Episode Review Friday 10 July 2026

Welcome. We have two episodes this evening so there is a bit of detail but I am only going for the headlines. Cassie has the mother of all hangovers when she wakes in the Chariot Square Hotel, on her own. When she gets home she is told by the girls that there is a family meal tonight in the Bistro and her presence is required. Steve wants to try and talk through their differences - he sees no need to get married given how often he has failed at it in the past. They both agree to forget the last couple of days. Ty, Fiz, Cassie, Steve, Dorin, Hope and Ruby gather and the two girls spring their genetic surprise - Ross - Ty's biological father whom they have been messaging as Ty wanting to meet. It transpires that Ross was also at the Chariot Square Hotel last night when Cassie was indulging in her "me time". After a chat with Ross, Tyrone tells him that he is not prepared to have any more family in his life. Ross is obviously not happy about it.

Betsy, Laruen, Dylan and Brody are milling around with Betsy sounding unsure about going to that London. Abi warns Brody about working for Idris and if Kit has anything on Idris he is not telling Adam.

George follows Christina and discovers she is meeting her ex-husband, Lenny. She is an addict to spending and has multiple credit cards in a variety of names including the ex-husband who agrees not to go to the police if she sorts herself out. George goes with her to an addiction support meeting. There is a house meeting involving Christina, George, Todd, Mary and Glenda. Christina undertakes to get it all sorted - but it looks like an uphill task. Mary does not sound like she will forgive Christina nor will Glenda.

DS Swain visits Todd, to give him an update on the investigation into Theo's death. There is none. Todd hardly seems bothered (well little does she know that he knows etc). Indeed he is fed up with the whole thing. The following day Kit finds he has been taken off the case moving to a big drug investigation and replaced by some new kid on the block. Swain then decides to ask Maria about her and Gary on the night of the death and this just raises Maria's suspicions even higher. Gary and Maria row and she gets het up, ending up in the Rovers where she has a a chat with Kit who reassures her that Gary and Sarah are not having an affair and that Maria can always confide in him, as he is not on the case any longer. Later Maria tells Gary that he hopes he does get arrested and that they can get the truth out of him - because she cannot.

Alfie appears to be on the road to recovery and Abi feels she is unable to sue Idris as she cannot afford a solicitor. Sal arranges a chat with Adam - although it is unlikely he can take the case. In the Rovers Sal and Abi remind Adam that Alfie is Imran's son and against his original decision they sweet talk Adam into taking the case. Alya will not be happy.

In the corner shop Ross makes it clear to Cassie that she gets Ty to play with his daddy or he will remember how little he paid for their night together as a cheap prozzy and will tell Steve about their most recent encounter. Ruby apologises claiming it was all Hope's idea. Cassie tries to talk Ty round but it initially does not go well. After Ross repeats his threat to Cassie she realises this is tricky. Tracy meets Ross in the cafe and has dinner in Speed Dahl with Ross and Steve. Cassie and Ty collect a take away and run into them. Ross is restoring an Austin Allegro (why?). Ty softens when he is reminded that he was unable to be with Dorin for a period of time. They agree to a round of golf - but I am pretty sure that Ty does not play.

As I think is well known Cassie is about to leave and so this is leading up to her exit. Whilst we now know who killed Theo DS Swain does not - I assume at some point it will all go away - but it feels a frag at the moment. Given that Adam is hard up it is not clear how he can afford to work for nothing for Abi - we shall see.

Conversation Street Podcast Episode #740

On this week's Conversation Street, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 6th and the 10th July (Episodes #11,893 - #11,897).

Just a short episode of the podcast this week - by our standards at least - as we're up in Manchester for the Walk For Webster this weekend, we've had a bit of a busy day and we're absolutely knackered! Fortunately, there wasn't too much in the way of massive story twists or revelations to keep us talking in today's episode, although we do delve relatively deeply into Christina's admission that she has a spending addiction - to be honest, we're just pleased she hasn't been up to anything irredeemably sneaky! Also this week, Abi discovers she's got a bit of a mould issue at her flat that nearly has fatal consequences for Alfie, Will tries to adjust to life after Megan, and Tyrone comes face to face with his long-lost father!

It’s Resident Review time again, and this week, we’re moving down one house in the terrace and looking at Number 5 Coronation Street! Like Number 3, The Winter-Brown interior hasn’t been seen on screen at all so far in 2026, but that hasn’t stopped us from sharing our thoughts on the family – how they’ve fared in terms of storylines over the past few years and what direction we’d like to see them go in future. Are the quads nearly reaching the stage where they’ll be able to be used more, and what about Joseph, who’d been very much absent recently but is actually only a little younger than Sam! And is it possible for Gemma and Chesney to have a story that isn’t based on them not having any money? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
