Conversation Street Podcast Episode #511

On our latest podcast, we have a natter about what went on in Weatherfield during the week of the 21st to the 25th February 2022 (Episodes #10568 - 10573).

This week, the truth's out about Abi's one-night stand... well, half out anyway, as Kevin finds out that the new Mrs Webster was unfaithful to him just before his wedding, just not who with... Surely it's it's only a matter of time until Toyah finds out it was Imran and she has to set aside her 'trained listener' skills in favour of the 'trained kickboxer' techniques she picked up as a teenager? Also this week, things start to get interesting in the Adam story when Sarah discovers the 'evidence' that Lydia's been planting, Linda suggests whisking Joseph back to Portugal with her (can she please take Chesney too?) and Yasmeen fails to see the funny side of Stu's practical joking - though we certainly enjoyed it!

Up next on the podcast it's The Kabin, where we chat about the various schedule changes that all the main soaps will be going through in a few weeks' time, and we round off the show with a little bit of listener feedback.

This week's bonus podcast is another listener question segment! We start by answering a question from Amber, who wants to who our favourite Corrie pet has been over the years (admittedly, it was hard to argue for anyone other than Schmeichel, but plenty of other furry and feathered friends still manage to get themselves a shout out!), then after that, we tackle something from Alex, who wants to know how we'd write a leaving story for our most loved characters. A dignified back of the taxi exit? Jetting into the sunset with a new love? A heroic death, going down in a blaze of glory? We do our best to come up with some fitting finales for our favourites - and we also can't help but come up with a few ideas for getting rid of some of our least favourites too!

Spot the Corrie prop - February 25th 2022

Congratulations this week go to Fairycake who was the first person to spot that last week's classy bag belongs to Lydia. Well done!

For this week's prop puzzle all you have to do is tell us whereabouts on Coronation Street you would find this strange vase.

LYDIA LEADS SARAH TO THE WRONG CONCLUSION Sarah answers Adam’s phone to Sasha from the hotel informing her that they’ve found the ladies’ watch from his last visit. In the factory, Lydia makes out that she spent the night with her married ex. Sarah tells Lydia about the ladies’ watch. Sarah returns home and searches through Adam’s receipts. She finds one from an expensive lingerie shop in London. Sarah calls the hotel and queries Adam’s bill and the receptionist confirms that he ordered Champagne and oysters. Sarah confronts Lydia. Lydia feigns tears and admits that she and Adam are having an affair. Lydia makes out that she and Adam just couldn’t resist each other and suddenly they’re interrupted by the arrival of Adam. Adam assures Sarah that Lydia’s lying through her teeth but when Sarah shows him the receipts, will she believe him?

IMRAN HOPES ABI ISN’T ABOUT TO CONFESS ALL Imran quizzes Abi, wanting to know how much she’s told Kevin. Toyah approaches. Imran and Abi freeze. Later, Abi calls Kevin and leaves a message telling him that she loves him.

STU’S PRANK TROUBLES YASMEEN Ken phones the wine merchant and tears a strip off them for the poor quality of their wines. Stu calls at No.1 with four bottles of posh wine and admits to Ken how he swapped the expensive wine for some cheap plonk from Dev’s, how will Ken react?

ELSEWHERE Craig starts work at Underworld and does his best to appear upbeat for Faye’s sake. His first shift in packing over, Craig paints on a smile, but Faye can see how unhappy he is. In the cafe, Joseph moans to Linda about his miserable life. Sally finds Abi in Victoria Garden and explains that she’s off to stay with Gina.
