On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 23rd and the 27th February (Episodes #11,801 - 11,805).
This week on the cobbles, the Mal storyline kicked up a gear as Bernie’s unwanted admirer crossed the line from irritating nuisance to full-on physcho stalker – only to end up in intensive care after a brutal attack by an unknown assailant. In true Weatherfield fashion, Bernie is wrongfully arrested, though it's soon revealed that that it was Kit who bonked him on the head. With a tenacious colleague sniffing around the case, could DC Green’s career now be hanging in the balance? Elsewhere on the street, a little more of Jodie's mysterious past comes to light when a young girl who she seemingly nannied for once show up to meet her - plus we see another item added to her secret box of trinkets... Meanwhile, Steve learns that his dad has been taken into hospital, George worries that a string of blunders at the undertaker’s could damage the business’s reputation, and the spark between Ollie and Lauren is swiftly extinguished following an intervention from Maggie.
Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, and we weigh in on some candid comments from Maureen Lipman and Sally Ann Matthews about the state of the show at the moment, all of which is pretty timely in the wake of Iain MacLeod's interview last week! We round off the show with more of your feedback.

We recently headed up north for another Corrie location hunt, ticking off several spots that were completely new to us. First up was The Saddleworth Hotel, seen earlier this year as the setting for Debbie’s ill-fated wedding, followed by a visit to Bolton’s Old Magistrates’ Court – a familiar backdrop for some of Coronation Street’s most explosive trials in recent years. While we were there, we also caught three former Coronation Street stars on stage at the Octagon Theatre, explored the latest additions to the MediaCity tour, and tracked down a couple of other locations that have popped up in smaller scenes over the years. It was a whirlwind trip full of cobbles-related goodness, and in this episode we share all the highlights - the sights, the surprises and, of course, plenty of Corrie chat along the way!
