Conversation Street Podcast Episode #588


On our latest podcast, we share our thoughts on the episodes of Corrie shown in the UK between the 7th and the 11th August (Episodes #11024 - 11029).

The race is on to save the Rovers this week when Jenny's attempts to convince the brewery's accountants that it's a good investment fail. Now, we don't reckon there are many viewers who think there's a chance the pub might actually be demolished, but we still enjoyed drama surrounding whether or not the Newtons would change their minds - not least because it gave plenty of screen time to our beloved Henry! Meanwhile, Stu's not happy to discover that Eliza's been secretly chatting with her dad online - can Dom really be trusted? Also this week, newbie Ruby wins the lead role in Glenda's production, Shona gets a new comrade in barms, and a stray tie pin found by Rufus' pool risks landing Stephen in hot water.

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we chat about a couple of upcoming events Corrie fans might enjoy attending, and we finish things off with more of your fabulous feedback.

For this week's bonus podcast, we raid the old mail bag and pull out two more of your listener questions to have a good old natter about! First off, we spend a good hour or so pondering which characters are now quite different to how they were when they first appeared on the Street, and for what reasons. We're sure most Corrie viewers could name some personalities that have altered - for better and for worse! - over the years, so do our picks match yours? After that, we're tasked with coming up with some modern takes on classic Corrie stories. Are there any storylines from the 60s or 70s that would work today, and what modern spin would we put on them? This one actually turned out to be quite tricky as so many early stories HAVE been redone in one way or another, but we gave it our best shot!
