Preview of today's Coronation Street - Monday 3 August 2026


Monday 3rd August 2026

CASSIE MAKES A DANGEROUS EXIT  Cassie wakes up on the sofa at No.4 and Tim describes how he found her slumped in the cab office with a bottle of whisky and brought her home. Cassie tells Tim how Steve’s dumped her and Tyrone’s thrown her out. Announcing she’s got a job cleaning on a cruise ship, Cassie shares an emotional goodbye with Hope, Ruby and Dorin. Fiz gives Cassie a family photo to keep. Cassie asks Steve to meet her in the precinct, but Ross pulls up first and offers Cassie a lift, locks the car doors and guns the engine just as Steve arrives. Is Cassie in danger? 

DEBBIE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH HER FUTURE  Debbie tells Ronnie she’s giving up the booze to look after her brain. She offers to help a woman named Sadie who is looking for her daughter, but is taken aback when Sadie snaps at her. On the street, Debbie recognises Sadie. Sienna rushes over to her Mum, but Sadie doesn’t recognise her and lashes out. Sienna rejects Asha’s offer of help and gently leads her Mum away. Debbie watches, horrified to realise this is a glimpse into her own future. 

ELSEWHERE Betsy confides in Ryan that she’d like to talk to Dylan but knows how Lisa will react. Having been summoned by Ryan, Dylan calls round. As Betsy tries to reassure him that she doesn’t blame him for her condition, they’re interrupted by the arrival of Lisa. How will Lisa react?

Coronation Street Episode Review Friday 31 July 2026


A Friday episode on a Friday, now here is a novelty.  We soon get the news that Tracy will be alright following her codeine overdose.  Steve finds a disused packed of the said drug in furtive looking Cassie's cardy and even he manages to put two and two together.  Steve summons Ty as Steve worked out that Cassie had used Tyrone's drug supply and whilst the dosage she used was merely intended to distort the readings of Ross's medical tests at the prison Tracy seems to have had a much higher dosage.  In any event Ross manages to come out of it all smelling of roses as he does the child minding whilst the adults sort themselves out.  Ty has had enough of the drama his mother creates and she must leave his house.  She is already touring as Miss Hannigan in Annie - so in case she has gone by this time next week I hope I can say that I really hope Cassie can come back some time in the future, our screens will be poorer for her absence.


Betsy makes it home from hospital with Debbie providing some useful thoughts as she arrives.  As it  has turned out nice in Manchester today, Betsy, Lisa, Lauren, Carla and Ryan are in their garden with Lisa concerned at the noise coming from next door where Debbie, Sally, Bernie, Fiz, Christina and Mary (but sadly no Glenda) are being loud, slightly alcohol infused and being served fresh pizzas by Tim from the brand new pizza oven which Sally and Tim have bought.  Mary is taking every opportunity to remind Christina of her bad behaviour and all is going well otherwise until Debbie fails to recognise Tim as he delivers pizza and tells him to go away.  


Mary had been hoping for a naked statue of Ben Shepard but as no-one knows what it is Sally has to tell them it is a pizza oven.  The ladies explain who Tim is but Debbie is obviously shocked by her own failure.  It looks like another book fell off the library shelf.  Debbie finishes her drink and then swears off alcohol, she is going teetotal.  


Eventually Ryan, Carla et al get Lisa to see that she is being slightly too much like a helicopter and needs to back off a bit.  She says she gets it.


In other news Nina is still missing her tips.  Nina asks her to be diplomatic when Sienna arrives so within 1 second of her arrival Nina is asking about the mislaid money.  Sienna stomps off.  Later Asha (looking for codeine) opens a drawer containing a brown envelope with all the money in it where Nina must have put it.  Oh dear lots of spilt milk to be sucked up.  


Cassie pleads with Steve but he hands her the cardy and slams the door in her face.  She has nowhere left to go. 



In big news tonight Dorin spoke twice.  Also Hope is clearly the brainbox in the family as she knows how fast the Polish economy is growing.  Ruby is not impressed that Hope can learn her lessons.  Some great lines tonight - Tim is like the Swedish muppet chef and Steve wagering his life on Cassie not being the poisoner.  Carla not wanting to eat the rear end of a lime green caterpillar left over from Frankie's second birthday party.  

In other news Daisy has moved.  She popped off to the Midlands to create Amber in "The Archers" before leaving so Amber could get pregnant (her replacement is not so good at squealing).  Daisy Charlotte Jordan has stayed in the Midlands and is now an apprentice hairdresser / murder mystery solver supporting Sally Philips in the Hairdresser Mysteries.  See you next week.

Conversation Street Podcast Episode #743



On our latest edition of the podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street between the 24th and the 31st July (Episodes #11,907 - #11,913).

Seven episodes of Corrie to catch up on this week thanks to our impromptu trip to France, but we somehow managed to squeeze them into roughly the same amount of podcasting time as usual - perhaps because this batch wasn’t quite so controversial! Jodie’s been up to her old tricks again, leaving us scratching our heads over where on earth she procured a fake gun, what exactly she’s doing posing as Shona online and, perhaps the biggest question of all, how on earth she’s still living under the Platts’ roof after everything she’s done. Meanwhile, Cassie’s huge revelation that Ross paid her for sex when she was just 15 receives a bizarrely muted reaction from her nearest and dearest, so she takes revenge into her own hands - with unintended consequences for Tracy! Also this week, Debbie swears off the booze after failing to recognise Tim, Nina accuses Sienna of pinching her tips and Idris becomes the latest in a strangely ever-growing line of Corrie characters to reveal that they aren’t actually the family member everyone thought they were. The big question here, though, is: does anyone really care?

Exciting news for Corrie fans in The Kabin this week as The Coronation Street Experience reveals  it'll be taking guests into the actual studios to visit the Rovers Return set this month, and we finish off the podcast with more of your fantastic feedback.
