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.

Daisy Midgeley Character Profile
In this week's bonus episode, we’re diving deep into the life and legacy of Daisy Midgeley – one of Weatherfield’s most chaotic, captivating, and controversial residents. From flirty newcomer to fierce pub co-owner, acid attack survivor and serial schemer, Daisy’s storylines have kept us gripped for four and a half fabulous years. We chart her journey from 2020 to her dramatic 2025 exit, exploring the trauma that shaped her, her tangled love life, social media missteps, and whether she leaves behind a legacy to rival soap sirens of the past.

Conversation Street Episode #678
On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the comings and goings in Weatherfield between the 28th April and the 2nd May (Episodes #11,555 - 11,560).
After a fantastic four and a half years on the Street, minxy Daisy slinks out of Weatherfield this week, but what did we think of her exit, and what's going to happen with the chaos left in her wake? Daniel might be able to console himself with Mickey Mouse's autograph after all, but things are certainly not looking good for our Jenny... Meanwhile, Debbie gets the news she's been dreading from the hospital, and Carl looks all set to take advantage. Also this week, Gary comes out from wherever he's been hiding and snaps up the builder's yard, George is worried for his future with Eileen, and Betsy continues to cause tension between Carla and Lisa.
Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we celebrate the life of Corrie original Philip Lowrie and check out the shortlist on the British Soap Awards - how are Corrie's chances looking this year? We round things off with a load of lovely listener feedback.

Thelma Barlow Interview
It's not often you get to sit down and chat with a bona fide Corrie legend, but we had the chance to do just that recently when we spoke to Thelma Barlow, the actress behind the beloved newsagent Mavis Wilton. In this interview, Thelma talks about how she got into acting, her fondest memories of working on the cobbles and life after Corrie, including the new short film that she recently starred in, Sleepless In Settle.

Conversation Street Episode #677
On our latest podcast, we chat about the drama on the cobbles between the 21st and the 25th April (Episodes #11,549 - 11,554).
Todd and Theo's secret affair is out! It was bound to happen at some point, but this week Danielle caught her husband and the undertaker snogging in the factory - and we're struggling to sympathise with the strong-armed scaffolder, to be honest.. But is he fooling himself by going back to his wife by the end of Wednesday's episode? Also on the romance front this week, we get to see true love rekindled for Julie and Brian and 100% fake love between Jenny and Dom - or one-sided love at least. Will Jenny rumble him before she parts with her cash, and will Daisy realise that she's being scammed too? Also this week, Betsy and Lauren go for a spin, Dylan asserts his dominance and Debbie panics ahead of her MRI results.
Up next on the podcast, we celebrate Jack P Shepherd's CBB win in The Kabin then finish things off with a bit of feedback.
