It was an early episode of the podcast this week, covering the Weatherfield happenings between the 28th September and the 1st October (Episodes #11,951 – #11,953).
Eva began the week in a heap at the bottom of the Rovers cellar steps, so naturally the big question was whether she’d remember who pushed her before some innocent suspect got dragged into it instead. Carl did indeed end up being carted off to the nick, causing yet another rift between him and Debbie, but by the end of today’s episode the finger was finally pointing in the right direction: Sam. And it turns out that almost sending his auntie to an early grave is the least of his worries! Sam isn’t the only one carrying a guilty conscience this week, either, with Lucy clearly haunted by what happened during her mum’s final moments. Jodie, meanwhile, seems to be suffering from no such burden whatsoever. Absolutely shameless!
Not a whole lot of news this week, so we gave The Kabin a swerve, but there’s still a bit of time for some more listener feedback before the show’s end.

Following the sad news of actress Stephanie Cole’s death last month, our bonus podcast this week looks back at the cantankerous battleaxe she brought to the cobbles between 2011 and 2013: Sylvia Goodwin. Perhaps you remember her best for getting high on space cakes, maybe it was her stint as a slot-machine queen, or perhaps locking Norris in the loo at Roy’s Rolls is the moment that sticks in your mind most fondly! Whatever the case, we revisit Sylvia’s most memorable moments, ponder whether she was ever really meant to be a likeable character and consider just how much more we might have seen from her had Stephanie not had to leave the show abruptly just as Hayley’s final storyline was getting under way.
