On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about all the Corrie drama between the 16th and the 20th March (Episodes #11,814 - 11,818).
And what a week it was! Like many Corrie fans, we were pretty sceptical of the grooming plot line when it first kicked off last November - did the new family at the helm of the Rovers really need something as grubby and controversial as this as their establishing story? This week, however, when Sam finally confessed his suspicions, when Daniel discovered that Megan was pregnant - and likely with Will's baby - and when the Battersby sisters and the Driscolls united to bring her down... quite frankly, we were gripped from start to finish! Not that it's finished yet, of course - April 23rd is still over a month away... Elsewhere on the Street, Mal finally woke up and definitely seemed like he knew more than he was letting on to Kit about his attack, Adam's refusal to drop Jackie as a client led to the company's emails being leaked, and Theo continued to try and worm his way back into Todd's life - could next week's planned wedding still go ahead?
In a brief Kabin segment, we take a look at who from Corrie has been nominated in this year's TRIC Awards and round things off with more of your listener feedback.

Now here's a character who we never thought we'd hear mention of on Corrie again, but when Samantha Failsworth's name was dropped as an apparent attendee at Jim McDonald's funeral recently, we just had to take the opportunity to put together a character profile! First appearing on the Street in 1996, Samantha turned many a guy's head during her two-year tenure on the show. Beneath that confident exterior, though, were some secrets about her past just waiting to be uncovered - including the fact that she was on the run from a marriage that lasted only two days! In this episode of the podcast, we look back on her most memorable moments and share some fascinating trivia about her casting courtesy of some old issues of the official Corrie magazine.
