On our latest podcast, we have a natter about the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 13th and the 17th March (Episodes #10900 - 10905).
This week, Daisy goads Justin into getting rough with her within Craig's line of sight - at last, enough evidence for him to get arrested! We don't think it's time for Daisy to breathe a sigh of relief quite yet, though... Meanwhile, Stephen's campaign of making Carla think her psychosis has returned finally pays off, and by the end of the week, there's a new Lord of the Underworld. What will he do with his new position of power? Only time will tell, but we definitely reckon Rufus should be watching his back... Also this week, smiley Miley bursts onto our screens and Faye's torn about how close she should get to her, Beth's meet-up with Marco makes us think she's a lot more suited to him than Kirk, and Damon's back on the scene to settle an unresolved score with Nick..
Next up in the podcast it's The Kabin, and Gemma's unsurprisingly excited to hear about Simon Gregson's recent appearance on a ghost hunting show (though alas! We don't have access to the service that's showing it!) and then we round things off with more of your lovely feedback.

For this week's bonus podcast, we take a look at the times when Coronation Street has been affected by industrial action. Back in the 60s and 70s, striking actors and technicians caused some pretty significant disruption to the production of Corrie, and viewers were faced with not seeing their favourite characters for extended periods, having to return to watching episodes in black and white and even, in one case, going months with no Coronation Street at all! In addition to discussing real life examples of striking affecting Corrie, we also take a look at the times when characters themselves have taken to the picket lines to protest the actions of their tyrannical bosses (usually Mike Baldwin, to be fair!) and ponder whether we'd like to see more of this kind of story on the show.
