Coronation Street Episode Review Friday 31 July 2026


A Friday episode on a Friday, now here is a novelty.  We soon get the news that Tracy will be alright following her codeine overdose.  Steve finds a disused packed of the said drug in furtive looking Cassie's cardy and even he manages to put two and two together.  Steve summons Ty as Steve worked out that Cassie had used Tyrone's drug supply and whilst the dosage she used was merely intended to distort the readings of Ross's medical tests at the prison Tracy seems to have had a much higher dosage.  In any event Ross manages to come out of it all smelling of roses as he does the child minding whilst the adults sort themselves out.  Ty has had enough of the drama his mother creates and she must leave his house.  She is already touring as Miss Hannigan in Annie - so in case she has gone by this time next week I hope I can say that I really hope Cassie can come back some time in the future, our screens will be poorer for her absence.


Betsy makes it home from hospital with Debbie providing some useful thoughts as she arrives.  As it  has turned out nice in Manchester today, Betsy, Lisa, Lauren, Carla and Ryan are in their garden with Lisa concerned at the noise coming from next door where Debbie, Sally, Bernie, Fiz, Christina and Mary (but sadly no Glenda) are being loud, slightly alcohol infused and being served fresh pizzas by Tim from the brand new pizza oven which Sally and Tim have bought.  Mary is taking every opportunity to remind Christina of her bad behaviour and all is going well otherwise until Debbie fails to recognise Tim as he delivers pizza and tells him to go away.  


Mary had been hoping for a naked statue of Ben Shepard but as no-one knows what it is Sally has to tell them it is a pizza oven.  The ladies explain who Tim is but Debbie is obviously shocked by her own failure.  It looks like another book fell off the library shelf.  Debbie finishes her drink and then swears off alcohol, she is going teetotal.  


Eventually Ryan, Carla et al get Lisa to see that she is being slightly too much like a helicopter and needs to back off a bit.  She says she gets it.


In other news Nina is still missing her tips.  Nina asks her to be diplomatic when Sienna arrives so within 1 second of her arrival Nina is asking about the mislaid money.  Sienna stomps off.  Later Asha (looking for codeine) opens a drawer containing a brown envelope with all the money in it where Nina must have put it.  Oh dear lots of spilt milk to be sucked up.  


Cassie pleads with Steve but he hands her the cardy and slams the door in her face.  She has nowhere left to go. 



In big news tonight Dorin spoke twice.  Also Hope is clearly the brainbox in the family as she knows how fast the Polish economy is growing.  Ruby is not impressed that Hope can learn her lessons.  Some great lines tonight - Tim is like the Swedish muppet chef and Steve wagering his life on Cassie not being the poisoner.  Carla not wanting to eat the rear end of a lime green caterpillar left over from Frankie's second birthday party.  

In other news Daisy has moved.  She popped off to the Midlands to create Amber in "The Archers" before leaving so Amber could get pregnant (her replacement is not so good at squealing).  Daisy Charlotte Jordan has stayed in the Midlands and is now an apprentice hairdresser / murder mystery solver supporting Sally Philips in the Hairdresser Mysteries.  See you next week.

Coronation Street Episode Review Friday 12 June 2026


Confused?  I am.  I am back briefly and whilst I normally report on Friday's episode by my count we are actually looking at Wednesday and Thursday's episodes stitched together courtesy of some football.

The two episodes were dominated with Sam's increasing paranoia.  Newcomer "evil Roy" was deep inside Sam's head and having run away from Will and locked himself into the cafe Sam is left to face "evil Roy" and "real Roy" at the same time.  I would like to think that David Neilson was paid double for this episode at least.  Sam then hits "real Roy" with a chair and then goes missing overnight with the police and others looking for him.


Having had to release Summer as Tyrone has "remembered" seeing her the dynamic policing duo of Swain and Green interview Maria - we know she has given Gary an alibi but they are convinced that he dunnit (and we have seen him standing over a dead body which is not conclusive evidence).  However she stands up for her man who is behaving increasingly shiftily and they cannot find a reason to re-interview Gary who keeps skulking around with Sarah-Lou.  Gary tells Maria that he did not do it - but she knows something is wrong.  However we are no closer to finding the killer and at this rate the two detectives will be busted back to constable status patrolling the streets on foot.


Glenda, Christine, Sally (and Bernie who is missing) all want to go away with Debbie and Ronnie has arranged a break in Spain.  Debbie however fears that having a turn and being alone in a foreign country is a risk she cannot take.  The trip gets cancelled but alternatives are being discussed over serious amounts of alcohol.  As a side story Carl has a possible job in a garage in Eccles and is going to turn honest for a while.  Ronnie and the girls later agree to do something spontaneous instead of Spain.


For reasons I am not even willing to contemplate Carla and Lisa are going vegan this week.  Why?  However Carla comes across Sam in a ginnel and manoeuvres him to the play park whilst summoning Nick who then promises Sam he will not lock him before taking him to the hospital to have him locked up.  Sam will never trust him again.  Carla of course has experience of paranoia herself so will probably now suffer flashbacks.  At the hospital Toyah and Leanne arrive and they will be with Sam they promise.  

I hope Sam gets the help he needs.  Not sure why Carl has suddenly stopped being devious.  Gary is obviously lying and both he and Sarah know more than they are saying - but do they actually know anything?  Will Jodie go down for assault?  Will Nick accept that Sam is ill because he lost his mothers?  Will Summer ever give up on losing fathers?  These and many more questions are unlikely to be answered next week when I will not be here as I have to go to Yorkshire for a wedding.  See you in two weeks' time.

Episode Review Friday 10 April 2026


Welcome.  Theo has signed his contract for work in Belfast, there is somewhere to live and they are going to leave the Street so farewell Gavin Moss and Harrison Burns - neither of you will be welcome in Ambridge ever again Theo and Todd.  Sarah and Gary have a thought (rare) and decides that if Theo is as bad as everyone says (apart from Carl who has marked his card again - Carl has forgotten to tell Summer that Billy died because of Theo, even though their paths cross about three times but does tell her it was not him) and they invite Danielle (a welcome return, can she please move to the Street with those kids) to a drink in the Bistro.  Honestly Sarah-Lou if you want someone on your side meet them in Liverpool not the establishment nearest Theo's front door.  


So as Sarah is trying to extract stories of Theo's behaviour from Danielle who has only the nicest things to say about the father of her children inevitably Theo and Todd wander in.  Collapse of Sarah's plan.  Sarah thinks that Theo threatens her but Theo informs her that he is not a violent man.  Theo heads into town for drinks and on his return he and Todd are offski.


Nina and Roy are off to a big bat convention.  Roy has had a communication from Mal who has provided the necessary electric certification - and has informed Roy he is heading to Inverness.  This is following all the bad reviews which Jodie left on Mal's page.  When she finds out Bernie suspects that Mal will think it is her and she hopes he really is going to Inverness.  Nick gets Roy to play chess with Sam, who admits that there is a bully at school - but nothing else.  Nina and Roy (who has a cough and is sickening for something) load the bat mobile for their trip and who is watching them from Inverness (not) - see above.  


Stuart, the estate agent, turns up to value Shuttleworths - the state George is in someone should be on self harm prevention watch in my view.  A For Sale sign has to be put up (is that normal - surely no-one would visit an undertaker which is about to disappear?).


Kev and Ronnie have hatched a plan involving Fiona to get the scumbag Carl out of their lives but later Carl dances with his mother with Ronnie watching on and Ronnie realises he cannot split mother and son given all the years that they have not been together.  Kev has to reluctantly accept that Carl is not going to be run out of town yet (although Theo will no doubt want a say in the matter) as Debbie wants Carl to be there.  Fiona also tells Carl about the plan. 


Glenda greeting David.



Bonus picture of Danielle because I can.  She notes that they both managed to turn their partners gay to Sarah!

I should be here next week but cannot be sure about the week after.

Written by John Kerr and directed by Kevin Boyle.
