Conversation Street Podcast Episode #734


On this week's episode of the podcast, we chat about what happened in Corrie between the 25th and the 29th May (Episodes #11,864 - 11,868).

There's a new guy in town, and in keeping with seemingly all of Corrie's new additions to the cast recently, he's a bit of a git! Idris schmoozed his way into Weatherfield this week, and it didn't take long for Leanne to fall for his roguish charms - just how long will it take for her to find out he's not quite as 'chill' as he first appears? Also this week, Daniel loses control after Truthteller's trolling intensifies, Ben worries that Megan's left Will seriously damaged, and Tyrone's got a secret that could set Summer free... but will he risk his own arrest by revealing what he knows about the night Theo died? 

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we take a first look at the scheduling chaos in store for Corrie once the World Cup starts, and we round off the podcast with more of your feedback on the recent goings on in Weatherfield.

It’s time for another classic character profile – though this week, we’re tackling an entire family in one go, because let’s face it, most of them probably couldn’t sustain a whole episode on their own! Arriving on the cobbles in 1974, the Hopkins clan – henpecked husband Idris, long-suffering Vera and formidable matriarch Megan – only stuck around for six months, so what exactly went wrong, and did the show give up on them too soon? We discuss the family’s brief and, at time, chaotic stay in Weatherfield and the continuing adventures of daughter Tricia, who managed to outlast the rest of her relatives and carve out a few memorable stories of her own.
