Conversation Street Podcast Episode #479


On our latest podcast, we spill the beans on what we thought of the past week of Corrie, running from the 12th to the 16th July.

There was plenty of pump action in this week's Corrie, as Todd resorts to desperate measures to keep Will from blabbing to Summer about the extent of his nefariousness when it came to bagging Billy. Meanwhile, after last Friday's drunken revelries, Ryan wakes up in Daisy's bed in a state of undress - just how far did things go with her? And speaking of getting your kit off, is it just us who finds Curtis' apparent desire to photograph every bloke on the Street in their birthday suit more than a little odd, especially as he's only been on the scene for what seems like five minutes?

After Street Talk, we head to the Kabin, where we chat about the recent reports in the papers about Corrie apparently struggling to keep COVID under control, plus we check out what Helen Flanagan's been up to recently and share our thoughts on who absolutely should not win the best soap actor gong at the upcoming TRIC Awards.

We round off the podcast with more of your fabulous feedback!

In this week's bonus podcast, we chat about the episodes we've been watching on our DVDs from between 1995 and 1999. This is the era that Corrie saw a big shift in tone as well as a bit of an overhaul of the cast. Out went the likes of Bet, Raquel, Derek and Percy, and in came the Battersbys, the Mallets and fan favourites Roy and Hayley. The late 90s also had Corrie hitting the headlines with the notorious Free The Weatherfield One story, tackled domestic violence in the McDonald household and saw Street residents gearing up for Millennium night. It was a time of big change for the show, but was it for the better?
