On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 26th and the 30th May (Episodes #11,579 - 11,584)
This week, the residents of Weatherfield are still reeling from the death of Craig Tinker, and whilst the likes of Lisa and Kit are feeling guilty for the part they played in last week's events, Mick's defiantly pleading not guilty - and DC Green decides to dish out some old fashioned justice behind bars... Also this week, the friends and family of Julie gather to celebrate her life, and are paid a visit by a face from the past! Meanwhile, Carl spots an opportunity to make a bit of cash on the side, Carla plays nursemaid and Brody's out for revenge.
There was very little in the way of Corrie news this week, but we did get an awful lot of emails about last week's episodes, so we skip the Kabin in favour of a bumper feedback section!

Conversation Street Episode #681
On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the last week and a bit of Coronation Street, covering the 16th to the 23rd May (Episodes #11,571 - 11,578)
It actually worked out quite well that we didn’t get to watch Corrie’s big flashback episode until this week – sharing our thoughts on it now makes for a nice lead-in to everything that’s happening in the present day. We ended up having some pretty different takes on the episodes too – from whether the flashbacks were even necessary to how Craig’s death was handled. But one thing we did agree on – and sorry if this sounds like a bit of a cliché – is that this felt like one of the furthest departures from ‘proper Corrie’ we’ve ever seen, with its intense focus on police action and a main cast made up mostly of relatively new characters. There’s a lot to unpack this week, and we hope you enjoy the discussion (even if some of it does veer into a bit of a whinge!).
Up next on the podcast it's the news segment, where we check out who from Corrie has found themselves on the longest for the annual National Television Awards, and we round off the show with some more listener feedback.

Conversation Street Episode 680
Gemma's away this weekend, so we're coming at you early with Episode #680 of the podcast, which covers the goings on in Weatherfield between the 12th and the 14th May (Episodes #11,567 - 11,570)
We'll readily admit that we've not really found a whole lot of joy in watching Mick's scenes up to now, but that all changed this week with some very intriguing hints dropped about his past with Kit. And as for the fight on Wednesday's episodes - a triumphant return of Gary's inability to avoid getting seven bells kicked out of him whenever gets on someone's bad side! Highlight of this week though is surely a tie between Glenda's fabulous karaoke stylings and Debbie's drunken antics at the Bistro - both Corrie gold!
Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin - and all change again at the top as John Whiston steps down from his role as Managing Director of Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North - and you'll never guess who's got himself another promotion... We round off the show with some more of your feedback, including some listeners' thoughts on last week's unexpected twist concerning the circumstances around Julie's death...
