Conversation Street Episode 621

On our Easter edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 25th and the 29th March (Episodes #11,222 - 11,227). No wonder DS Swain didn't make an appearance in this week's Corrie - the poor woman must have been drowning in paperwork what with all the criminal activity going on. First off, we had Damon donning a balaclava for a raid on a security van (what a noble fellow that he didn't want to kill the driver - Sarah's got a good'un there..!); then on Friday we saw someone break into the Rovers and threaten Glenda with a baseball bat, snatching the night's takings. If you needed proof that crime levels in Weatherfield are soaring, look no further! Also this week, Paul gets some bad news from his speech and language therapist, Joseph secures a place at Oakhill, and Summer bogs off to Boston. Up next on the podcast, we have The Kabin, where we react to the news that Iain Macleod's successor has finally been revealed, and we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

Christine Hardman Character Profile

She may not have the name recognition as the likes of Annie Walker, Ena Sharples or Elsie Tanner, but for us, Christine Hardman is just as deserving of your attention as some of the more famous Corrie originals. First appearing in Episode 2 and staying on the show until mid-1963, Christine wasn't with with us long, but she still managed to get some memorable and actually quite dark stories under her belt in that time, including the famous scene when she was talked down off the factory roof by a young Ken Barlow. If she's an old favourite of yours too or maybe a character you don't really know much about, hopefully this will be an episode to enjoy!

Conversation Street Episode 620

In this week's podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 18th and the 22nd March (Episodes #11,216 - 11,221). This was another week where Roy's story got a heck of a lot of screen time, and that's certainly something we won't be complaining about as David Neilson continues to knock out of the park with  his performance as the wrongly accused cafe owner. It doesn't feel like the reveal of where Lauren actually is is coming any time soon, but we're happy to be steeped in the mystery of it for now! Also this week, we've got the long-awaited return of the Paul story, and as his voice starts to deteriorate, we ponder whether Billy was right to keep it from him - and also whether now's the right time for Summer to be going to Boston! There's also a return to the cobbles for Violet, a delve into Cassie's past and another appearance from the mysterious Rowan - all in all, a pretty good week, we thought! With the tabloids rumour mill churning out stories about the 'chaos at Corrie' that's been caused by ITV's inability to find someone to replace Iain Macleod as the show's next producer, we share our thoughts on the situation in The Kabin, then finish off the show with more of your feedback.

What's Happened To Lauren Bolton?

For this week's bonus podcast, we delve into the mystery that's currently got Weatherfield's tongues wagging - what's happened to Lauren? There've been so many clues drip fed to us about her disappearance and the possible identity of her presumed kidnappers (or murderers?), so we thought we'd get them all together in one place and see if it helps us get any closer to figuring out who the guilty party is. Who knows - maybe we'll even remind you of a few hints the show runners have dropped that you've forgotten about! And if you've got any other theories, do write in and let us know!

Conversation Street Episode 619

On our latest episode of the podcast, we discuss the goings on in Weatherfield between the 11th and the 15th March (Episodes #11,210 - 11,215). This week, the lion's share of the screen time went to the 'Where's Lauren?' storyline - though this very quickly turned into 'Who Killed Lauren?', at least in DS Swain's eyes, when a police search of the precinct flat finds some compelling evidence that a violent, bloody confrontation has taken place there. We don't seriously think that prime suspects Roy and Daniel have actually got anything to hide here (and nor, we think, are we supposed to), but that didn't stop the whole affair leaving us on the edge of our seats, especially after some brilliant scenes in the interview room! Meanwhile, a new story for Leanne gets underway when she finds herself charmed by the enigmatic leader of Simon's so-called self-help group, who's giving off some seriously culty vibes. If Nirab and the Etheric Foundation don't get at least a shout out as this story progresses, we riot! Also this week, Stu considers letting Eliza go to Germany with Dom, Mason gets charged after his fingerprints are found on the knife, and Gemma objects to Linda's offer to pay for Joseph to go to Oakhill. In the Kabin, we celebrate Ryan Thomas' win on Dancing On Ice and find out what Colson Smith's been up to in the Big Brother House this week, then finish off the show with a bit of listener feedback.

Vicky Myers Interview

She's no stranger to the interview room at Weatherfield Police Station, but now it's time for Vicky Myers to answer some of our questions! For this week's bonus podcast, we chat to the actress behind fan favourite character DS Swain, who Corrie have recently announced has been made a full-time cast member. Vicky shares her hopes for Swain now that we're going to be learning more about her character, reveals some anecdotes about her favourite Swain moments so far, and tells us which Corrie villain of the past she wishes she'd had the chance to put in handcuffs!

Conversation Street Episode 618

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 4th and the 8th March (Episodes #11204 - 11209). The bullying story continued in earnest this week, with Dylan facing the consequences of his involvement with Mason - who, meanwhile, looks set to walk away from the whole debacle scot free! Meanwhile, Corrie's efforts to ingratiate Bobby to the viewers hits a bit of a snag when they have him accusing everyone's favourite train obsessed cafe owner of being behind Lauren's mysterious disappearance. At least it looks like the rest of the Street is rallying behind Roy, but for how long? Also this week, Adam has yet another brush with death after he buts the brakes on Harvey's appeal, Fiz is back from Norwich and is looking for a promotion, and in the wake of his break up from Tracy, Steve is facd with one of the biggest decisions of his life... City or United? The big Corrie news this week is that DS Swain is being promoted to a series regular. We consider what that could mean for the character, and throw out a few theories based on the tidbits we've been teased with. We round off the episode with more of your fantastic feedback.

A Tribute To Fred Elliott

For this week’s bonus podcast, we take a butcher’s at the life and loves of one of Corrie’s most beloved characters, Fred Elliott. He may have started off as a lecherous black pudding cheat, but twelve years later, he left the show a legend. In this two-hour discussion of the character’s highs and lows, we share our thoughts on our favourite Fred stories and why we consider him a modern Corrie icon.

Conversation Street Episode 617

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 26th February and the 1st March 2024 (Episodes #11198 - 11203). The truth is out about Tommy and Tracy's affair, and it was only a matter of time before Steve found out - though we must admit, we weren't admitting that part to come so soon! The trouble is, how are we supposed to care about it if the characters themselves don't even seem to? Meanwhile, Jenny and Daisy have a close call this week as Carla comes close to stumbling upon the truth about them using her stolen money to buy the Rovers - and that's not even the half of Daisy's problems this week thanks to the publication of a certain salacious magazine article. Also this week, Dee-Dee does her best to move on from Joel, Bobby raises his concerns about Lauren's disappearance to the police, and Adam hits a snag with Harvey's appeal - we just hope for his sake he's got plenty of free minutes with his phone contract, what with all those calls to the prison he's making! Quite a bit to go over in The Kabin this week, including a truly terrifying Coronation Street eBay listing and rumours that we're going to be seeing a certain Corrie redhead enter the Big Brother house next week. We also weigh in on the news that Hollyoaks is being cut to three episodes a week - no doubt it's terrible for everyone who's allegedly being made redundant, but could it lead to a better show, and would it work for Corrie? We round off the podcast with more of your feedback, including one reader's question about which recent episode of Corrie we'd show a first-time watcher.

Matt Milburn Interview

There's only one Tommy Orpington, and he's here on the podcast! This week, we were joined by actor Matt Milburn to talk about his time on the Street so far, from his early days as a guest character to his new story for 2024 which sees him come off the sidelines at last and onto the cobbles as a main player. We chat about what it's like to be involved in a steamy affair with Tracy Barlow, his lifelong love of Corrie and his brother Greg Wood, who we all know as villainous Rick Nolan!

Conversation Street Episode 616

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 19th and the 21st February (Episodes #11,194 - 11,197). Corrie's erratic scheduling continues this week with only two episodes to discuss this time, but what a great pair they were! With the scales finally falling from Sean's eyes this week after reading some of Dylan's cruel messages to Liam, we were treated to some fantastic performances from Antony Cotton, but how long will Mason continue to avoid the finger of suspicion? Meanwhile, Sally pieces together the truth about Tracy and Tommy's affair in some brilliantly written and performed scenes - surely it's just a matter of time before Steve finds out now? Also this week, Leanne and Nick discuss wedding plans, Bobby discovers that Lauren has done a disappearing act and Dee-Dee is devastated when she discovers Joel's secret - but could there be  more to come? The top news this week of course is the death of beloved Corrie icon John Savident - so much so, that we actually open the episode with a short tribute to him rather than waiting 'til The Kabin (which itself is actually quite low on big stories this week, but we still manage to find a few stories to discuss!) We round off the show with more of your fabulous feedback. Street Talk - 00:15:04 The Kabin - 02:01:11 Feedback - 02:08:53

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 12th and the 16th February 2024 (Episodes #11,186 - 11,193). It's been a long while coming, but Maria, Gary and Mrs Crawshaw finally wake up to Liam's bullying this week, and not before time either as the lad's thoughts are starting to go to some very dark places... Meanwhile, Bobby and Lauren are feeling the love on Valentine's Day, and although it felt like we were getting close, we're still in the dark about who her mystery caller could be - but that doesn't stop us from theorising! Also this week, Billy gives Paul a Valentine's to remember, Tracy's up for a rematch with Tommy O but he's not playing ball, and Nick and Leanne get engaged - though by the look of all that fervent squinting from Nick, we're not sure his heart's really in the game! In The Kabin, we celebrate Maureen Lipman's win at the TV Choice Awards, and after reading out a bit more listener feedback, we round off the show with a Kabin Extra, where we chat about this week's spoilery cast announcement.

Conversation Street Episode 614

Another interrupted schedule for Corrie has meant more podcast chaos this week, but we're here at least, chatting about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 5th and the 11th February (Episodes #11180 - 11185). Yeah, not exactly a vintage week that one, was it? With the majority of the main players this week coming from the pool of characters that we feel apathetic towards at best, it was going to need to do a lot to hold our attention, and sadly, it really did fall short. You had Steve being his usual pillocky self as he fawns over the guy who, unbeknownst to him, has been having it off with his Mrs; Simon getting smashed before crashing Leanne's car into a bollard; Sarah continuing to pursue her delusional dream of living happily ever after with Damon and Bethany using her well tuned investigative journalism skills to get the dirt on her neighbours for Chit Chat - is anyone going to break it to her that the soap mags already had the scoop on the catfishing story six months ago..? Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we commiserate Claire Sweeney's exit from Dancing On Ice (It's a fix! etc), and we round things off with more of your listener feedback.

Listener Questions

It's Listener Question time again! This time, we're chatting about two topics very dear to our hearts: Gladiators and Coronation Street beating EastEnders. Well, maybe not beating them per se, more like completely ripping them off in the hope that Corrie will get some of the buzz that the women of Walford got at the height of The Six storyline last year, as we try and pick half a dozen Corrie ladies who we'd want to put front and centre of the show in 2023 in their very own murder mystery plot. And as for the Gladiators part? Well that's just us having fun trying to come up with Gladiator names that we'd give our favourite Corrie characters if they were to don a spandex leotard for an evening and bash each other about with a pugil stick - or at least a roll of fabric from the factory. We reckon we actually came up with some good ideas for that one, but as always, we'd love to hear your own suggestions, so do write in and let us know if you have any!

Conversation Street Episode #613

Only two episodes of Corrie this week, so we're coming at you early! Today's podcast covers the goings on in Weatherfield between the 29th and the 31st January (Episodes #11176 - 11179). The much teased affair storyline between Tracy and ex-Weathy County player Tommy Orpington finally kicked off this week - and we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves not wanting to give it the red card! Same too with the Bailey story - we hadn't been too fussed with all the gambling stuff before Christmas, but the revelation on Monday night that Ed knowingly let the builder's yard burn down was a great twist, and we particularly enjoyed everything that Dee-Dee added to those scenes at Number 3 too. As for everything else this week - Bethany's secret investigations, Simon getting a job at the Bistro, Moses deciding to go to London - we weren't too fussed about it, but overall, it was a pretty solid week! In The Kabin, we chat about the new Corrie-endorsed campaign that's been running in the ad breaks this week to raise awareness of all the good work done by the MND Association, and we round off the show with more of your fabulous feedback.

Peter Barlow Character Profile Revisit

We last profiled Peter Barlow way back in Episode #40 of the podcast, and now here we are, eleven years later, to catch up with what he's been doing in the time since. We take a look at the moments that have shaped him as a character and reminisce on some of his most memorable stories, from his stint as Rovers landlord to his numerous brushes with death and, we're sorry to say, his recent departure. Let's just keep our fingers crossed he'll be setting sail back to Weatherfield at some point in the future, because we've got a feeling his story's not quite over yet!

Conversation Street Episode 612

On our latest episode, we chat about what went on in Weatherfield between the 22nd and the 24th January. Well, not just Weatherfield, actually, thanks to some lovely - but heartbreaking -  scenes shot out on location in Wednesday's episode as Bernie, Paul and Gemma take to the road in a camper van. Now that so many people seem to know about Paul's assisted dying plans, does that mean it's looking more likely that that's the way he's going to go..? Back on the Street, the arrival of bailiffs at the Baileys' sets off a chain of events that leaves Michael in grave danger, whilst a fight between Dylan and Liam leads to the latter being suspended from school.  Not a whole lot of news to discuss in this week's Kabin segment aside from a Dancing on Ice update and more details about the new Drama Queens series being revealed, and we finish things off with more of your listener feedback.

The Bobbins Awards 2023

We've had the Conversation Street Awards, the review of the year, and our predictions for 2024, but no January would be complete here on Conversation Street without the Bobbins Awards, a podcast where we take a light hearted look at everything that happened in the past twelve months that.. shall we say.. didn't quite hit the mark. From the forgettable (or just plain irritating!) new characters to story beats that left us scratching our heads or simply groaning in disbelief, you can't beat a bit of cathartic bobbins bashing to bring some closure to the end of the year. So sit back and enjoy us picking Corrie to pieces in a way that only true, nerdy fans can, in the Bobbins Awards 2023!

Conversation Street Episode 611

On this week's podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 15th and the 19th January (Episodes #11164 - 11169). Ever since Joseph's ailments were put down to Gemma's overactive imagination at the tail end of last year, we've been wondering what was actually causing him to be sick, and this week, we finally find out: Corrie's Wheel Of Misfortunes To Raise Awareness Of has landed on Lyme disease! Pen and paper out, everyone - Dr Gaddas will be giving you a test. Meanwhile, Adam takes the law into his own hands in an attempt to get Damon out of his and Sarah's life - but will he be able to engineer an early release for Harvey first? Also this week, Lauren dumps her mystery man, Tyrone heads off to Italy and Mason continues to make Liam's life hell. Not a whole lot of news to discuss in The Kabin this week, but the appearance on Amazon of an interactive novel set on Coronation Street in 1983 has certainly got us intrigued! We round off the show with more of your feedback, including hopefully some good news for the US Corrie watchers out there who haven't been getting any episodes on Hulu lately!

Corrie in 2024: Our Predictions, Pitches and Prayers

2023 is done and dusted, but what exactly does 2024 have in store for the residents of Weatherfield? In this week's bonus podcast, we try to find out exactly that, as we make our predictions for Corrie's next twelve months. We're doing things a little bit differently this year, as we spilt the discussion into three parts: first, we discuss what we're praying hard is going to happen on the cobbles; next, we give some quick predictions about what we think actually will happen; then finally we let our creative juices flow and pitch some storylines that we'd green light if we were in the producer's chair. And that chair has been empty since Iain Macleod's departure, as far as we know..!

Conversation Street Episode 610

In our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 9th and the 12th January (Episodes #11158 - 11163). This week's Corrie started strong but ended with a bit of a whimper, in our opinion. With Paul now having decided that rather than letting nature take its course, he wants to be able to end things Hayley Cropper style, his mission on Monday was to find people to give him a lend him a hand. Bringing Abi into a story for a bit more emotional weight is never a bad thing in our book, but the real high point of the week for was when Billy swore on the Bible that he'd help him out when the time came. Elsewhere this week, we had Cassie infiltrating Terry's house in the the puppy farm story, which the pair of us have got quite differing opinions of, but if there's one thing we could both agree on, it's that the public service announcement that was Friday's episode very much missed the mark if they were trying to get us to worry about whether Aadi would pull through. Check those carbon monoxide alarms, people!  Up next on the podcast, we spend a good deal of time chatting about the big news this week that Iain Macleod has been given the Executive Producer role we saw advertised back in September. We've seen a lot of fans unhappy with this announcement, but we try and look at it from both sides - and ponder who the as yet unannounced (or maybe undecided?) Producer will now be!

Stories, characters, overall direction of the show.. no stone is left unturned as we discuss how the past twelve months compared to previous years under Iain Macleod's tenure, what our favourite bits were and what we would have liked to have seen play out differently.

There's no Corrie on tonight, so if you're looking for something to fill that gap in your Corrie schedule, here's Episode #609 a bit early for you, where we chat about what went on between the 31st December and the 3rd January (Episodes #11145 - 11150). After a good few months out of action, the Rovers triumphantly reopened its doors in time for the New Year festivities this week, but with Daisy already trying to call the shots behind the bar, it's not going to be long before those fireworks being set off as the clock struck twelve won't be the only ones see at the Rovers... And speaking of rovers returning, the comebacks continue to come thick and fast this week, as two significant people in Sarah's life show up on the cobbles within 24 hours of each other: Bethany and Damon! Has the gangster gone good, and what was that secretive phone call of Bethany's about?  We share our thoughts!  There were also some more fantastic scenes in the MND story on Wednesday - not just the moment when Paul has his fall, but also the fun bits between him and David, too. Why did the writers have to wait this long to remember they used to be friends? Unsurprisingly for the New Year, there's not really a whole lot to cover in terms of news this week, so after our bumper Street Talk segment, we finish off the show with a bit more of your listener feedback.   There's no Corrie on tonight, so if you're looking for something to fill that gap in your Corrie schedule, here's Episode #609 a bit early for you, where we chat about what went on between the 31st December and the 3rd January (Episodes #11145 - 11150).

On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat Christmas on the cobbles, sharing our thoughts on what went on in Weatherfield between the 25th and the 29th December (Episodes #11,145 - 11,150). If you spent any amount of time online in places where Corrie is discussed over the past week, you'll have seen some quite lively debate about one or more of the following topics: Was the half hour trip to Weatherfield on the 25th just a bit boring, or was it a classic, old-school episode where we just get to enjoy seeing what our favourite characters are up to on Christmas morning? Did the Boxing Day two-hander provide a suitable exit to the legacy character of Peter, or did Carla insisting he hopped on a plane despite neither of them really wanting him to leave not really make any sense? And of course, is new chapter Bobby a breath of fresh air, or is he just plain annoying? Well, you can bet we've got our own opinions on all the three of those questions, plus a lot more this episode! The Kabin segment this week brings discussion of the Christmas and Boxing Day ratings for all three of the main soaps, plus good news for Team Corrie at the Big Soap Quiz and Get Britain Singing. Then, after a little bit of listener feedback, we delve into a few juicy press rumours about 2024 cast changes in a Kabin Extra segment.

In our latest podcast, we chat about the Corrie episodes shown in the UK between the 18th and the 22nd December (Episodes #11,139 - 11,144). It's the week before Christmas, and even though it doesn't necessarily feel like it's building up to anything especially explosive on the big day, Friday's trip to Weatherfield did at least get us invested in Ed's gambling story for the first time, and it's certainly going to be cringe inducing to watch him being the only one at No. 3 to open a gift on Monday morning surrounded by his loving family! Meanwhile, Jenny and Daisy resort to underhand measures to get their mitts on the Rovers, and we discuss our stance on their deception. Also this week, we share our thoughts about the stagnation of certain businesses on the street as it seems like things are going to be back to to status quo at the salon, and it looks like Peter's getting ready to set sail - but can Carla's mysterious Christmas gift get him to change his mind? A fairly short episode of the podcast this week, but you haven't got time to listen to us wittering on, have you? It's Christmas!

That was actually a pretty decent week this week, wasn't it? And who'd have thought that the Ryan, Daniel and Daisy story, which we've been somewhat cool on recently, would be the reason for its quality? Daniel has always been at his most watchable when he's let his pompous, entitled and manipulative side loose, and we certainly saw a lot of that this week as he led Daisy up the garden path knowing full well that he was well aware of her bedroom shenanigans with Ryan. There were definitely shades of angry 80s Ken in Rob Mallard's performance this week, and we loved it! Also this week, the comparably low stakes drama of Stephen's journal led to a surprise callback to a nearly 40 year old story for Gail, and the goings on at Number 9 led to more brilliant Evelyn moments. Even the Stu storyline had a few interesting twists in! Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, and one benefit of us releasing this episode late was that we don't have to wait a week to celebrate Ellie Leach's triumph on Strictly! We finish things off with more of your feedback. Street Talk - 00:16:55 The Kabin - 02:27:21 Feedback - 02:39:14

We Talk Doctor Who With Charlie De Melo

You thought you'd heard the last of him on this podcast, but nay! There's no way we were going to let Charlie de Melo make an appearance on one of our favourite non-Corrie shows without getting him on for a natter about it! So a bit of a different bonus episode this week, then - with a distinct lack of Corrie chat but an awful lot of Doctor Who, Michael and Charlie talk about his what it was like to play opposite Neil Patrick Harris and David Tennant in last week's 60th anniversary episode, The Giggle.

Conversation Street Episode 605

On this week's podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 4th and the 8th December (Episodes #11,127 - 11,132). Daniel's out for revenge this week when he discovers what's been going on between Ryan and Daisy. With Ryan potentially moving to Glasgow with Crystal, can Daniel bank on his love rival getting out of Daisy's life for good, or will he have to resort to more devious methods to keep them apart? Meanwhile, Bernie's sentenced to three months behind bars, and Gemma isn't happy! Meanwhile, Evelyn's on the warpath when she sees someone mistreating their dog, Isla confesses her feelings to Asha, and birthday girl Hope gets herself studded. The Christmas schedules are out, and in The Kabin, we check out when we can catch up with Corrie  over the festive period - and react to the news that we'll only be visiting Weatherfield for half an hour on the big day! We round off the podcast with more of your feedback. Street Talk - 00:22:41 The Kabin - 02:10:34 Feedback - 02:36:45
