On this week's podcast, we take a look at what went on in Weatherfield between the 10th and the 17th April 2026 (Episodes #11,832 - 11,837)
Although on the whole we felt like this was another good week Corrie, it still demonstrated to us the very highs and very lows of what the show can deliver nowadays. On the one hand, you have an embarrassing 'fire' at Roy's Rolls that was achieved with not even a flicker of a flame and just a load of very CGI-looking smoke; on the other, you have Wednesday's exemplary single thread episode that followed Todd and his friends as he finally broke free of Theo's control and went to the police after another terrible beating. Props to everyone involved there, and we really do hope that the smiling Todd we enjoyed at the end of the week is the one we'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming weeks and months - he deserves it! Also this week, Carl discovers another potential source of cash, Jodie puts her stolen warrant card to use and Ben continues to be at loggerheads with Maggie.
In the Kabin, we take a look abut how some ex-Corrie cast have been getting on in I'm A Celeb, and we round off the show with a bumper crop of your fantastic feedback.

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited behind the scenes at Coronation Street for a press day, where as well as being able to view a sneak preview of some very special upcoming episodes, we had the chance to chat with a bunch of cast members and take a look around Underworld and Debbie's flat! But that wasn't all that made this trip to Manchester special: we also got to take a picture with Barbara Knox at a prestigious local event, met with CBBC star and mega Corrie fan Hacker T Dog and went on the Coronation Street Experience on a bunch of lovely puppers! On this special episode of the podcast, we chat about our experience, overlaid with a tonne of photos and footage from the weekend.
Also this week, we sat down in Roy’s Rolls with Gareth Pierce to discuss his role at the heart of the show’s coercive control storyline.
