Conversation Street Podcast Episode #732

On this week's podcast, we chat about everything that went on in Weatherfield between the 11th and the 15th May (Episodes #11,854 - 11,858)

It’s been a long time coming, but Tim finally got that chat with Will this week, convincing the lad not only to admit that the rumours about him and Megan were true, but also to report her to the police - but is there enough evidence to put her away for good? Meanwhile, Sam’s hallucinations take an even darker turn when he thinks he overhears Nick and Toyah talking about him and receives a visit from a deeply sinister and uncanny Roy. Just what will this devil on his shoulder persuade him to do next? Also this week, Maggie drops a bombshell on Ben when she’s forced to confess what really happened the night his father died, Summer reveals she’s been offered a university place in America, and Daniel strikes up an unexpected friendship with Jodie.

In The Kabin segment, we're joined by John from Corriepedia, who chats about some remarkable discoveries made this week about Corrie's 1960 dry runs, and we finish off the show with more of your fabulous feedback.

This week’s bonus episode of the podcast is a character profile of someone who’s definitely up there as one of our favourite characters of the 2020s: Sam Blakeman. Ever since he first rocked up in his newfound dad Nick’s life six years ago, we’ve loved the precocious young scamp’s quirky personality, passion for science and astronomy and knack for making even the most hardened of Weatherfield criminals go soft around the edges. Over the years, he’s been through far more than most adults on the Street – from Natasha’s tragic death and his heartbreaking selective mutism to chess tournaments, prison visits and his on-off romance with Hope – and through it all, Jude Riordan has continued to give one of the strongest performances from a young actor we’ve ever seen on the show. In this episode, we chart Sam’s story from the very beginning, discuss his best relationships, revisit some of his biggest moments and consider where we’d like Corrie to take Sam in the future once he’s finished navigating that tricky time in anyone’s life that is high school… So grab your telescope, point it towards Weatherfield and join us as we blast off through the life and times of one of Corrie’s brightest young stars!
