On our latest podcast, we take a look at the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 3rd and the 5th February (Episodes #11,483 - 11,488).
Although Corrie had to tie up the 'What happened to Amy?' thread and of course throw in a few Carla scenes to appease the hungry fans, the vast majority of the action centred around the fire at the Platts' house this week. If you enjoyed last year's Whodunnits centred around Lauren and Joel, you're in luck because Corrie has dipped into the same well again this week by presenting a number of suspects for the arson - did Abi torch the house to cover her tracks? Leanne to get revenge on her boyfriend-stealing sister? David to claim on the insurance? Or maybe the culprit is a character we may not be supposed to suspect at this point - someone who hasn't yet had the chance to explain their movements in the minutes before that match was tossed through the letterbox...
After exhausting our thoughts and theories about the week's episodes, we take a trip to The Kabin, where we celebrate Corrie's win at the Broadcast Awards, then we hear some listeners' thoughts on the fire in the feedback section.

The news dropped this week that from January 2026, Corrie (and Emmerdale!) will be moving to five half hour episodes a week, Monday to Friday. What effects could this massive scheduling change have on our favourite soap? What could work well, and what questions do we still want answered? We couldn't wait until the end of the week to discuss this one, so here's a separate episode with our immediate reactions!
For such a small location, Coronation Street has certainly seen its fair share of blazes over the past 65 years! In this week’s bonus episode, we take a fiery trip down memory lane, reliving Corrie's most unforgettable infernos -from flaming fast food vans and blazing bureaus to the Rovers going up in smoke and even an entire block of flats set ablaze! But what’s been the biggest cause of these disasters - tragic accidents or something more sinister? How many beloved (and not-so-beloved) characters have met a fiery fate? And who are the unluckiest - or perhaps most suspicious -residents who always seem to be lurking when flames start to rise? Tune in to find out!

Hi, just a quick message to mention that if Corrie is on every weekday at 8.30pm, sometimes that will clash with sporting events (as it has done this week), what then? Will they have to move some episodes to Saturday or Sunday to keep them synchronised? This could cause problems. If they had Corrie on at 7pm it would avoid this problem, but are viewers ready for this time slot or 8,30? Questions, questions. Thanks
