Conversation Street Podcast Episode #745


On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the goings on in Weatherfield between the 9th and the 14th August (Episodes #11,918 - #11,922)

There's been a murder! And a suddenly existing relative is involved! This week, Corrie meshes together two ideas that they're really quite fond of recently, which ultimately results in Tim and Sally getting a new foster child to look after - the question is, is she being completely honest about the circumstances surrounding her mother's death? Meanwhile, Sarah splits with Kit in an attempt to protect his career, but he's not willing to let her go without a fight! Also this week, Idris plays dirty to get his hands on Speed Daal, the Bailey boys rally around Ronnie, and opportunity knocks for Nina.

It's been another very quiet week for news, so we give The Kabin a swerve again, but there's no shortage of feedback, with plenty of thoughts on the Dylan and Betsy story to share! 

00:08:33 - Street Talk
02:17:09 - Feedback


For this week’s bonus podcast, we take a look back on Cassie Plummer’s three years on the cobbles, chronicling her dalliances with drugs, family fall-outs and snuggles and snogs with Steve McDonald. We ponder whether Corrie did the right thing rewriting Tyrone’s family history to bring the Plummers into the show, and consider whether leaving Cassie’s fate shrouded in mystery was the right way to bring her time on the cobbles to a close. Love Cassie or loathe her, it’s impossible to deny the charisma Claire Sweeney brought to the role, and we had a lot of fun revisiting some of her most memorable moments in this discussion. Enjoy!

SALLY AND TIM STRUGGLE WITH THEIR NEW ARRIVAL A scream wakes Sally and Tim, who find Lucy wide-eyed after a terrible nightmare. Tim annoys Sally by trying to offload his own guilt, saying Rachel would still be alive if Sally had let Richie stay. Later, Lily finds Lucy alone in Victoria Garden. When Lucy ignores her, Lily calls her a freak and tries to leave, but Lucy grabs Lily's arm until Jodie intervenes. 

SARAH TELLS BETHANY ABOUT HER NEW FRIEND Sarah confides in Kacey, another inmate, about how worried she is about Harry and how grateful she is to her ex partner for stepping up to the plate. When Kacey lets slip that it’s common knowledge that her ex is a copper, Sarah’s shocked. Kacey finds Sarah hiding in her cell and reveals that another inmate threatened her but Kacey assures her that she’ll protect her. Bethany visits Sarah and notices Kacey staring at them. Sarah explains that Kacey is her new friend and she’s been a lifeline. 

IDRIS STEPS UP TO THE PLATE When Alya announces that she’s got an urgent meeting with a client and can’t help out with the lunchtime rush, Idris offers to step in. Idris offers Alya £35k cash for her share of the business and Alya promises to think about it.
