’ roof after everything she’s done. Meanwhile, Cassie’s huge revelation that Ross paid her for sex when she was just 15 receives a bizarrely muted reaction from her nearest and dearest, so she takes revenge into her own hands - with unintended consequences for Tracy! Also this week, Debbie swears off the booze after failing to recognise Tim, Nina accuses Sienna of pinching her tips and Idris becomes the latest in a strangely ever-growing line of Corrie characters to reveal that they aren’t actually the family member everyone thought they were. The big question here, though, is: does anyone really care?

Exciting news for Corrie fans in The Kabin this week as The Coronation Street Experience reveals  it'll be taking guests into the actual studios to visit the Rovers Return set this month, and we finish off the podcast with more of your fantastic feedback.
