Preview of today's Coronation Street - Wednesday 26th August 2026

Wednesday 26th August 2026

SALLY’S BREAKTHROUGH WITH LUCY IS SHORT LIVED Lucy is horrified when Sally reveals she has booked her a counseling session. Though she eventually agrees to the meeting, Lucy uses the time to vent her hatred for Sally and Tim. Later, Lucy throws a bowl of popcorn over Joanie, brands them all liars and flees upstairs. Once alone, Lucy takes a secret call from her Dad who tells her to stick to their story.

MAGGIE PUTS HER FOOT IN IT As Ben and Ollie exchange words, they’re distracted by someone on the staircase. When a dishevelled Brian enters, followed by Maggie, everyone is in shock. A smitten Brian later quizzes Eva on how to woo Maggie. Eva assures Maggie that she’s really happy for her but unaware that Brian has just arrived with flowers, Maggie tells Eva it was an underwhelming night and one not to be repeated. When Maggie calls at the Kabin to apologise, will she put things right?

OLLIE GOES FROM HERO TO ZERO Christina confides in Glenda that she’s barely heard a word from George and suspects this might be the end for them. A tipsy Christina topples over in the ginnel, where Jake films her and empties his water bottle on her. Ollie chases Jake, and Glenda and Christina soon find Ollie with Jake pinned to the floor. When Christina reveals Jake only used water, Ollie is mortified and releases him.

KIT FEELS THE PRESSURE Kacey enters Sarah’s cell to find her in tears, but when Kacey asks if she’s crying over Harry, Sarah’s unnerved to realise she knows her son's name. As Bethany sorts the washing she finds some blood on one of Kit’s t-shirts. What has he done?

ELSEWHERE Todd advises Celeste to forget about Bernie and enjoy the time she has left. When Todd reveals that he’s off to Pride at the weekend, Celeste tells him she’ll come along too.

Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 24th August

Tim Metcalfe and Lucy standing on the cobbles in Coronation Street.

The heatwave has hit the street and Lucy is outside in the sun being harassed by Jodie who's certainly got a tan. It's going to look a bit odd in October when the leaves are coming off the trees and the cold is creeping in, yet it's the August heatwave on the street. Tim later tells Lucy that he persuaded Ritchie to go back to the house and Lucy immediately blames him and then attacks Joanie. I'm still of the opinion that Lucy is the real killer.

Todd standing in the doorway looking worse for wear while Summer, Glenda, Christina and Mary gather in the living room in Corrie

Everyone's mad at Todd for getting off with the fella Glenda fancied (out of all the women on the street, I'd've thought that Glenda would have good gaydar). Todd gives short shrift to Glenda and then snipes at Christina, who tears off a strip or five. I'm quite enjoying the return of nasty Todd.

Celeste standing beside a green door on Coronation Street, looking concerned.

Something else I'm enjoying is Frances Barber (Celeste) who turns out to be Bernie's (long lost?) aunty. She bumps into la Winter-Alahan but Bernie blanks her. Todd tries to tell her the situation re: Celeste, but she's not interested (for now, anyhow).

In the pub, Ben launches the Deep Brew Sea craft beer promotion. I'm pretty sure they already did this storyline back when Liz was Queen of t'Rovers and she bought in some craft beer and nobody liked it. Corrie joins the 21st century by having an influencer snap a pic of the new beer for his socials and Ben persuades him against going to Speed Daal so that the Rovers can sell more hotpots - and also get one over on Ollie, who gets pretty, pretty mad at his dad's scheming.
