Conversation Street Podcast Episode 440

In our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Coronation Street that were shown in the UK between the 12th and the 16th October (Episodes #10139 to 10144).

Even though he spends half the week hiding upstairs at #11, we still get to see enough of the new incarnation of Todd to be able to form a better opinion of him this week, but was it positive? As well as this, we react to the twist that Gary now appears to be teaming up with Ray to flatten one side of the street as part of the 60th anniversary action, share our thoughts on what Arthur's secret could be, and muse over whether one or two storylines are getting a bit repetitive.

In the Kabin segment, we kick things off with some exciting news about how Corrie's digital team are contributing to the 60th anniversary celebrations on social media before giving a bit of promo to some new side projects from Julie Hesmondhalgh, Connie Hyde and Ian Bartholomew. We finish things off, as always, with more of your listener feedback.

For our bonus podcast this week, we take a look at the first half of the results in Corriepedia's Ultimate Character Survey. Over the summer, Corrie fans went to the site in droves to rank every single regular character there'd ever been on the show, and over the past month, we've loved seeing the results come in every day. Here, we chat about who came in 60th to 31st, remarking on who's risen and who's fallen since the survey done for the 50th anniversary in 2010, and discuss what we think might be some of the reasons for any particularly surprising placements.
