Conversation Street – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On our latest edition of the podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 16th and the 20th June (Episodes #11,597 - 11,602)

This week saw Glenda putting on a drag night at the Rovers - but the real drag was most definitely Theo, who Todd seems to be besotted with despite him having more red flags than the Swiss embassy. Meanwhile, the truth about Debbie's condition comes out on Friday and she does a runner - does the fact that she doesn't turns up on the Victoria Gardens bench by the end of the episode mean we're in for a longer term missing person story? Also this week, Lou locks lips with Gary, Aadi plans a Summer party and Dee-Dee and James clash over her plans for a religious upbringing for Laila.

Up next on the podcast is The Kabin, where we share our thoughts on the reports that Jack Carroll has quietly left the show, and we finish things off with a bumper feedback session.

On our latest episode of the podcast, we natter about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 9th and the 13th June (Episodes #11,591 - 11,596)

This week, the street residents gather to pay their respects to Craig, but with Kit going AWOL before the memorial begins, it's down to Lisa deliver the speech. Meanwhile, Betsy makes a discovery about the circumstances surrounding her other mum's death that sets her on a bit of detective work of her own... It was a big week for Lou this week too as she struggles to ingratiate herself to the neighbours - with Maria in particular proving to be a tough nut to crack. Also this week, the grand unveiling of the new look Number 8 (including the welcome return of Vin Diesel the weasel!), Brody has a seizure and Millie confesses she's up the duff - but is it all just a ruse to draw Theo back home?

Not a whole lot of Corrie news this week, so we give The Kabin a miss, so we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 5th and the 9th May 2025 (Episodes #11,561 - 11,566)

A jolly May Day trip to the park takes a heartbreaking turn for Eileen this week when Julie sadly passes away. Though we've been critical in the past of Corrie bringing back this character just to kill her off, we have to admit that it's been an absolute joy seeing her on our screens again - however briefly. Pretty much everything surrounding the aftermath of her death gets a big thumbs down from us, though, from Brian jumping to the wild conclusion that Eileen bumped her off to George's farcical embalming fiasco on Friday. Also this week, Jenny bids farewell to  the Rovers (an even greater tragedy than Julie's death as far as we're concerned!), an intriguing past is teased between Mick and Kit, and James returns to the UK to collect Laila - but is Dee-Dee ready to let her go?

Next up, it's The Kabin, and we chat about how Paul's MND storyline has inspired one Corrie fan to take on an incredible challenge to raise money for charity over in Australia. We finish things off with more of your listener feedback.

We're back for the third round of Corrieliminator! This month, the 30 randomly selected characters from Corrie's past are fairly easy to whittle down to the Top 3, but how did we rank the rest of them? Quite a few names this month that we didn't really have strong opinions on one way or another, so it'd be interesting to know just how much our final ranking aligned with what you would say! As always, you have your chance to vote in the listener poll and pick three characters you want to go through to the listeners' Grand Finale - follow the link below to make your selection! https://forms.gle/qFcxu4EnCSRrzRCZ9

On this episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 18th and the 21st June (Episodes #11,291 - 11,296).

A real mixed bag of a week, we thought, with Wednesday's trip to Weatherfield definitely being the highlight thanks to its cosy, heartwarming scenes like movie night at No. 5 and what we're hoping is the beginning of a redemption arc for Cassie as she she bonds with Ken following his fall. Either side of that episode, though, there was one that made us angry (Toyah and Nick... No!!) and anther whose main story of Kevin and Stefan going head to head just didn't make that big of an impression on us. Still, at least we got a random reappearance of Sabrina, who looks set to be involved in dastardly Joel's plot in some way...

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we give our impressions of a new Corrie-themed tram that's going to be making its way around Manchester for the next 12 months, and we finish things off with more of your feedback.

Last Wednesday marked the first time that Iain MacLeod was not listed as Corrie's producer since he took over the reins from Kate Oates in late 2018. With the episodes going forward now bearing wife Verity's name, soon to be replaced by that of incoming producer Kate Brooks, Iain's time at the top on Corrie is finally at an end. Well, unless you count his promotion to Executive Producer, but that's another story... For this week's bonus podcast, we reflect on the five and a half years that Iain was in charge of steering the Good Ship Corrie, chatting about the highs and lows when it comes to stories, characters and general production. How will his time as producer be remembered? What are some hallmarks of the MacLeod era? What were his biggest hits and most disappointing misses? We discuss all this and more in this bumper of a bonus podcast!

On this week's podcast, we cover the episodes of Coronation Street shown on the 10th and the 12th June (Episodes #11,287 - 11,290).

Only a couple of Corries to chat about this week, and not too many big developments to discuss either, we thought, so a relatively short podcast to balance out the bumper eps from the past few weeks! We'd all seen it coming a mile off, but this week, Toyah and Nick finally kissed - was it just a one-off, or will this blossom into something bigger? We've certainly got our own views where that's concerned! Also this week, Summer's back from Boston, and she's not alone - but is Felix just a bit too much of a geek even for her? Meanwhile, Abi's pleased to hear that Corey's documentary has been taken down, Glenda and George are still at loggerheads (despite Debbie's best efforts...) and Ken has a bit of a tumble - but will he accept his family's support?

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we finally have a name and release month for Charlie Lawson's autobiography, and we finish things off with a bit of feedback.

This week, we run down the life story of Simon Barlow, picking up from where we left off when we last profiled him in Episode #70 of the podcast eleven years ago! Ah, what high hopes we had for the little cherub back then, as he was just about to enter his teenage years! In this episode, we chat about his biggest stories from the past decade, reflect on why a member of the Barlow clan was allowed to become so underused and ponder whether now was the right time for his exit from the show.

In our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 3rd and the 7th June 2024 (Episodes #11,281 - 11,286).

After last week's reveal that Joel was responsible for Lauren's disappearance, he was in full-on skulky villain mode this week - and of course, we were loving it! But with Dee-Dee accepting his marriage proposal on Wednesday, will she discover the truth about her new fiancé before he gets her up the aisle? Meanwhile, we said bye bye Si on Monday as the third member of the Barlow clan in six months headed off to the Med to start a new life - and Leanne has a VERY unusual way of coping with the grief of losing another another son! Also this week, things are hotting up between Glenda and Michael, Roy continues to distance himself from his friends, and Kevin and Abi discover just how much it would cost to suppress her A.I. videos online - does anyone want to club together and pay the same so that we never have to see that freaky Oli monstrosity again too...?

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we talk about Shelley King's recent autism diagnosis, the fab new Women of Weatherfield photoshoot and a bizarre story about Jimmi Harkishin getting into a spot of bother in a B&Q - but of course, the spoilery nature of Corrie's biggest news story of the week means there's also a meaty Kabin Extra segment at the end of the show too after we've read out some listener feedback!

In this episode, we chat to Corrie expert Mark Llewellin, who has just this week published his memoirs, entitled With Friends Like These. In the book, he shares stories from over the years about getting to know some of Corrie's biggest names, including Julie Goodyear, Jill Summers and Roy Barraclough, Mark's partner for over 25 years. He really is a fascinating guy, and here, he shares some of the brilliant anecdotes from the book, talking lovingly about many of his Weatherfield pals and sharing some of the many priceless trinkets and treasures from Coronation Street that he's been given over the years. If you're interested in picking up a copy of the book yourself, you can order it from Amazon UK here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D45HSSDL?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_DVN6QNTWXNRF1JEP375X
