On our latest podcast, we chat about Corrie's 65th anniversary week, the episodes shown between the 8th and the 12th December 2025 (Episodes #11,740 - 11,745)
Tell you what - you go nearly 65 years with nary a snifter of a flashback on Coronation Street, and in 2025, two episodes revolving round them have turned up at once. Whilst Kit's earlier this year felt like more of a bigger production, though, this week's look into Maggie's past was far more low key - though the revelation at the end that she's been covering up her involvement in Ben's father's death for all these years has certainly had many viewers looking at her in a different light now! And speaking of non-linear storytelling, was it just us, or did Carla and Lisa's break up on Friday's episode smack of déjà vu? Also this week, Debbie and Ronnie bring their wedding forward to the New Year, and Megan and Will arouse Lauren's suspicions...
Up next on the podcast, we take a look at the Corriedale broadcast schedule, and we round things off with more of your listener feedback.

In the second of our special episodes marking Corrie’s legendary tram crash disaster, we head behind the scenes to explore exactly how this unforgettable week came to life. From the first spark of the idea in the writing room, to the movie level special effects and the full-throttle promotion of the show’s 50th anniversary, we leave no piece of rubble unturned, and also take a closer look at how the landmark live episode was pulled off. With insights from writer Jan McVerry and memories from cast members including Vicky Binns, Sally Dynevor and Becky Hindley, this deep dive serves up everything you ever wanted to know about making one of Coronation Street’s biggest and boldest weeks ever.
