On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 25th and the 29th April (Episodes #10622-10627).
All in all, it was a pretty good Corrie week, we thought, with a good mix of drama, comedy that was actually funny, soppy romantic scenes and characters having a good old gossip about someone else. As Daniel spectacularly fails to apologise for accusing Daisy of revealing Nicky's secret past this week, the guilt of being a nasty little scrote is starting to really weigh on Max - though we reckon there were still a lot of viewers wincing as he got himself a very nasty injury on Friday's episode! Also this week, George's big secret is revealed, Toyah gets tiddly at her hen do, and Jacob continues to prove what an asset he is to the show - and not just by making Simon look like a complete plank either!
Up next on the podcast, it's time for the news, and we ponder over whether it's a good idea for Corrie to have a new product placement on the show - this time, Heineken 0.0! After a bit of feedback from our lovely listeners, we delve into a Kabin Extra section, where we share our first reactions to a bit of spoilery cast news that broke a few hours before recording the podcast - and it's certainly something we've got strong feelings about!

For this week's bonus podcast, we take a look at the character of Doreen Lostock, one of the original 'barm cake girls' from 1961, and who, along with Sheila Birtles, helped inject a shot of youthful energy into early original Corrie cast. Whether she was out chasing boys, dancing the twist with the volume up in the Corner Shop flat or getting into scrapes with a young Emily Nugent at Gamma Garments, Doreen was never short on energy, which is why, though only lasting on the show for a few years, she's fondly remembered by so many viewers of Corrie's early episodes.
