Conversation Street Podcast Episode #754


On this podcast, we give our verdict on the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 11th and the 16th October (Episodes #11,959 - #11,964).

Sarah’s trial is finally here, and to say things aren’t going her way would be a bit of an understatement! Although we don’t think her life was actually in danger when she took that swing at Theo, the law says she only had to *believe* it was - so just how convincing a job did she do of persuading the jury that she was acting in self-defence, and what consequences could she and Gary face for their actions in the aftermath of Theo’s death? There’s plenty more Platt drama this week too, as Jodie answers the prayers of many a Corrie fan by pulling a disappearing act, whilst Bethany discovers that keeping her night with Kit a secret might have just become a whole lot more difficult... Also this week, Debbie begins to suspect that Ronnie might be playing away, Ross tries to get Dorin interested in boxing and it’s all-out war between the Bistro and Speed Daal - but should Nick really be throwing in the towel so soon?

We round off the show with more of your thoughts on the recent Corrie drama as we read through some listener emails.

In this week's all-singing, all-dancing bonus episode, we take a look at the music of Coronation Street over the years. From the story behind its iconic theme tune to the changing use of incidental music, from characters defined by their musical talents to cast members who hit the charts themselves, this wide-ranging discussion charts Corrie’s high and low notes from the past 65 years - tune in!

SARAH’S FATE IS IN KIT’S HANDS Bethany tells David that Sarah’s barrister called and Kit won’t be attending court. At the trial, the prosecution barrister questions Gary. Meanwhile an upset Bethany hurries out of the courtroom, returns home and puts pressure on Kit to do the right thing. When Kit takes the stand, will he tell the whole truth?

Sarah calls Bethany from prison and tells her that if she’s found guilty she’d like her to have custody of Harry.

NICK COMES TO BLOWS WITH IDRIS When Nick calls at Speed Daal, Idris takes the opportunity to wind him up by suggesting that both his relationship with Sam and his business are both on their knees. In the bistro, Sam confesses to Nick how he’s been on the receiving end of some horrible online trolling and he felt able to confide in Idris. Idris calls at the bistro and tells Nick that he should do the decent thing and sell the bistro back to Leanne. 

DEBBIE DERAILS RONNIE’S BIRTHDAY PLANS Ronnie assures Debbie that he’s not having an affair, Debbie relents and tells him that for his birthday she’s booked the honeymoon suite at the hotel. But when Ronnie arrives at the hotel with his overnight bag, Debbie’s mortified to realise she’d forgotten and hired the honeymoon suite out to someone else. 

ROSS TRIES TO BOND WITH TYRONE Ross invites Tyrone to an evening at a local boxing gym. When Ross suggests they take Dorin along too, Tyrone’s not sure but Ross insists. Returning home, Ross suggests to Tyrone they should go every week but is left annoyed when Tyrone turns him down. 

ELSEWHERE Ken shows Daniel an article about a piece of land belonging to the school and urges him to utilise it for the good of the pupils rather than let it be sold for profit.
