This podcast covers the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 2nd and the 5th March (Episodes #11,806 - 11,809).
We're feeling pretty smug this week as one of our predictions for 2026 has already come true: the arrival of Mandy's baby at the Connor-Swain residence! And colour us surprised: we actually really enjoyed the scenes too! Could Carla and Lisa actually be in for that rare thing in soaps - a bit of happiness? (Or at least before that dead body puts a dampener on their wedding day...) Bad news for fans of Jim McDonald, though, the big man himself has said cheerio now for the final time and gone to that big pub in the sky, so he has - and we seem tantalisingly close to discovering whether that theorised link between him and Maggie is true too... Also this week, baby Harper goes under the knife, Lou gets beaten up in prison and Todd struggles to buy Theo a birthday present.
Another news-light week this week, so we skip over The Kabin segment and finish things off with more of your listener feedback.

This week’s bonus podcast is a character profile of Dee-Dee Bailey, the hotshot solicitor who burst onto the cobbles in 2022 after being teased for nearly three years! In our opinion, she was well worth the wait, and in this episode we take a look back at her time on the Street - from her biggest storylines to our favourite moments along the way. We also chat about how Dee-Dee helped breathe new life into the Bailey family and quickly established herself as one of Corrie’s most compelling new characters of the decade. From supporting Paul through his MND diagnosis to uncovering the dark secrets of her dodgy boyfriend Joel, Dee-Dee’s time in Weatherfield was never short on drama. Join us as we celebrate the organised chaos, big heart and sharp mind that made her such a memorable presence on the cobbles.
