On our latest episode of the podcast, we ramble on about the episodes of Coronation Street shown in the UK between the 31st March and the 3rd April (Episodes #11,531 - 11,536).
Everyone loves a good hospital scene on Corrie, right? Right...? Oh well, this week, we got a whole bunch of them in any case, with Dee-Dee's traumatic experience as baby Laila comes a little earlier than planned coming front and centre. Will Dee-Dee be able to give her little bundle of joy up, though? And have James' dreams of a loving family unit been cruelly dashed? Meanwhile, Kevin starts his chemotherapy this week, just in case the Bailey story didn't deliver enough medical drama, but at least we also got the delightful scenes with Todd and Theo to fall back on for a bit of levity! Also this week, Christina's back at the Rovers and she's baying for Jenny's blood, Debbie takes a mysterious tumble in the ginnel, and Chesney finally catches up with the viewers by figuring out the identity of the mysterious silver van man.
Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, and we share the newly released details about this year's British Soap Awards, as well as our thoughts on Corrie legend Thelma Barlow's new short film, Sleepless in Settle. We round off the podcast with a bit of feedback - including a plug from one listener for Calum Lill's first post-Corrie project!

For this week's bonus podcast, we do a classic character profile, taking a look back at the characters of Angela and Tommy Harris. Arriving on the cobbles in 2003 under the alias Nelson as part of a witness protection scheme, the Harris family brought plenty of drama to Coronation Street over a three year period. From Tommy’s tough love parenting and Angela’s struggle to keep their family together, to Katy’s shocking affair with Martin Platt and the tragic events that followed, the Harrises had a short but unforgettable stint on the show. Was Tommy too controlling? Did Angela make the right choices? And do the Harrises deserve to be remembered more than they now are? We discuss all this and more in this week's episode!
