On our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the happenings on the Street between the 24th and the 28th August (Episodes #11,928 - #11,931).
There’s a bit more comedy on the cobbles this week, which is always appreciated - and the unexpected dalliance between Brian and Maggie is certainly the most intriguing storyline of the lot! She doesn’t seem too keen to go back for round two just yet, but we’ll be keeping everything crossed... Meanwhile, Sarah finally stands up for herself in prison after becoming sick to the back teeth of Kacey’s threats - but has she really seen the last of her tormentor? Also this week, George reunites with Christina after his trip away, Ollie manages to get himself arrested after a spot of vigilantism goes pear-shaped and Lucy and Richie share a secret phone call about “sticking to the story” over Rachel’s death. Now what exactly could they be hiding...?
We finish off the podcast with more of your fabulous feedback, including another review of the Studio 1 tour and some thoughts about differences between UK and US soaps.

We’re delving into the Listener Questions pot for this week’s bonus podcast, starting with one from Kit, who wants to know whether there are any female villains from Corrie’s past who should have been turned into killers. We all know there’ve been far fewer lady baddies on the show than men, but how does that compare with real-life crime statistics, exactly how many Weatherfield femmes fatales have already taken someone’s life, and who else could have crossed that line? After that, we ponder Martin’s question about whether Corrie should ever recast a character when an actor decides to leave. It’s something UK soaps rarely do, yet across the pond it’s common practice – so why the difference? And can we think of any recent departures where we might actually have preferred a new head on the character rather than seeing them leave the cobbles for good? And if you’ve got any thoughts of your own on either of these topics, do let us know!
